Filter by:Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a notorious disease with a high mortality, the diagnostic and management is truly multidisciplinary, and the aim of this study is to analyse the results of the patients admited with an AMI in Hospital de Mar.
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether rapid local ischemic postconditioning (RL-IPostC) is effective in preventing brain edema and safe in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. In this trial, researchers will block antegrade cerebral blood flow temporarily by the way of balloon inflation/deflation in AIS patients immediately after revascularization. It makes the ischemic reperfusion brain tissue have a capacity of adaptation through intermittent blood flow restoration. Researchers will evaluate the protective role and safety of different duration of balloon inflation/deflation. The optimal postconditioning intervention dose will be determined for further confirmative investigation.
The DOWN-SUITE study is multicenter, randomised, controlled, open-label clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment comparing collateral status in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with an in-hospital application of head down tilt -10° to -15° (HDT15) versus usual positioning (0° to +30°) before endovascular mechanical thrombectomy. This study will involve adult patients who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy and who have acute ischemic stroke due to left or right middle cerebral artery occlusion (M1 segment). The investigators hypothesise that HDT15, applied in acute ischemic stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion, will improve collateral circulation, prolong the survival of the ischemic penumbra and improve the clinical benefit from mechanical thrombectomy compared with standard of care (usual positioning 0° to +30°).
The purpose of this study is to identify functional vascular changes and clinical factors correlated with the occurrence of short- or medium-term hand ischaemia after arteriovenous fistula creation.
Critical Limb Ischaemia (CLI), the final stage of arterial disease, is a therapeutic emergency whose prognosis depends largely on the time taken to diagnose it. The growing prevalence of this condition and the associated healthcare costs make it an important public health objective. Diagnostic criteria for Critical Limb Ischaemia differ between learned societies and countries. Its diagnosis is most frequently based on the combination of a clinical criterion (ischaemic decubitus pain and/or necrotic wounds, with a time to onset > 2 weeks) and a haemodynamic criterion (ankle systolic pressure (ASP) < 50mmHg or toe systolic pressure (TSP) < 30 mmHg or transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TCPO2) < 30 mmHg). Recent studies have highlighted the importance of pulsed Doppler flow analysis in quantifying arteriopathy of the lower limbs, both by systematically analysing flow modulation and by measuring the systolic rise time of distal arteries (dorsal artery of the foot and lateral plantar artery). The main aim of our study is therefore to validate a reliable and accessible diagnostic tool for screening patients suffering from CLI so that they can be referred to a reference centre as early as possible.
Evidence for the usefulness of the defibrillator in cases of preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and well-tolerated ventricular tachycardia (without cardiocirculatory arrest or syncope) is lacking, as no previous trials have included such patients. Additionally, sudden death in this particular population is low compared to other subgroups of patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmias. On the other hand, numerous recent retrospective data show that ablation of ventricular tachycardia can reduce mortality, and also clearly reduces the number of recurrences in prospective studies. Finally, a very low rate of sudden death was observed in a multicenter European retrospective study that we conducted, including patients with well-tolerated ventricular tachycardia in structural heart disease with minimally impaired ejection fraction and benefiting from ablation without implantation of defibrillator.
Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion is a frequently occurring life-threatening condition. Although endovascular treatment can effectively open occluded vessels, the successful reperfusion rate exceeds 80%, but the rate of good prognosis is less than 50%. The current clinical focus is on how to improve futile recanalization. Tirofiban is widely used in the treatment of stroke, as it can effectively prevent vascular reocclusion and improve microcirculation perfusion. It has the potential to improve futile recanalization, but there is a lack of high-level evidence-based medical support. This multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of sequential tirofiban therapy following successful mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours of onset.
The goal of the study is to identify and validate flow measurement and ultrasound images in patients undergoing vein bypass surgery below-knee and above ankle
Concentrated autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (ABM MNC) contain potentially therapeutic cell factors and past studies support therapeutic benefit to patients with cardiac diseases of acute myocardial infarction, ischemia, and heart failure when utilized as this study is designed. The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of CardiAMP cell therapy system in patients with ischemic heart failure. It is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled, patient and evaluator-blinded study comparing treatment with the CardiAMP cell therapy system to a control procedure with diagnostic catheterization.
This is a prospective clinical study aiming to investigate the efficacy of Magnetocardiography (MCG) in detecting myocardial ischemia in patients of a suspected non-ST-elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) by using Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as the gold standard for determining the presence and severity of myocardial ischemia.
