Filter by:This prospective registry is intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the TANSEI stent.
Drug eluting stents (DES) are widely used for treatment of coronary artery lesions. The Xience Sierra stent has a refined design of the metal stent backbone and is used in patients with various clinical syndromes and in different lesions. Clinical outcome of patients with previously unknown (silent) diabetes and prediabetes is of increasing interest since the latter group has recently shown to be associated with a significant risk of adverse cardiovascular events after treatment with contemporary DES. Outcome data in a population of high-risk all-comer patients, including many patients with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes, would be of great interest, but such data are not available yet. In addition, there is a lack of data in a general all-comer population. Therefore, the COASTLINE study will primarily assess the safety and efficacy of the Xience Sierra stent in a general all-comer population as well as a high-risk all-comer population.
The purpose of our project is to better understand the characteristics of the young patients with coronary artery disease presenting for cardiac catheterization at our institution and to put forth a program to optimize their risk factors with a focus on gender differences. We will assess traditional and non-traditional risk factors, as well as genetics and environment. These characteristics will be compared by gender to determine unique factors related to women that could subsequently be targeted. The program will begin with universal education about the process of atherosclerosis, risk factors contributing to the disease and specific risk factor goals for each patient for the 6 month program. The patients will then be part of a bimonthly 6 month cardiovascular risk reduction program that will offer both a nutritional program with teaching kitchen component, and exercise instruction lead by an exercise physiologist. Psychological support will be provided to address stress that impairs quality of life, depression or anxiety to fully optimize the lifestyle component. These sessions will be done virtually in order to comply with social distancing until in person sessions can resume. The investigational endpoints of this program will include a variety of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, biomarkers, lifestyle behaviors, quality of life and guideline-based medical regimen. At the end of this phase, we aim to both better understand differences in risk factors and the interventions with the biggest impact in terms of risk factor optimization in men vs. women.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a single-center, randomized, open-label, controlled, dose-escalating, parallel-group study, evaluating the effects and change of endothelial function and gut microbiota after berberine administration in patients with stable coronary artery disease who are at > 8 but ≤ 40 weeks after elective percutaneous coronary intervention
Comparison of Angiography-derived Fractional FLow Reserve And IntraVascular Ultrasound-guided Intervention Strategy for Clinical OUtcomes in Patients with CoRonary Artery Disease
The DOCTORS-LM study will investigate the impact of using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to guide the procedure in angioplasty of lesions of the left main stem responsible for myocardial ischemia.
This study aims to validate the sensor data of gyroscope and accelerometer in detection of hemodynamically significant CAD.
Randomized controlled trial to determinate if the physiological iFR pullback evaluation with Syncvision software (intervention group) could be useful in the reduction of stent length implanted, with the potencial benefit in terms of MACEs reduction at follow-up with respect to angiographic guiding of percutaneous coronary intervention (control group).
There is a clear need to develop improved tools to stratify risk in patients who seek emergency care for chest pain, one of the most common and potentially deadliest conditions encountered in acute care settings. The ECG has been the mainstay of initial evaluation of chest pain patients, yet is currently only diagnostic for a small subset of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Prior studies have identified candidate markers of ECG characteristics and preliminary algorithms that can identify patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction as well as those with very low risk of coronary artery disease. This study will enroll a cohort of consecutive chest pain patients needed to confirm the accuracy of these ECG markers and determine their maximal clinical utility as part of a risk stratification tool. With these improved tools, emergency providers (physicians, nurses, and paramedics) will be able to streamline the care provided to these patients beyond the costly and time-consuming overnight observation for serial cardiac enzymes and provocative testing.
To compare in diabetic patients eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with minimal exclusion criteria, the efficacy and safety of Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES) versus XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES). At least 40% of patients are expected to be affected by multivessel coronary artery disease and 30% with acute coronary syndrome
