Filter by:Different plaque morphology may have an important effect on the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), as recent studies show that patients with plaque rupture have a significantly higher risk of cardiac events compared with those with plaque erosion. The primary purpose of this study is to find risk factors and biomarkers for different culprit lesion morphology to perform accurate risk stratification and determine an appropriate treatment strategy for patients with AMI.
This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled clinical trial, aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of Optical Coherence Tomography or Intravascular Ultrasound or Quantitative Coronary Analysis to guide Firehawk stent implantation , and compared the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcified lesion in coronary artery.
BACKGROUD: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly used to treat unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis. Protected LM PCI is considered standard of care in most centers. OCT allows for precise determination of stent placement, stent expansion and apposition. The pattern of vessel healing can be very precisely studied if immediate post-stent implantation OCT/IVUS data is compared to the 6-month post-PCI interval. While OCT cannot be optimally used for ostial lesion imaging, IVUS can be used to image ostial lesions/stent placement. Optimal and consistent vessel healing is particularly important in LM PCI where stent thrombosis is a potential complication with serious adverse outcome. HYPOTHESIS: Due to the absorption of the polymer of the Boston Scientific Synergy Stent over time, early strut coverage patterns and timeline may be different than previously observed in DES and BMS stents in LM PCI. Late acquired stent malapposition (LASM) is expected to differ from previous observations with traditional DES/BMS. Stent coverage in LM PCI will be studied with OCT or IVUS at six and 12 months and compared to OCT or IVUS at the time of stent implantation. OCT/IVUS data will be analyzed in a core lab (CRF) and correlated with clinical outcomes at 6 and 12 months.
In many diseases of the vitreo and chorioretinal complex, perfusion changes have a diagnostic, prognostic or causative role. The visualisation of perfusion was limited to invasive techniques, which were only to depict vasculature in one plane. Optical coherence tomography is able to visualise and quantify eye perfusion layer-specific and non-invasive.
The objective of PERFECTO is to assess the reendothelialization at 3 months after successfully CTO percutaneous intervention (PCI) with new generation drug eluting stent (DES) by OFDI analysis. Designed as a multicentric, observational and prospective study which will be conducted at University Hospital of Poitiers (France), a systematic OFDI analysis will be realized immediately after CTO-PCI and at 3 months. Known as major predictive factors of stent thrombosis, percentages of malapposition, uncovered struts and neointimal hyperplasia proliferation will be measured over the entire length of each stent implanted combining in a composite primary endpoint.
All comer registry who had undergone intravascular optical coherence tomography during and/or after coronary intervention.
The investigators will obtain human skin specimen (sized approximately 1 cm x 1 cm) for dermatological surgical patients in National Taiwan University Hospital, after informed consent was obtained. Human skin keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and melanocytes will be cultured from the human skin specimen. The three dimensional images of these cultured cells will be observed by a ultra-high resolution 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography.
