Filter by:REGENERATE-COBRA will examine whether autologous stem cell treatment can improve angina symptoms and quality of life for patients with refractory angina. Patients will be randomised (randomly allocated with a 50:50 chance) to either the 'treatment' or the 'sham' group - they will not know which group they are in. In the 'treatment' group: - Stem cells will be collected from bone marrow in the patient's hip under local anaesthetic (a bone marrow aspiration). - Under local anaesthetic, the stem cells will be infused into the arteries that supply blood to the heart through a small tube inserted either in the wrist or the groin. - The follow-up involves a phone call at 1 month and 12 months and clinic visit at 6 months. In the 'sham' group: - A sham bone marrow aspiration is performed - a 3mm nick in the skin will be made under local anaesthetic. - A sham cell infusion is performed - a small tube is inserted either in the wrist or groin under local anaesthetic. - The follow-up involves a phone call at 1 month and 12 months and clinic visit at 6 months.
To demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the CS Reducer for the treatment of patients with ischaemia and non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and through a nested mechanistic substudy investigate the physiological responses in the coronary microcirculation responsible for changes in myocardial perfusion.
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Reducer system for treatment of patients with refractory angina pectoris treated with maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy who demonstrate objective evidence of reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the left coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization. A non-randomized single-arm will further assess the safety and effectiveness of the Neovasc Reducer System in selected subjects with reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the right coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization, subjects with reversible myocardial ischemia without documented obstructive coronary disease and subjects who cannot complete an exercise tolerance test due to an above-the-ankle amputation.
ORBITA-COSMIC is a randomised, double-blinded, placebo controlled trial of the coronary sinus reducer (CSR). The investigators will compare the effects of CSR versus placebo on myocardial perfusion on MRI, exercise time and symptoms in 50 participants with refractory angina and ischaemia.
Patients with refractory microvascular angina fulfilling the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this randomized trial. The primary objective is to investigate whether the proportion of patients reporting an improvement in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina class (≥2 classes) is different at six months after implantation of a Coronary Sinus Reducer followed by optimal medical therapy (OMT) compared to OMT alone.
Despite numerous advances in medical treatment and revascularization procedures for the treatment of patients with stable angina, debilitating symptoms that are unresponsive to conventional therapy may occur in patients unsuitable for revascularization, a condition known as refractory angina. Allopurinol, a methylxanthine oxidase inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia. On the other hand, the anti-ischemic effects of allopurinol have been the subject of increasing interest. Therefore, the investigators will study the safety and efficacy of allopurinol in alleviating ischemic symptoms in patients with refractory angina already on optimal medical therapy.
External Counterpulsation Therapy (ECP) is a therapeutic procedure that performed on patients with angina or heart failure to relieve the ischaemic symptoms, improve functional capacity, and quality of life. In recent studies, ECP has already proved to reduce angina symptoms, decrease degree of ischemic in heart train test. External Counterpulsation Therapy (ECP) therapy is a non-invasive technique for sequentially pressuring calf, lower thighs, and upper thighs through developed cuffs at pressure above systolic blood pressure when diastole, then deflated at systole.
Prospective, multi-center, 2:1 randomized (Treatment : Sham Control), sham-controlled, double-blinded trial to compare treatment using the CardiAMP cell therapy system to sham treatment Treatment Group: Subjects treated with aBMC using the CardiAMP cell therapy system Sham Control Group: Subjects treated with a Sham Treatment (no introduction of the Helix transendocardial delivery catheter, no administration of aBMC)
The purpose of this study is to implant the Reducer in patients with the symptoms of refractory angina, that suffer from refractory angina who demonstrate reversible ischemia.
