Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of MC-1 on the combined incidence of cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) up to and including 30 days following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery compared with placebo.
Reperfusion Injury occurs by the sudden blood flow to the injured and ischemic myocardium during restoration of blood flow either by Mechanical revascularization or thrombolysis. A phenomenon known as Pre-conditioning has been identified to limit the the extent and severity of reperfusion injury but it is very difficult to apply it in patient care setting as timing of acute cardiac or neurologic ischemic event is difficult to reliably predict. Postconditioning or ischemic postconditioning is well known to attenuate the reperfusion injury. There is enough data that shows the benefit of post conditioning in reducing the reperfusion injury in animals. However postconditioning in humans has not been investigated. We hypothesize that Post conditioning will attenuate the reperfusion injury and will be comparable to the effect of preconditioning in humans.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether FX06 is capable of limiting infarct size following balloon catheterization for acute myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this study is to determine if oral atorvastatin administered just before percutaneous coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction improves early and late heart function as compared to placebo.
Early reperfusion therapy has improved the clinical outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but these benefits are limited in some patients by reperfusion injuries. There is now increasing evidence that reactive oxygen species cause reperfusion injury. This study was designed to examine the effects of edaravone, a novel free radical scavenger, in patients with AMI.
The chemokine CXCL8 plays a key role in the recruitment and activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in post-ischemia reperfusion injury after solid organ transplantation. Reparixin is a novel, specific inhibitor of CXCL8. This study is configured to explore the safety and efficacy of reparixin in preventing the delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether doxycycline (Periostat) at a sub-antimicrobial dose will decrease reperfusion injury after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
We, the researchers at Lawson Health Research Institute, propose to investigate the impact of surgical ischemia and reperfusion on skeletal muscle microcirculation using a hand-held microscope.
We conducted a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Cylexin, an inhibitor of the attachment of white blood cells to the endothelium. Our study population was neonates and infants undergoing hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass during surgical repair or palliation of congenital heart defects.
The chemokine CXCL8 plays a key role in the recruitment and activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in post-ischemia reperfusion injury after solid organ transplantation. Repertaxin is a novel, specific inhibitor of CXCL8. This study is configured to explore the safety and efficacy of repertaxin in preventing the primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation.
