Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the usability and safety of the Opsens OptoWire and Optomonitor in measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) in patients with coronary artery disease who are undergoing a coronary angiogram.
Coronary artery bifurcation lesions prone to occur with the worsening of atherosclerosis. Their structural properties make angioplasty technique to increase the difficulty of implementation, but also increased the risks of the in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Standard treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions remains controversial manner, especially when the side branch (SB) was large combined with high angulated bifurcation lesions. Complex procedures and certain types of lesions are associated with poor prognosis. There is no standard treatment for such lesions even with the development of drug-eluting stents solve partial problems. The investigators reviewed patients who received coronary intervention between 2009-2012 years and met the inclusion criteria, and then analyzed the prognostic relevance of these cases the use of different treatment modalities. We introduced a retrospective analysis for high angulated bifurcation lesions treated with either DES or BMS. Primary endpoint: cardiovascular mortality, TLR, MACE. secondary endpoint: procedure time, fluoroscopy time, procedure success, angiographic success.
The UNICORN consists of two collaborating biobanks, one in Utrecht and one in Singapore. From these two sites we include all patients who undergo a coronary catheterization for any reason. At the moment of catheterization we draw blood, which will be stored in a biobank and we collect clinical characteristics. Patients are followed-up for 5 years for the occurrence of major cardiovascular events. By including from two sites in the world we include 4 major ethnic groups: Caucasians, Chinese, Indians and Malays. We aim at including at least 2000 patients per ethnic group. Our hypothesis is that there are differences in the risk factor burden, clinical presentation of CAD, and biochemical patterns in the blood among the ethnic groups. Furthermore, this biobank offers a platform for multi-ethnic biomarker discovery.
We aimed to evaluate feasibility and the 6-month angiographic and OCT results of FFR - guided use of paclitaxel-eluting balloons (Sequent Please™, B Braun) with provisional bare metal stenting for elective PCI of de novo coronary lesions.
The main objective of the SENIOR study is to establish the efficacy and safety of the everolimus eluting stent with a biodegradable abluminal polymer (SYNERGY II) associated with a short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients ≥75 years old, suffering from stable angina, silent ischemia (1 month DAPT) or acute coronary syndromes (6 months DAPT) related to significant coronary artery disease and requiring percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary end point is to demonstrate that SYNERGY II in patients ≥75 years old is associated with a lower rate of the composite rate of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization) and a similar risk of stent thrombosis than bare metal stent at one year.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of vitamin E on preventing from incidence of contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in the patients who undergone coronary angiography.
In this study the investigators will use careful scientific blinding of patient and their subsequent healthcare staff so that the investigators can determine exactly how much difference coronary angioplasty makes to symptoms and blood supply to the heart. After the 6 weeks blinded phase, all patients will be unblinded and the patients who had undergone sham procedure will be offered the active therapy.
Objectives: To determine the efficacy of low rate fluoroscopy at 7.5 frames per second (FPS) vs. conventional 15 FPS for reduction of operator and patient radiation dose during diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the transradial approach. Background: Transradial approach for cardiac catheterization is potentially associated with increased radiation exposure. Low rate fluoroscopy has potential to reduce radiation exposure.
In coronary artery bypass grafting, saphenous veins are widely used as a composite grafts that are Y-anastomosed to in-situ left internal thoracic artery. Based on our observation that remodeling of saphenous vein graft differs between those harvested from upper leg vein and lower leg, this study aims to compare histologic and immunohistochemical findings between saphenous vein grafts harvested from upper leg and lower leg.
The objective of this trial is to compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of 2 therapeutic strategies, one based on coronary angiography guidance and the other based on coronary angiography with fractional flow reserve (FFR) in multivessel coronary artery disease patients. The trial is a prospective, multicenter, French, randomized clinical trial including men and women ≥ 18 years presenting with significant multivessel disease defined by coronary angiography as coronary narrowing > 50% diameter stenosis in at least 2 major epicardic vessels. The patients who give their informed consent will be randomly assigned to a therapeutic strategy based upon coronary angiography or angiography with FFR testing. In the FFR group, a significant coronary stenosis will be defined by a FFR ≤ 0.8. Based upon this multivessel evaluation (angiography or FFR), the investigator will choose the best therapeutic strategy to his discretion (medical optimal treatment, coronary stenting, coronary artery bypass graft surgery). The aim of revascularization procedures will be to obtain complete revascularization. In the FFR group, only stenosis with FFR≤0.8 will be treated. The primary end point of the trial is a composite of major cardiovascular events including death from any cause, myocardial infarction, any hospitalization for coronary revascularization performed in addition to initial treatment and stroke at 1 year of follow-up. Secondary end points will include adverse events, individual major cardiovascular events, stent thrombosis, bleeding events, occlusion of coronary artery bypass graft, patient's quality of life and cost-effectiveness and 30-day, 6 month, 2-year and 5-year outcomes.
