Filter by:Ticagrelor therapy has been shown to reduce the rates of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality compared to clopidogrel therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The benefit of this study would be to demonstrate that ticagrelor therapy is associated with equivalent platelet inhibition irrespective of the disease status in patients undergoing PCI.
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.
Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with a residual high platelet reactivity despite oral clopidogrel are at increased risk of ischaemic complications. The strategies to overcome the issue consist of switch to a more potent antiplatelet medications including prasugrel or ticagrelor. Economic constrains of many countries still do not allow wide reimbursement of newer antiplatelet agents. Therefore a strategy to personalise treatment according to genotype and phenotype characteristics of the patient may provide an attractive solution combining high clinical efficacy with low budget impact.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety, at 24 months, of the TITAN2 stent to any bare-metal stent (BMS) in Cobalt-Chromium in a population presenting an indication for these stents among 40% of which present an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
A randomised open-label pilot study to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with a drug eluting balloon alone in coronary de novo lesions). Elective patients requiring PCI to coronary de novo lesions in vessels 2.5 mm - 4.0 mm.
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.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) after the stent procedure to improve the adhesion and expansion, or incomplete uncovered struts attached to the main track. OCT in clinical areas by improving the parameters of the best stent will be useful. However, for better results for optical coherence tomography in percutaneous interventions have little useful data on the role. Randomized controlled study of the traditional percutaneous coronary intervention and intervention using optical coherence tomography.
The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, open label, parallel arm study whether the newest 3rd generation stent - Orsiro hybrid sirolimus-eluting stent is noninferior to the newest 2nd generation stent - Resolute Integrity zotarolimus-eluting stent in terms of 9 months in-stent late lumen loss. 345 Korean patients with a wide variety of coronary heart disease will be enrolled to this "all-comers" trial to give definite answer to the above hypothesis that is urgently needed.
Despite several large clinical trials clearly establishing that coronary revascularization (i.e. percutaneous coronary intervention - PCI) does not prolong survival or prevent myocardial infarction (MI) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with stable angina continue to believe that PCI is performed to improve these outcomes. Additionally, recent concerns have emerged of overuse of PCI among patients with little or no angina. Thus there is a compelling need to share with patients the risks and benefits of PCI prior to treatment to reach an informed decision. This study is designed to answer the question of whether a decision aid can improve patient knowledge, decisional conflict and patient satisfaction with decision-making compared to usual care for the treatment of stable angina.
