Filter by:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ALEX stent in a real-world setting of percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with coronary heart disease.
The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy performances of CRE8 Drug Eluting Stent, in patients comparable to the everyday's clinical practice population, with a specific focus on diabetics, that will be part of a pre-specified study subgroup.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of Cre8 (CID) Drug Eluting Stent, studied 3 months after implant, compared to Vision/Multilink8 Bare Metal Stent (Abbott) studied at 1 month, in terms of neointimal coverage, determined by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), as percentage of cross-sections with RUTTS (Ratio of Uncovered to Total Stent Struts Per Cross Section) score ≤ 0.3.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Drug-Eluting Balloon first and then bare metal stent compared with drug-eluting stent for treatment of de novo lesions (DEB first).
The purpose this study is to assess whether a tirofiban regimen of a high-dose bolus plus a shortened infusion duration compared to label-dosing eptifibatide in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a non-inferior composite rate of death, PCI-related myocardial infarction, urgent target vessel revascularization or in-hospital major bleeding within 48 hours following PCI or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
The primary aim of this study is to increase our understanding of care-seeking behavior surrounding heart attacks or acute coronary syndromes [ACS]. This study uses an internet based survey to ask individuals how they obtained medical care in the midst of a heart attack. At present, care-seeking delay among individuals stricken with a heart attack prevents them from obtaining the full therapeutic benefit of hospital based medical care in a timely manner to reduce the long term health consequences of a heart attack. By using a self-tailoring survey instrument the study attempts to take into consideration the complex social processes by which the individual and their family make decisions to seek medical care for symptoms of a heart attack. The study is designed to obtain a national sample of ACS care-seeking behavior in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in terms of safety and efficacy of DES Limus Carbostent compared to the Taxus Liberté in treating de-novo atherosclerotic lesions in native coronary arteries.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effects of sodium bicarbonate to normal saline when used for clearing mucus blockage in patients with airway stents.
Accurate detection of a heart attack (an acute myocardial infarction) is one of the most pressing needs in medicine. Recordings of the electrocardiogram (ECG) (electrical activity of the heart) are one of the first tools used to diagnose a heart attack, but the ECG is not very accurate, especially at the beginning of a heart attack. A new technique for analysing a special part of the ECG may provide more accurate detection of a heart attack. The study hypothesis is that this new technique, the HFQRS analysis, will provide important additional information to that available from the regular ECG.
The aim of this international study is to describe the short- and long-term (i.e. up to 2 years following the index event) antithrombotic management patterns (AMPs) in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS)), and to document the impact of AMPs in clinical outcomes, economic variables and quality of life in a 'real-life' setting and to compare these between sites, countries and regions.
