Active clinical trials for "Angina Pectoris"

This is a multicentric randomized comparison between paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty or paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation in patients with stable or unstable angina with the evaluation of restenosis by Quantitative Coronary Analysis.

This randomized trial will assess the efficacy of Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to Bare Metal Stent (BMS) using Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) guidance for de novo coronary artery lesions in patients unable to tolerate dual antiplatelet therapy and at high risk of bleeding. Patients will be randomized after balloon angioplasty to receive either DCB or BMS. Endpoints are late luminal loss at 9 months, and major adverse cardiac events including arterial thrombosis at 1, 9 and 12 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite depending on the strategy of the drug administration in patients with unstable angina pectoris.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Orsiro Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of subjects with up to three native de novo or restenotic (standard PTCA only) coronary artery lesions compared to the Xience coronary stent system.

The aim of this study was to explore whether lacidipine at doses of 2 mg, 4 mg and 6 mg decreased the symptoms of angina, compared to placebo in patients with chronic stable angina

This study evaluates the addition of heparin to a 2-week cycle of physical rehabilitation in the treatment of refractory angina. Half of the patients will undergo heparin-primed physical rehabilitation, while the other half will undergo only physical rehabilitation.

Therapeutic neovascularization is an innovative strategy for cardiac tissue recovery due to chronic, intense ischemia. Thus stem cell therapy has become a promising procedure for the large number of patients with refractory angina due to coronary disease, despite of the use of multiple anti-angina medications, remain severely symptomatic with disabling angina. Stem cell therapy using autologous cells from the patient's bone marrow, has been shown to be safe and associated with improved myocardial perfusion, reducing the symptoms of advanced coronary artery disease and increasing the functional capacity of patients whose therapeutic armamentarium available today has been exhausted. The study hypothesis was that the infusion of autologous mononuclear cells derived from the patient's bone marrow and delivered via intramyocardial injection in patients with refractory angina and normal or slightly depressed ventricular function, promote improvement in the anginal symptoms and myocardial perfusion by the inducing neoangiogenesis.

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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Danhong Injection on the relief of angina with the use of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire among patients with stable angina patients

The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity. However, the first generation of these devices had no positive impact on the mortality after PCI (compared to bare metal stents), which was greatly attributed to a somewhat increased incidence of late and very late stent thrombosis. Concerns about the role of durable polymers as a potential trigger of inflammation and finally adverse events also led to the development of DES with biodegradable coatings, which leave after degradation of the coating only a bare metal stent in the vessel wall that does not induce an inflammatory response. While such biodegradable polymer DES are increasingly used in clinical practice, there is no data available from head-to-head comparisons between biodegradable and contemporary third generation durable polymer DES.
