Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

HYPOTHESES Discharge on the same day after uncomplicated trans-radial coronary artery stenting is safe and effective. Hospitalized patients can be safely returned to the referring center the same day following trans-radial coronary artery stenting. Abciximab given as a single bolus with optimal trans-radial coronary artery stenting is as safe and effective as bolus + 12 hrs perfusion and does not hamper early discharge. Same-day discharge is cost-effective and increases patient satisfaction. OBJECTIVES AND END-POINTS The objectives of the present study are to assess the effectiveness and safety of same day hospital discharge after uncomplicated coronary artery stenting when a single bolus of Abciximab is used. The primary end-point of the study is the composite of death, myocardial infarction, repeat hospitalization, urgent revascularization, severe thrombocytopenia, access site complications and major bleedings at 30 days following stent implantation. The secondary end-point is the composite of death, myocardial infarction, repeat target vessel revascularization at 30 days, 6 months and 1 year following stent implantation. Other secondary end-points include the total hospital stay (days) between the index procedure and the first 30 days follow-up, the number of unsolicited medical visits in relation with the percutaneous procedure, index of patient satisfaction and direct and indirect costs.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic (EDTA) chelation therapy in individuals with coronary artery disease.

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Sirolimus eluting Cypher Select(TM) stent in reducing angiographic in-stent late loss in de novo native coronary lesions as compared to the TAXUS(TM) Paclitaxel-eluting stent in patients presenting with two or more coronary artery stenoses (prospective, randomized, intra-individual comparison).

The purpose of this study is to determine if cell therapy with your own cells (autologous cells) delivered with a catheter to regions of the heart with poor blood flow will be safe and if it will relieve your chest pain and/or your ability to exercise.

During a heart bypass procedure, a substance called "complement" is activated by the body. This "complement activation" causes an inflammatory response that can lead to side affects such as chest pain, heart attacks, stroke, heart failure, or death. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug (pexelizumab), that blocks "complement activation," can reduce such side effects and be given safely to patients requiring the bypass procedure with the use of the heart-lung machine.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients requiring dialysis. There are limited data on clinical characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes in this special patient population in China. As a nationwide, observational, multicenter cohort study, this study consecutively included ESRD patients on dialysis with significant CAD at 30 tertiary care centers in 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021. Patient data collected included demographics, comorbidities, cardiac history, cardiac function, location and severity of CAD, procedural information, medications, and clinical events.

This is a prospective, non-randomized, single center clinical trial to assess neointimal coverage on the stent or scaffold strut and apposition of SYNERGY™ and ABSORB in minimum of 12 eligible human subject at 4 month and 12 month after stent or scaffold implantation using OCT and CAS

The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective, multi-center, single arm, non-randomized evaluation of acute outcomes in Chinese subjects, including those eligible for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with a reference vessel diameter of 2.25 mm to 4.0 mm, with the Medtronic Resolute Integrity™ Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System.

The OPTICO-ACS- study program - combining for the first time in vivo characterization of the ACS-causing "culprit lesion" by intracoronary imaging technique with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and molecular analysis of immune-cells derived from the culprit coronary thrombus and biochemical analyses in patients with acute-coronary-syndrome (ACS).

Randomized clinical trial to compare radial artery patency after transradial coronary catheterization using 2 different hemostasis techniques. Patients submitted to diagnostic or therapeutic coronary catheterization will be prospectively enrolled in this single-center trial and will be randomized to radial hemostasis with TerumoBand® or a standardized compressive dressing with gauze and elastic bandage.
