Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

The NeoVas First-in-Man study is a prospective, two centers, single arm trial, which will enroll a total of 30 patients. The hypothesis of this study is to evaluate clinical feasibility, safety, and efficacy of NeoVas sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable coronary scaffold in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary lesion.

meriT-V is a Prospective,active control open lable clinical trial to compare safety & efficacy of BioMime Sirolimus stent Vs. Xience family of Everolimus stent by random assignment for treatment of coronary artery disease at multiple multinational centres.

The study is designed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the CardioSond digital electronic stethoscope in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with and without known disease who are referred to cardiac computed tomography angiography (CT scans).

Sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has been proven to improve outcomes in patients with significant coronary artery diseae(> 70% lumen diameter narrowing). But, acute coronary syndrome may occur in those with intermediate lesions(50%-70% lumen diameter narrowing), and the effect of SES in these patients remains unclear. Here the investigators hypothesize that application of China-made SES may improve the clinical outcomes in these setting.

Patients with stable coronary disease when undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention may present periprocedural myocardial infarction defined at present as a creatine kinase-myocardial isoenzyme (CK-MB) elevation 3 times upper limit of normal, as a cut off for periprocedural myocardial infarction after PCI. Although percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with low rates of complications, periprocedural myocardial infarction has been touted as a negative factor in long-term clinical results . Several clinical, anatomical and technical associate to the occurrence of this event . Although randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews to statin pre intervention have targeted the administration of high-dose statin is recommended before surgery to reduce the risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction, there is no information on the impact of the maximum concentration plasma of statin at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention in stable patients on chronic statin use in preventing periprocedural myocardial infarction or the elevation of cardiac enzymes . The anti-ischemic effect of statins in percutaneous coronary intervention was mainly determined in statin -naïve patients or in patients with acute coronary syndromes . In this work , we studied the impact of the peak plasma concentration of statin at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention was studied through prospective randomized single center in stable patients with chronic statin divided into two groups . In the group (1) Experimental (n = 268 ) was administered at a dose of 40 mg rosuvastatin between one and six hours before surgery and group (2) control without rosuvastatin (n = 268). This range 1 to 6 hours is the time at the peak concentration of rosuvastatin in the blood after oral ingestion. The primary objective was to assess the incidence of periprocedural myocardial infarction by creatine kinase above three times upper normal limit in hospital period and as a secondary objective to analyze the elevation of any amount of creatine kinase on the baseline.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the supplementation with extra virgin of coconut oil combined with a nutritional counseling in reducing anthropometry and improves the lipid profile in patients with chronic coronary disease.

BIOSOLVE-II is a prospective, international, multicenter, First in Man study. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and clinical performance of the drug eluting absorbable metal scaffold (DREAMS 2nd Generation).

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of omega 3 supplementation and its concurrent supplementation with vitamin E on the serum levels of antioxidant enzymes and the expressions of the PGC-1a, h TERT, FOXO1, FOXO3a , SIRT1,SIRT3, SIRT6 genes in PBMC cells in the patients with coronary artery disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of DESyne in Routine Clinical Practice

Statin interference has been suggested among the mechanisms of reduction of the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamic effects of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on platelet reactivity in patients with coronary artery disease undergone double antiplatelet therapy with new P2Y12 inhibitors. This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, crossover study conducted in the Department of Heart and Great Vessels "Attilio Reale", Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. All consecutive patients undergone PTCA in our institution in the period between July 2013 and December 2013 will be eligible to be enrolled. Patients will be offered to participate to the trial at time of 1-month post-angioplasty follow-up visit.patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (prasugrel 10 mg or brilique 90 mg x 2 plus aspirin 100 mg) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were randomly assigned to rosuvastatin (20 mg day) or atorvastatin (40 mg day) for 30 days. After 1-week wash-out period to avoid any carryover effect, cross-over was performed, and patients were switched to the other drug which was continued for 30 days. Platelet function will be evaluated using a validated method: the VerifyNow System (Accumetrics Inc., San Diego, CA), which is a point-of-care turbidimetry-based optical detection system that measures platelet-induced aggregation. Platelet function will be measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12 test at baseline and after 30 days from rosuvastatin or atorvastatin administration. Platelet reactivity will be expressed in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU). PRU values >208 are suggestive of high platelet reactivity.
