Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a high-risk surgery with significant morbidity that results in a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) at an increased cost. Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) using the FloTrac/EV1000 platform improved outcomes in these patients with shorter ICU stay but with extra cost for a FloTrac transducer. The objective of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of implementing the FloTrac/EV1000 in these patients.

The Purpose of this study is to better understand changes in obstructive coronary artery disease in different organs other than the heart such as the brain and the kidneys using a new generation total body PET scanner.

Post-market, prospective, multi-center, single-arm observational study to generate real-world clinical evidence associated with coronary IVL in a population of female subjects with calcified coronary artery disease.

Multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of Sequent Please Neo to meet EU Medical Device regulation (MDR) requirements in all the consecutive patients treated with Sequent Please Neo.

This study evaluates plaque progression and characteristics in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

The objective of this randomized study was to compare outcomes of imaging-and physiology-guided state-of-the-art Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease(CAD) with left anterior descending(LAD) involvement.

This investigational device exemption (IDE) study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System with the Shockwave C2+ 2Hz Coronary IVL Catheter to treat de novo, calcified, stenotic, coronary lesions prior to stenting.

This Phase 2a clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of increasing dose strengths of an oral daily medication, DFV890, administered for 12 weeks, or a single s.c. dose of MAS825, to reduce key markers of inflammation related to CVD risk, such as IL-6 and IL-18, in approximately 28 people with known coronary heart disease and TET2 or DNMT3A CHIP (VAF ≥2%).

Rationale and background: Surgical patients' transfusions have changed from replacing surgically lost blood with allogenic blood transfusions to implementing strategies that reduce transfusion requirements. Patient Blood Management (PBM) is designed to maintain hemoglobin concentration, optimize hemostasis, and minimize blood loss to improve patient outcomes. There is mounting evidence that multimodal PBM programs can improve postoperative outcomes and reduce perioperative blood transfusions and costs. The TULIP study in Turkey showed higher uses of blood transfusions in major surgical patients, including coronary artery surgeries in Turkey. The current studies also support the preoperative use of intravenous iron and/or vitamin B12/folic acid in major surgical patients. So, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of implantation of PBM in CABG surgeries in Turkey. Research question and objectives: Is it possible to decrease the amount of perioperative blood and blood products transfusions by implementing PBM in patients who underwent CABG surgeries? The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the reduction in perioperative RBC units transfused, when PBM is implemented in cardiac surgery in Turkey. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the concurrent reduction of FFP, platelet and total blood products used as compared to a control group, length of hospital and ICU stay following the surgery. Study design: A prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study with a historical/retrospective control group. Population: Patients who are operated on for coronary artery bypass grafting. Variables: Demographic (age, sex), clinical (body mass index, comorbidities, ASA score, P-POSSUM score, Charlson Comorbidity Index), operative (type and duration of operations), laboratory (hemoglobin, platelet count, coagulation profile), laboratory for anemia (transferrin saturation, ferritin, creatinine clearance), preoperative treatment, transfusion data, and outcome (morbidity, mortality, lengths of hospital stay). Exposures: Preoperative IV iron treatment of anemia. Data sources: Medical data of the patients are obtained after entering a prespecified database (e-CRF) for the study subjects. For the control group, the medical data of the patients will be obtained retrospectively from the database of the TULIP study. Study size: Study group: A total of 368 patients from five different centers across Turkey. Control group: at least 368 patients from the same centers attending the TULIP study. Finally, 736 patients will be included for the study.

The purpose of the COMPLEX Registry is to prospectively and retrospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural data of patients who have undergone PCI or CABG for complex and/ or calcified chronic CAD, irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. The outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups (e.g. PCI vs. CABG). The impact of current PCI techniques/ devices, but also CABG strategies in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
