Sapphire II PRO US Clinical Study
Coronary Artery DiseaseCoronary Disease4 moreA prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and device procedural success of the Sapphire II PRO 1.0 and 1.25 mm PTCA dilatation catheters in subjects with stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts during percutaneous coronary intervention. Sixty (60) subjects will be treated at up to 5 U.S. sites with the Sapphire II PRO diameters 1.0 and 1.25 mm PTCA dilatation catheters to pre-dilate coronary arteries or bypass grafts during their index procedure. All subjects will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be followed through hospital discharge.

Rituximab in Patients With Acute ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Study
Ischemic Heart DiseaseMyocardial Infarction1 moreRITA-MI aims to develop of a novel therapeutic concept to target the immune response in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) by depleting B-cells with a single injection of Rituximab which is approved for clinical use in cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory conditions. The goal is to re-purpose the drug, and translate the discovery into benefit for patients at high risk of cardiovascular events. Rituximab is expected to limit infarction size and improve the healing process, as complementary to other therapeutic strategies. The applicants intend to perform a clinical study in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The objective is to find the optimal dose (lowest dose with highest biological efficacy and best safety profile) for peripheral blood B cell depletion during the first 6 days after injection, and selective molecular signatures associated with improved heart function through analysis of peripheral blood samples. The study rationale is to decrease the inflammatory reaction upon tissue necrosis following heart muscle ischemia.

Side Branch FFR After Provisional Stenting
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to predict any changes in the side branch after stenting the main branch blood vessel using three dimensional intravascular images. (Frequency domain optical coherence tomography FD OCT). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an established medical imaging technique that uses light to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of blood vessels. These images will be used before and after implanting the stent in the main blood vessel. Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) test, which makes it possible for the interventional cardiologist to calculate blood flow across an area of a coronary artery, will be done after stenting and will help to determine if there are any changes in the side branch blood flow.

ST-elevation Myocardial InfarctionMultivessel Coronary DiseaseThe primary objective of the trial is to compare, in patients presenting with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multi-vessel disease (MVD), the safety and efficacy of immediate complete revascularization of all significant coronary lesions versus culprit vessel only revascularization and staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of all significant coronary lesions (within 19 to 45 days), in a non-inferiority trial using a third generation, biodegradable-polymer, everolimus-eluting stent.

Effect of Rosuvastatin and Eicosapentaenoic Acid on Neoatherosclerosis: The LINK-IT Trial
Coronary Artery Disease ProgressionThis study aim to evaluate whether intensive lipid lowering therapy may improve the clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease patients with in-stent neoatherosclerosis, in comparison with standard therapy.

Effects of DPP4 Inhibitor Versus SGLT2 Inhibitor
Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreType 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) is an important disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. More than 60% of diabetes patients die of CVD. Diabetes is associated with 2-to 4- fold increase in the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Diabetes patients with stable ischemic heart disease may have more prevalent of asymptomatic ischemia or silent ischemia due to autonomic neuropathy. Therefore, detection of total myocardial ischemia including both symptomatic and silent ischemia using ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring may provide better accuracy in ischemic burden and prognosis in diabetes patients. DDP-4 inhibitors have favorable effects on atherosclerotic risk factors beyond glycemic control. Furthermore, DPP-4 inhibitors may have favorable effects on ischemic preconditioning in patients with CAD. For this study we aim to compare the effects of between vildagliptin and Dapagliflozin on ischemic burden defined by total ischemic time, markers of autonomic function, biomarkers of myocardial injury and biomarkers of inflammation.
