Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

In this COMPLETE randomized trial, using the contemporary second-generation drug-eluting stent, we aimed to test whether the crush technique is superior to the culotte technique for the treatment of bifurcation lesions in terms of 1-year target-lesion failure.

This is a prospective, single-center clinical trial. AccuFFRangio (ArteryFlow Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou, China) is a novel method for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis by computing the pressure in the vessel based on angiographic images. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performance and prognostic ability of AccuFFRangio for non-IRA in NSTE-ACS patients.

The goal of this double-blind randomized controlled trial is to determine if combination therapy of statin and low-dose colchicine - compared with statin alone - favorably modulates progression and composition of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in individuals with high polygenic risk for coronary artery disease.

Single-stent strategy with provisional approach represents the gold standard for percutaneous coronary intervention of bifurcation lesions, and, according to European Bifurcation Club, performing provisional approach presents two steps considered as mandatory: "crossover stenting" in main vessel (MV) and subsequent post-dilation or "POT" (proximal optimization technique). While consensus exists regarding these first two steps, the exact optimal following sequence in case of side branch (SB) jeopardize after main vessel stenting is still a matter of debate. Actually, the two most used techniques in this setting are represented by the simultaneous inflation of two balloons located respectively in the MV and SB followed by a second POT (POT/kissing balloon/POT technique) and the isolated inflation of a balloon placed in the SB followed by a second POT (POT/SIDE/POT technique). The objective of this study is to compare the configuration achieved with POT/KISS/POT (PKP) and POT/SIDE/POT (PSP), using the "cutting edge" high-resolution intracoronary imaging modality (Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT).

This study evaluates the short-term and long-term patency of the radial artery and the No-touch vein in patients undergoing isolated on-pump/off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. A total of at least 774 patients undergoing isolated on-pump/off-pump CABG will be consecutively recruited from Fuwai Hospital and randomly assigned to receive radial artery or No-touch saphenous vein as their second graft. All participants will be invited for clinical follow-up and 64-slice multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) analysis at 3 months and 12 months post-operatively.

Atherosclerosis, a condition in which fatty deposits of plaque build up along the inner walls of arteries, is a condition that may increase the risk of having a heart attack. Previous studies have shown that the presence of a specific kind of plaque, known as vulnerable plaque, is often found in people who have had a heart attack. This study will use a new imaging technique called optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) to examine the presence of vulnerable plaques in people with coronary artery disease.

Factorial 2x2, all-comer, multicentre, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (ratio 1:1:1:1). First, the study will compare (first randomization) the non-inferiority in target lesion failure of angiolite stent versus Xience stent family. Immediately after the first randomization, the study compares (second randomization) the superiority in bleeding Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 2, 3, or 5 of abbreviated DAPT versus standard of care. Both primary endpoints will be evaluated at 12 months of follow-up. The study will be patient-observer blinded (participant and investigator doing follow-ups) for the stent type and open-label for the antiplatelet regimen.

The primary purpose of the study was to determine whether the 2-year probability of major adverse cardiac events (primary composite outcome) differed significantly between patients who underwent angiography-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(PCI) and those who underwent Fractional Flow Reserve(FFR)-guided PCI in patients with Left Main Coronary Artery disease(LMCA).

the study will assess the impact of intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on myocardial performance by investigating the left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function and right ventricular (RV) fraction area change (which reflect RV systolic function) using two-dimensional trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients undergoing elective first-time isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting. LV Systolic function will be measured by the TEE via the fractional area change, fraction shortening, and ejection fraction.

Recently, a novel distal transradial, through anatomical snuffbox, approach has been proposed for undertaking percutaneous coronary angiography and interventions. The existing literature has evaluated distal transradial access (dTRA) as a feasible and safe approach, with faster hemostasis, lower rates of periprocedural complications and reduced incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Aim of the present study is to compare dTRA versus conventional TRA access in patients with STEMI undergoing coronary angiography and interventions regarding peri- and post-procedural characteristics.
