Intraventricular HemorrhageSubarachnoid HemorrhageThe primary goal of this study is to assess the occurrence of flushing interventions to address occlusions during the treatment of interventricular hemorrhage (spontaneous primary IVH or secondary IVH due to ruptured aneurysm).
International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial II
Intracranial Hemorrhage Ruptured AneurysmThe purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcome of surgical clipping and endovascular coiling for ruptured intracranial aneurysms not included in the original ISAT Study.
DTI-guided Minimally Invasive Hematoma Evacuation for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Stroke HemorrhagicIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease with high early mortality, unfavorable neurological outcomes, and high cost of care. To date, the role of DTI-guided minimally invasive hematoma evacuation in ICH is still uncertain. The investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial, as well as a concurrent prospective observational study including all ICH patients who decline participation in the trial and will therefore receive minimally invasive hematoma evacuation or best medical therapy and consent to be followed up. All participants will be followed up at the same time using the same outcomes measures. The primary outcome will be collected by a blinded assessor.
Panretinal Photocoagulation During Vitrectomy for Diabetic Vitreous Hemorrhage
Diabetic Vitreous HemorrhageIn this randomized clinical trial, the authors compare two cohorts receiving different endolaser spot amounts with similar laser settings in PDR subjects naïve to PRP undergoing PPV for the indication of VH.
SAHaRA: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Subarachnoid HemorrhageAneurysmalThe SAHaRA trial will clarify the role of treating anemia with Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion in a unique and vulnerable patient population, and determine whether that impacts on functional outcomes and mortality. It will guide best practice standards and clarify the optimal RBC transfusion strategy in patients with aSAH.
Vitrectomy, Subretinal Tissue Plasminogen Activator (TPA) and Intravitreal Gas for Submacular Haemorrhage...
Eye DiseasesMacular Degeneration2 moreThe centre of the retina (macula) at the back of the eye contains cells that give us our central vision that we use for reading and recognising faces. These cells can be damaged by a disease called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), where new abnormal blood vessels grow through the macula and leak fluid. This can affect vision. In some cases, wet AMD can also cause a bleed under the macula, known as a submacular haemorrhage (SMH), which can lead to marked and persistent loss of vision in the eye. The current standard treatment for wet AMD is to give injections containing 'anti-VEGF' drugs into the eye. Anti-VEGF drugs reduce the leakage of fluid so that the macula can become dry again and sight can improve. Anti-VEGFs are also the current standard of care for SMH, mainly because there is no licensed treatment for the SMH itself (patients with SMH were excluded from most wet AMD studies). The purpose of this study therefore is to compare two treatments: Standard treatment for wet AMD (anti-VEGF injections). Standard treatment above plus surgery. This study will find out if having surgery alongside anti-VEGF injections can improve vision further over the current standard treatment of anti-VEGF injections alone.
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Inhaled Tranexamic Acid for the Treatment of Pulmonary Hemorrhage...
Pulmonary HemorrhageCancerThis is a drug study that will examine if inhaled tranexamic acid can improve mortality in patients with cancer-related pulmonary hemorrhage and respiratory failure as compared to usual care.
Radial vs. State-Of-The-Art Femoral Access for Bleeding and Access Site Complication Reduction in...
Patient SatisfactionVascular Access ComplicationThis is a phase IV, prospective, open label, randomized-controlled study that will compare radial access with state-of-the-art femoral access in patients without ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing cardiac catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups: radial access and state-of-the-art femoral access. Randomization will be performed in blocks of 50 per site. Similarly, a second sub-randomization will be performed in the femoral access group into use of 18 vs 21 gauge needles, also in a 1:1 fashion.
Ultra-Early, Minimally inVAsive intraCerebral Haemorrhage evacUATion Versus Standard trEatment
Intra Cerebral HemorrhageStrokeA randomized controlled trial of ultra-early, minimally invasive, hematoma evacuation versus standard care within 8 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients presenting to the emergency department with stroke due to supratentorial, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage >20mL volume will be assessed to determine their eligibility for randomization into the trial. If the patient gives informed consent they will be randomized 50:50 using central computerized allocation to minimally invasive hematoma evacuation using the Aurora surgiscope and evacuator (Integra Lifesciences) versus standard medical therapy. The trial is prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) design with seamless phase 2b-3 transition if the intermediate endpoint (successful hematoma evacuation) is met in analysis of the first 52 patients. Adaptive sample size re-estimation (Mehta and Pocock) will be performed when 160 patients have completed 6 month follow-up (minimum sample size 240, maximum sample size 434).
Drug-Coated Balloon in Anticoagulated and Bleeding Risk Patients Undergoing PCI
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to compare DCB with DES in stable CAD or ACS patients who are at high risk of bleeding. The hypothesis of the DEBATE trial is that the strategy using DCB and a shorter DAPT regimen is non-inferior to the treatment using DES and longer DAPT duration on patients with high bleeding risk. If non-inferiority is shown, the superiority of the DCB strategy over DES strategy will be tested.
