Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Over 100,000 coronary stent procedures, where small balloons are used to stretch open a narrowed blood vessel, are performed every year in the United Kingdom to treat people who have conditions such as angina or have suffered a heart attack. For most patients the risk of complications is low, but for some, there is a higher risk of their heart failing during the procedure. Heart failure is a serious complication which can need treatment with a life support machine and lead to major damage to the heart muscle or even death. These risks are greatest in patients with severely diseased heart arteries and those who already have weakened heart muscle. A new technology may be able to help with this problem. It consists of a small heart pump which is placed in the heart's main pumping chamber (the left ventricle, LV). This pump is known as a LV unloading device. The LV unloading device is inserted into the heart through a blood vessel in the leg and supports the heart muscle. It is removed at the end of the procedure or when the heart can pump safely on its own. Whilst this heart pump is promising, it comes with some risks of its own. These include bleeding and damage to the arteries in the legs. It is also expensive, costing £8,000 per operation. Currently, there is no strong evidence to guide the use of this device. The CHIP-BCIS3 study aims to determine whether these heart pumps are beneficial and cost-effective in patients receiving a stenting procedure who are at high-risk of complications.

A single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point clinical trial of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) guidance strategy impact on clinical outcomes in multivessel acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

A Prospective Randomized, Multi-center, International, Single-blind, Clinical trial compared the Selution DEB strategy versus DES strategy.

Radial artery access use in percutaneous cardiac interventions (PCI) is associated with a lower risk of vascular complications, bleeding and major adverse cardiac events including cardiac death in the long-term follow-up. Intra-radial administration of vasodilatory drugs, transiently painful for the patient, reduces the risk of spasm and is currently the standard technique performed worldwide. However, the efficacy of intravenous administration of vasodilatory drugs has never been evaluated.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a condition known to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its role as promoter of atherosclerosis is well stablished. The revascularization surgery is commonly indicated to patients with multivessel coronary disease and kidney injury is a prevalent complication in post operation. This work aims to evaluate the impact of a strategy to control Diabetes Mellitus using inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporters (ISGLT2) in diabetics patients with assigned myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass

Coronary revascularization could be accomplished either by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is featured by minimal invasive, low complication and rapid rehabilitation. CABG is characterized by improved long-term, event-free survival attributable to the use of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft. Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) consists of LIMA bypass to left anterior coronary descending artery (LAD) by minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and PCI of other stenosed coronary arteries with DES implantation. One-step HCR entails LIMA-LAD anastomosis performed through MIDCAB, immediately followed by PCI for non-LAD lesions, sometimes for diagonal branch, in the hybrid operating room. Limited data are available in comparing one-step HCR to PCI alone for the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease(MVD). The current EAST-HCR study will investigate the efficacy and safety of one-step HCR for patients with MVD, as comparing to PCI alone.

This is a prospective and multicenter clinical investigation aiming to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of coronary intravascular lithotripsy system for the treatment of patients with coronary calcification.

In this study, a randomized controlled study based on cognitive training was conducted in patients with coronary heart disease and cognitive impairment but without dementia， to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-based digital therapy in improving the cognitive function of such patients.

This study is to compare the effects of sarpogrelate sustained release /aspirin combination therapy versus aspirin on blood viscosity in the patients with peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease

This study is a prospective, multicenter, parallel, open-label, randomized, controlled, superiority trial. It is planned to recruit 8,250 patients with multi-vessel disease(MVD), and the patients will be followed-up for 12 months after being implanted with a drug-eluting stent (DES) at one of 100 different centers. All patients will be randomly divided into the treatment group and control group on a 1:1 basis, based on a complete randomization.
