Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Edoxaban with the combination of edoxaban and antiplatelet in patients with stable CAD (coronary artery stenosis ≥50% on medical treatment or revascularized stable CAD [≥ 12 months for acute coronary syndrome and ≥ 6 months after stable CAD]) and high-risk atrial fibrillation (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Genoss® DCB by demonstrating non-inferiority in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) compared with a product of the same category (Sequent® Please NEO). The experimental group was treated with Genoss® DCB, and the control group was treated with SeQuent® Please NEO. In this study, the end point of 9 months after procedure was used as the main endpoint to evaluate the efficacy of Paclitaxel coated PTCA balloon catheter. The safety of the catheter was evaluated by cardiovascular adverse events.

The introduction of Bare-metal stents (BMS) since 1986 has alleviated the limitations of plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) related elastic recoil and flow-limiting dissections. Later on, higher restenosis rates due to exaggerated neointimal growth in BMS has led to the development of drug-eluting stents (DES), which elutes an antiproliferative drug to the vessel wall and reduce the restenosis rate. However, late stent thrombosis and restenosis, with a hazard of nearly 2% per year after implantation, remained a concern and motivated the development of drug-coated balloons (DCB). The advantages of DCB are that leaving no metal in the blood vessel and respect the vessel anatomy. Recently, studies with the strategy of DCB angioplasty with bailout stenting have demonstrated safety and efficacy for the small-vessel disease. In the BASKET-SMALL 2 trial, which compared SeQuent Please DCB with EES or Taxus DES in the vessels that have reference diameter<3mm, showed that at 12-month follow-up, DCB was non-inferior to DES (MACE [cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target-vessel revascularisation] rates: 8% vs. 9%). Although some small-scale RCT using surrogate endpoints have reported that no significant difference in MLD or late lumen loss between the two groups in large vessels, up to now, there is no large-scale RCT comparing the clinical outcomes of DCB versus DES in large vessels with de novo lesions. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that in patients undergoing non-complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for de-novo stenoses, drug-coated balloon (DCB) is non-inferior to drug-eluting stents (DES). Besides the ischemic events to be observed, there might be also a potential benefit of the DCB strategy by reducing the bleeding events. Although there is scarce evidence showing the optimal DAPT duration for DCB, in the current study, according to our empirical clinical experiences and previous expert consensus, the investigators chose aspirin + Ticagrelor/Clopidogrel for 3-month followed by Ticagrelor/Clopidogrel monotherapy for 3-month to be the antiplatelet regimen in DCB arm. In contrast to the antiplatelet regimen for the DES arm used in the current trial, which is aspirin + Ticagrelor/Clopidogrel for 3-month followed by Ticagrelor/Clopidogrel monotherapy for 9-month, the DCB and its antiplatelet strategy is estimated to reduce the bleeding events during follow-up.

To evaluate benefits of primary prevention of major coronary heart disease for asymptomatic coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus based on the coronary artery calcium score Our proposal Based on CAC score, primary early prevention could reduce incidence of major coronary heart disease (CHD) including cardiac mortality, acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization based on CAC score, primary early prevention could reduce all cause mortality, cardiac mortality, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, ischemic stroke, heart failure associated hospitalization and chronic kidney disease and related clinical cost effect

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel Paclitaxel-coated balloon (Genoss® DCB) by demonstrating non-inferiority to in-lesion late lumen loss at 6 months after the procedure in Korean patients with coronary de novo lesions compared with a product of the same category (SeQuent® Please NEO).

MINT: A pilot, multi-centre, open-label randomized controlled trial of two commonly used transfusion strategies in patients with myocardial infarction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of reducing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration to 1 month after implantation of the everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent (CoCr-EES).

To compare treatment with Aspirin Protect® twice a day (100 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening) versus Aspirin Protect® 100 mg once per day on a composite end-point of ischemic events in diabetic patients, or in patients with a known risk factor for non-optimal aspirin response (obesity, abdominal obesity or coronary event occurring with long-term aspirin),with acute coronary syndrome. It is expected that aspirin taken twice a day will reduce the occurrence of new ischemic event after acute coronary syndrome in diabetic patients or in patients with a known risk factor.

The goal of this study is to determine if a remote cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program delivered via a smartphone application and regular telephone calls will lead to improved delivery of cardiac rehabilitation compared to usual care. This includes increased adherence for eligible veterans, increased program completion, improved patient outcomes as measured by functional capacity, improved patient compliance in monitoring symptoms, improved self-efficacy and knowledge in managing disease and, a decreased rate of hospitalization and re-admissions.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the long term safety and effectiveness of the Carpentier-Edwards® PERIMOUNT Magna Mitral Valves in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement with or without concomitant procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.
