Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial in asymptomatic individuals with risk factors for cardiovascular disease is to investigate whether a preventive treatment strategy guided by computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) provides a patient-centered approach, which ensures optimal protection against serious cardiovascular disease. The main question it aims to answer is: Does preventive treatment guided by CTCA reduce the risk of heart attacks or cardiovascular death as compared to using conventional cardiovascular risk scores. Participants will be randomized to preventive medical therapy and/or invasive intervention guided by either CTCA (intervention group) or Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) 2 model for cardiovascular risk prediction (control group).

The purpose of this study is to test the anti-inflammatory and anti-senescence effects of quercetin during coronary artery by-pass graft surgery.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of routine FFR-guided complete revascularization with PCI compared to conservative management in patients with concomitant coronary artery disease who are undergoing TAVI.

Although current guidelines recommend fractional flow reserve (FFR) to identify haemodynamically relevant coronary lesion(s) in stable patients when evidence of ischaemia is not available (Class I, Level of Evidence: A), no published study has assessed the usefulness of FFR to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multi-vessel disease (MVD). The main objective of this study is to determine whether, in STEMI patients with MVD amenable to PCI, the use of FFR in addition to angiography will improve cardiovascular outcomes, compared with the current practice of angiography- guided PCI, by improving the appropriateness of revascularisations by assessing the relevance of non-culprit lesions in the context of STEMI with multivessel coronary artery disease. The secondary objective is to assess the safety and the cost-effectiveness of the FFR-guided strategy compared to the angiography-guided strategy.

To compare clinical safety & efficacy of fixed-high potent statin therapy (according to 2013 ACC/AHA guideline) vs. targeted LDL-C goal statin therapy (LDL<70mg/dL) for secondary prevention. Total 4400 patients with coronary artery disease patients requiring statin treatment were categorized fixed high-potent statin group and targeted LDL-C group. The investigators will compare primary endpoint (major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE)) and secondary endpoint (1. New onset diabetes mellitus after randomization, 2. Hospitalization due to heart failure, 3. Deep vein thrombosis or Pulmonary thromboembolism, 4. Percutaneous trans-luminal angioplasty on peripheral artery obstructive disease, 5. Aortic intervention or operation, 6. ESRD with renal replacement therapy).

Background: The best strategy for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multi-vessel disease, who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the infarct-related artery (IRA) in the acute phase with remaining multivessel disease, is still not well established. Current guidelines recommend PCI of only the infarct related artery (IRA). However, recent small scale randomised controlled trials indicate that full revascularization of these non-infarct related arteries during the index procedure is superior to initial conservative treatment. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), a method used to determine ischemia-inducing lesions, has been shown to be superior to angiography-guided PCI in stable angina. Objective and methods: To test the hypothesis that a strategy of systematic complete revascularization with FFR-guided PCI following STEMI/very high risk NSTEMI leads to improved clinical outcomes at one year compared to initial conservative management of non-culprit lesions. The trial is a prospective international multicentre registry-based randomized controlled trial with combined primary endpoint of all-cause mortality and non-fatal MI at one year. Key secondary endpoint is unplanned revascularization. 1545 patients with acute STEMI/very high risk NSTEMI with multi-vessel disease in Sweden, Denmark, Serbia, Finland, Latvia, Australia and New Zealand will be randomized into 2 arms: FFR-guided PCI of non-culprit lesions during index hospital admission or Initial conservative management following acute PCI of the culprit lesion(s) or Randomization and data collection in the registries - the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) and corresponding registries in other countries (or electronic data capture) - will ensure low bias, high inclusion rate and excellent follow-up of events at a low cost. Adjudication of clinical events and collection of data from other registries including death cause registries is also planned. Significance: If this study shows that FFR-guided PCI of non-culprit lesions in STEMI/very high risk NSTEMI improves clinical outcome compared to conventional management this will change practise in how we should best manage these patients. Therefore a study of this size will definitely be of great importance in determining future guidelines for this large patient group to reduce both morbidity and mortality.

To examine the treatment of coronary de-novo stenosis with a sirolimus coated balloon versus a paclitaxel coated balloon

The study is a prospective, multinational (Italy, Ireland and UK), multicenter, randomised Clinical Trial that compares the efficacy and performance of two drug coated balloon (DCB), the MAGIC TOUCH sirolimus coated balloon (Concept Medical) and SeQuent Please paclitaxel coated balloon (B Braun). The objective of the study is to compare angiographic outcomes of Magic TouchTM sirolimus coated balloon (Concept Medical) versus SeQuentTM paclitaxel coated balloon (Bbraun) for the treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions in small vessels (≤2.75 mm) with respect to Net Gain (mm) at 6 months follow-up

The objective of this clinical trial is to confirm the safety, effectiveness and performance of the DESyne BDS Plus Drug Eluting Coronary Stent System (DESyne BDS Plus DECSS) (Test) as compared to the CE Mark approved DESyne X2 Novolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (DESyne X2 NECSS; DESyne X2) (Control) in the treatment of de novo native coronary artery lesions.

The primary purpose of this proof-of-activity, phase 2 trial is to evaluate the safety and activity of orticumab in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis and cardiometabolic risk factors.
