Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Preliminary experiences suggest that intermittent anticoagulation guided by continuous electrocardiographic monitoring can reduce the incidence of bleeding in patients with episodes of atrial fibrillation. Uncertainty about the potential implications of a strategy of intermittent anticoagulation after percutaneous coronary intervention exists. The investigators will perform a case-control study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation on demand in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after percutaneous coronary intervention.

The goal of the study is to assess the prevalence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury in patients with stable coronary artery disease, ST-elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina/NSTEMI, assess the risk factors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury development and the influence of contrast-induced kidney injury on 1-year prognosis.

The study aims at pooling a large population of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) and who were adequately stratified in the first place. Then the investigators will be able to assess the incremental value of CTCA in the stratification of prevalence of disease (non obstructive/obstructive) and prognosis of patients with suspected CAD). The added information to current evidence is how reliable and to what extent CTCA can define the actual burden of disease and cardiovascular risk.

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of the OSFITTM drug-eluting stent designed to facilitate procedures in coronary artery lesions. Additionally, the study aims to verify the accuracy of stent placement in the lesion of interest using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) among subgroups of participants. The primary endpoint was defined as the composite of target lesion failure (TLF) at the 12-month mark, including cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization.

In real-world practice, the investigators plan to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using the GENOSS (GENOSS DES II) stent, which has a biodegradable polymer only on the inner wall of the blood vessel, for patients(all-comers) with coronary artery disease who require percutaneous coronary intervention through stent insertion.

Stress is highly prevalent in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and is associated with lower health-related quality of life and worsened cardiovascular outcome. The importance of stress management is now recognized in recent cardiovascular guidelines. However, effective stress management intervention are not implemented in clinical routine yet. The development of easily disseminated eHealth interventions, particularly mHealth, may offer a cost-effective and scalable solution to this problem. The aim of the proposed trial is to assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the mHealth intervention 'mindfulHeart' in terms of reducing stress in patients with IHD.

Prospective, multi-center, open-label single-arm study designed to enroll 85 patients in up to 15 centers in up to 3 European countries. All patients will be followed up for 9 months. The "BMX Alpha Registry" study will serve as reference and historic comparator.

Depression after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) but also at any time after CAD diagnosis, is highly associated with death, and it predicts mortality more than any other risk factor, comorbidity or follow-up events, suggesting that the standard medical therapy may not be sufficient to prevent the poor prognosis in these patients. This study aims to assess whether depression might affect the response to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as recommended in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Specific aims: to evaluate whether depression affects the antithrombotic response during Aspirin (ASA) plus clopidogrel (CLP) therapy in CAD patients. to assess the antithrombotic effects of ASA plus ticagrelor or prasugrel (TCG/PSG) therapy in CAD patients with depression by evaluating pro-thrombotic phenotype in CAD patients with and without depression during ASA+TCG/PSG. to assess whether there is or not the reactivation of pro-thrombotic profile after cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy in CAD patients with or without depression in single antiplatelet therapy after TCG/PSG cessation.

MulTicenter rEgiStry on RoboticalLy Assisted percutaneous coronary interventions- TESLA registry is a retrospective registry evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotically assisted PCI with the CorPath GRX System (Corindus Vascular, Siemens Healthineers, Germany) in real-world interventional cardiology practice.

The purpose of this study is (1) to determine whether 24-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is superior to 12-month DAPT after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) with respect to major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) in patients with elevated lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)] levels (>30mg/dL); (2) to determine whether 24-month DAPT is non-inferior to 12-month DAPT after PCI with DES with respect to net adverse clinical events (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke or Bleeding Academic Research Consortium [BARC] type 3 or 5 bleeding) in patients with elevated Lp(a) levels (>30mg/dL).
