Active clinical trials for "Coronary Stenosis"

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Paclitaxel-eluting PTCA-balloon catheter (3µg/mm2 balloon surface area) in the treatment of significant (≥ 70% and < 100 %) stenoses in native coronary arteries with reference diameters from 2.25 mm to 2.8 mm and ≤ 22 mm in length for procedural success and preservation of vessel patency.

A prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Study designed to evaluate the acute lumen gain and device procedural success of the DK ScoreTM Scoring balloon versus NSE Scoring Balloon for patients with coronary arteries stenosis.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the performance of MISTENT to that of XIENCE in an all-comers patient population with symptomatic ischemic heart disease. The patients will be followed through 3 years for major clinical events.

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown high long-term patency for no-touch saphenous vein grafts (NTSVGs), comparable to the internal thoracic artery in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). RCTs on patency in NTSVGs in off-pump CABG have not been published yet. Orebro University Hospital participated in the CABG Off- or On-pump Revascularization study (CORONARY, ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00463294) and included fifty-six patients. Accordingly, this is a sub-study and the aim was to assess the midterm patency in NTSVGs in clamp-less off-pump versus on-pump CABG at five-year follow-up.

The objective of this prospective, single-blind clinical investigation is to demonstrate the superiority of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)-guided stent implantation strategy as compared to an angiography-guided stent implantation strategy in achieving larger post-PCI lumen dimensions and improving clinical cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high-risk clinical characteristics and/or with high-risk angiographic lesions.

The aim of the study is to find the optimal management of patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST elevations treated by primary PCI who have at least one significant stenosis of non-culprit coronary artery. The primary endpoint of the study will be incidence of combined endpoint of all cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke during the follow up of 24 months in group of patients treated with staged revascularization (PCI or CABG) in comparison with patients treated conservatively.

The aim is to compare the results of using T-provisional and Mini-Crush stenting techniques in patients with bifurcation lesions in the CTO segment.

The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity but there are further demands on DES performance. Such demands are an optimized performance in very challenging coronary lesions; third generation DES were developed in an effort to further improve DES performance in such challenging lesions. Two CE-certified third generation DES (Resolute Integrity and Promus Element stents) are currently available; there are no data that indicate an advantage of one of these DES over the other.

The ABSORB III PK sub-study is a prospective, open-label, non-blinded study enrolling approximately 12 subjects in up to 5 US sites. ABSORB III PK sub-study is a part of ABSORB III RCT (NCT01751906). The objective is to determine the pharmacokinetics of everolimus delivered by the Absorb BVS in a separate and non-randomized cohort of subjects who only receive Absorb BVS with a maximum of two de novo native coronary artery lesions after implantation of the Absorb BVS. Note: The ABSORB III PK subjects will not contribute to the determination of the ABSORB III RCT primary endpoint.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential benefit of systematic preoperative coronary angiography followed by selective coronary artery revascularization on the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients without a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
