Active clinical trials for "Coronary Stenosis"

In this randomized clinical trial, the researchers are investigating whether a multi-component virtual cardiac rehabilitation program in addition to usual care will improve functional status, cholesterol level, overall cardiovascular health, individual risk factors, quality of life and mental health for patients who have recently been diagnosed with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as compared to usual care.

In this prospective, single-arm study, we will look at the initiation, participation, sustained engagement, and safety of 100 adult subjects (ages 45 years or older) with recent (within the past 60 days) clinician referral to CR who are offered CTR via the RecoveryPlus platform. We want to understand the effectiveness of the RecoveryPlus platform in engaging participants in CR while remaining a safe alternative for the delivery of evidence-based CR content. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the RecoveryPlus CTR platform and patient-facing mobile application provide a safe alternative to traditional in-person CR, and demonstrate a high rate of initiation, participation, and engagement in CR exercise programming than traditional modes of CR delivery, as documented in the literature. Current in-person and non-personalized CR programming lacks RecoveryPlus' convenient remote access, easy-to-use digital tools to support independent, autonomous exercise, and a platform to facilitate engagement and feedback between patients and EPs.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the accuracy, efficacy, and durability of the OpSens Medical OptoWire Deux pressure wire in the assessment of angiographically intermediate proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) stenoses in clinical practice.

The presence of inducible myocardial ischemia is considered as the prerequisite for the clinical benefit of coronary revascularization. In this regard, the introduction of invasive pressure-derived physiological indices to guide myocardial revascularization represented a major breakthrough for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), by moving the focus of coronary revascularization from anatomy to physiology . The main premise of coronary physiology is to permit determination of the functional significance of individual stenoses on a per-vessel basis, measurable at the time of clinical decision-making process, thus providing an objective marker to identify ischemic lesions, and therefore patients, most likely to benefit from coronary revascularization . Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the most widely used pressure-derived invasive physiological index for coronary lesion assessment in contemporary clinical practice. FFR is calculated as the ratio of the mean distal coronary pressure (Pd) to the mean proximal coronary pressure (Pa) across a stenosis during maximal hyperaemia, a condition that is commonly achieved by the intracoronary or intravenous administration of a potent vasodilator agent, such as adenosine. Based on the results of landmark clinical trials, most recent guidelines recommend the use of FFR to identify hemodynamically significant coronary lesions in patients with stable CAD. Despite this, the worldwide adoption of FFR into current clinical practice remains limited , accounting for only 9.8% of coronary procedures in Switzerland . Potential reasons for the low adoption rate of coronary physiology include technical challenges and time consumption related to FFR measurements, inadequate or lack of reimbursement, physician preferences, patient-related discomfort, contraindications and costs associated with adenosine, or in certain countries, no availability of adenosine. The low use of FFR in clinical practice provided a rationale for the development of new invasive physiology indices. By negating the need for administration of pharmacologic agents such as adenosine, saving time, and reducing costs and side effects, hyperaemia-free pressure-derived physiological indices were developed to increase adoption of physiology-guided coronary revascularization into routine clinical practice.

The objective of this study is to verify the safety and efficacy of the investigational device (ELX1805J) for the treatment of ischemic heart disease due to de novo, native coronary artery lesions

The aim of the TARGET PREMIER trail in to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the rapamycin target eluting stent in the treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease (asymptomatic myocardial ischemia , table or unstable angina), with target lesion(s) in coronary arteries with visually estimated reference vessel diameter ≥2.25mm and ≤4.0 mm.

The OPTIMAL study is a randomized, controlled, multicentre, international study. A total of 800 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI versus qualitative angio(QCA)-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Patients will be consented prior to the PCI procedure and then followed up to 2 years after the index procedure. Patients will be followed-up at 1 month (telephone contact), 12 months (outpatient clinic visit or telephone call) and 24 months (outpatient clinic visit or telephone call) after the index procedure.

A pragmatic, prospective, multi-center, open label, randomized controlled, superiority trial. The study will compare clinical outcomes between invasive versus non-invasive approach as next diagnostic step in symptomatic patients with non-high risk obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary computed tomography-angiography (CCTA).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fractional flow reserve (FFR, (coronary pressure wire-based index for assessing the ischemic potential of a coronary lesion)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) will result in similar outcomes to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes between quantitative coronary angiography -guided and Intravascular ultrasound -guided strategy in patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing sirolimus-eluting Orsiro/Orsiro mission stent implantation.
