Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a Psychodynamic Motivation and Training Program (PMT) for the improvement of physical fitness in patients with stable coronary heart disease as compared to advice in exercise training or treatment as usual.

Coronary artery stents have improved the safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary artery disease. Drug-eluting stents have been shown to decrease neointimal hyperplasia and to reduce the rate of restenosis and target-lesion revascularization as compared to bare-metal stents. Drug-eluting stents consist of a metallic platform and a therapeutic substance that is usually released from a polymer matrix. A previous study utilizing a bioresorbable polymer has demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile in a large-scale clinical trial as compared to a first-generation druf-eluting stent (LEADERS trial). The objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer with an everolimus-eluting stent with a durable polymer in a prospective multicenter randomized controlled non-inferiority trial in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in routine clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to see whether apadenoson is as effective as adenosine when used as a pharmacological stress agent in myocardial SPECT-imaging (SPECT-MPI)to detect defects in the supply of blood to the heart muscle (myocardial perfusion defects). The study will also look at whether apadenoson is better tolerated than adenosine when used in SPECT-MPI.

The present pilot study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the preoperative infusion of levosimendan in patients with impaired left ventricular function undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

The investigators assume that ranibizumab might be dangerous in patients with history of coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular events. The main objective of study is to reveal contraindications for ranibizumab prescription in patients with history of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular events. Moreover, an association between management with ranibizumab and ATE rate in healthy above 50 years old persons is a concern of great interest as well.

A prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to establish the safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent, XIENCE nano™ Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent, XIENCE PRIME™ LL Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent, HT PROGRESS and HT PILOT Coronary Guide Wires, and MINI-TREK Coronary Dilatation Catheter in patients undergoing elective percutaneous revascularization of native chronic total coronary occlusions

This randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study is designed to test whether 2-day high dose atorvastatin administration before PCI and 30-day continuous intensive atorvastatin treatment is superior to usual care, in terms of peri-PCI cardiovascular events, as well as 6-month prognosis. The goal is to set up an optimized protocol for peri-PCI statin treatment in Chinese CHD patients. Safety will also be observed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AVJ-09-385 Small Vessel Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) (2.25 mm diameter stent) in treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo lesions.

The objective of the study is To verify the safety and efficacy of the MDT-4107 Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent in the treatment of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter (RVD) that allows the use of 2.25mm diameter stents.

The PRESILLION Study is a non-randomized, multi-center, single-arm study evaluating the safety of an approved Cobalt Chromium bare metal stent system for the treatment of ischemic heart disease attributable to a stenotic de novo lesion in a native coronary artery. The study population will include 100 patients with up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions with a maximum lesion length of 30mm in a maximum of two major coronary arteries with reference vessel diameter >= 2.5mm and <= 4.0mm by visual estimation. Patients will be followed for 1 month and 6 month post-procedure for assessment of MACE and all other adverse events.
