Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

Coronary revascularization could be accomplished either by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is featured by minimal invasive, low complication and rapid rehabilitation. CABG is characterized by improved long-term, event-free survival attributable to the use of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft. Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) consists of LIMA bypass to left anterior coronary descending artery (LAD) by minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and PCI of other stenosed coronary arteries with DES implantation. One-step HCR entails LIMA-LAD anastomosis performed through MIDCAB, immediately followed by PCI for non-LAD lesions, sometimes for diagonal branch, in the hybrid operating room. Limited data are available in comparing one-step HCR to PCI alone for the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease(MVD). The current EAST-HCR study will investigate the efficacy and safety of one-step HCR for patients with MVD, as comparing to PCI alone.

In this study, a randomized controlled study based on cognitive training was conducted in patients with coronary heart disease and cognitive impairment but without dementia， to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-based digital therapy in improving the cognitive function of such patients.

This study is to compare the effects of sarpogrelate sustained release /aspirin combination therapy versus aspirin on blood viscosity in the patients with peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease

This study is a prospective, multicenter, parallel, open-label, randomized, controlled, superiority trial. It is planned to recruit 8,250 patients with multi-vessel disease(MVD), and the patients will be followed-up for 12 months after being implanted with a drug-eluting stent (DES) at one of 100 different centers. All patients will be randomly divided into the treatment group and control group on a 1:1 basis, based on a complete randomization.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of premature death in Canadian women. Women who suffer an acute coronary event are more likely than men to be physically inactive, have lower exercise capacity, and die in the next year. The standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs do not meet women's needs. There is a need to address these issues to increase participation in CR. The main purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICE) on exercise capacity and quality of life in women with CHD. Positive results of this study will fill the gap in knowledge in exercise training, levels of motivation, self-efficacy and enjoyment following HIIT vs. MICE in women with CHD.

Comparison of Angiography-derived Fractional FLow Reserve And IntraVascular Ultrasound-guided Intervention Strategy for Clinical OUtcomes in Patients with CoRonary Artery Disease

The primary objective of this study is to compare, in patients with severe aortic stenosis and concomitant coronary artery disease accepted for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by the multidisciplinary Heart Team, the safety and efficacy of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iwFR)-guided complete revascularization performed after (within 1-45 days) with iwFR-guided complete revascularization performed before (within 1-45 days) TAVI using the Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve®.

A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial. Plan to recruit 240 patients whose lesions are de novo coronary artery disease (reference vessel diameter ≥ 3.0 mm), diameter stenosis ≥ 75% with ischemic symptoms or objective evidence of ischemia (ECG, cardionuclide, or FFR), and are suitable for implantation DES or DCB. After successful preconditioning, patients were randomly assigned to two PCI treatment groups(drug-coated balloon or drug-eluted stent) in a 1:1 ratio. The safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloons in PCI treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions (reference diameter 3.0 mm and above) were evaluated by comparing the late lumen loss of two groups of subjects in 12 months.

Many patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) have multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD), which is associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, there have been few studies regarding revascularization strategy in patients with NSTEMI and MVD. Therefore, we planned to perform prospective, open-label, randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immediate complete revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] for both infarct-related artery [IRA] and non-IRA during index PCI) compared to staged PCI strategy of non-IRA (PCI for IRA followed by non-IRA PCI after several days). PCI procedure at non-IRA with diameter stenosis between 50 and 69% should be conducted with the aid of fractional flow reserve (FFR), and non-IRA with diameter stenosis ≥ 70% will be revascularized without FFR.

The FAST III is a randomized controlled, open-label, multicenter, international, non-inferiority, strategy trial. A total of 2228 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to either vFFR- or FFR guided revascularization. Patients will be consented prior to the procedure and then followed up to 12 (+1) months after randomization. The primary endpoint is analyzed at 12 months after randomization. Approximately 35 sites in 7 European countries (Netherlands, Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France).
