Active clinical trials for "Coronary Stenosis"

It has been assumed that some elements of the ERAS protocol may contribute to the reduction of complications and improve the satisfaction of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Elements of the ERAS strategy will be tested in this study. The elements that prove to be feasible and have a positive effect on the treatment process will be introduced into everyday clinical practice. In the next stage of the research, we are planning to investigate whether the introduction of the ERAS strategy has had a long-term positive effect on the quality of life after treatment (a survey 1 month and 6 months after leaving the hospital).

Antiplatelet therapy plays a key role in the prevention of complications related to coronary angioplasty and stenting (PCI) including procedure related myocardial damage. Aspirin and clopidogrel are now universally prescribed in patients undergoing these procedures. However, loading and maintenance doses have not been established and variation in individual response is emerging. New tests to assess the effects of these drugs are being developed but have yet to be incorporated into routine clinical practice. We will assess the effects of aspirin and clopidogrel in a consecutive series of patients undergoing angioplasty using new assays which can be carried out at the bedside. We will compare the results with alternative laboratory based tests and look for an association between the results, peri-procedural myocardial necrosis and subsequent cardiovascular events.

The PROMUS Element™ clinical trial (PLATINUM-PLUS) consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the European Union (EU) which will enroll approximately 2980 subjects (2:1 randomization PROMUS Element™: Xience™ Prime) in a Population of consecutive, all comers in the reimbursed indications per-country All subjects will be screened per the protocol required inclusion/exclusion criteria.

The study is to determine the long-term outcome of patients with coronary triple vessels disease (TVD) in the real world of China, by three different treatment strategies: percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or optimal medication therapy (OMT).

Register of treatment of unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis in Andalucia (RETRATO).

This study is being done to study stent deformation on persons with de novo coronary lesions to determine how much deformation takes place and how often. The information gathered from the group that receives the Promus element stent will be compared to other groups that receive other contemporary drug eluting stents.

VALIDITY is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial （ClinicalTrials.gov number）. The study was designed to evaluate the value of noninvasive anatomic CTA combined with functional CTP for the next clinical decision making and the added prognostic value of CTP beyond CTA.

Angina pectoris is the most common clinical manifestation of coronary heart disease（CHD）, which is the main feature of chest pain caused by transient myocardial ischemia. Chronic stable angina pectoris is the degree, frequency, nature and cause of angina pectoris in patients with no significant change in a few weeks. The disease incidence is complex, difficult to diagnosis and treatment, clinical should be combined with various inspection methods for diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Fractional flow reserve of computerized tomographic scanning (FFRCT ) allows computerized tomographic scanning（CT） to scan the determination of coronary blood flow and blood pressure in the heart at rest and hyperemia, but no need to additional check or drugs. This technique has been used for noninvasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the calculation, assuming normal artery, calculated by the ratio of the maximum blood flow and blood flow of coronary artery stenosis of an artery. Along with the development and progress of computational fluid dynamics, in the resting state by computed tomographic angiography of coronary artery(CCTA) image data based, simulation of coronary artery maximal hyperemia and according to the 3-dimensional model of the traditional method of reconstruction of coronary arterial tree and ventricular muscle structure, and in order to calculated coronary blood flow and pressure. FFRCT is a novel non-invasive examination method, using computed tomographic angiography of coronary artery image data can be calculated FFR, and preliminary study proved that it has a high degree of correlation with traumatic FFR. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the correlation between the degree of coronary stenosis and the grading of angina pectoris by noninvasive means --FFRCT, in order to provide a new idea for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of coronary heart disease.

Recent studies have shown that optimal IVUS criteria defining the functional significance (FFR < 0.8) of intermediate coronary stenoses is different according to their locations of the coronary tree. Herein, the investigators performed this study to validate these results and to generalize the IVUS criteria defining functional significance of intermediate coronary stenosis in a different location of coronary tree in a larger sample size.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of acquisition of coronary blood flow velocity signals over the whole length of the LAD with transthoracic pulsed Doppler, and to evaluate the diagnostic power of the transthoracic Doppler analysis package for detecting and estimating the degree of coronary artery stenosis. Finally we hope to optimize the currently available analysis package on the basis of the comparison of the Doppler with the angiographic stenosis results and evaluation.
