Active clinical trials for "Coronary Stenosis"

This is a prospective, single-center study. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of offline computational ultrasonic flow ratio (UFR) with conventional pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the standard reference. The study will be conducted in Fuwai Hospital, and a total of 408 patients with coronary vessel diameter stenosis ≥30% and ≤80% are planned to be recruited. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will undergo intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) followed by FFR examination. IVUS imaging will be sent to an independent core laboratory for UFR calculation. UFR analyses were performed offline in a blinded fashion without awareness of FFR measurement. Using FFR≤0.80 as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of UFR in the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis will be analyzed.

This is a proof of concept study involving a novel medical device, developed to investigate the potential for detecting and localising coronary artery stenosis. A prototype device will be used in the proposed clinical investigation. It is a stick-on patch containing sensors which measure the sound produced at and the movement of, the chest surface by flowing blood as it accelerates through the stenosis and becomes disturbed as it emerges downstream, allowing the blockage to be detected and localised non-invasively. The proposed clinical investigation will involve a small number of patients and healthy volunteers. The patients will be drawn from those attending The BartsHeart Centre for suspected or diagnosed coronary artery disease and all clinical measurements will take place at Barts Health Trust. The patch to be used in the proposed clinical investigation incorporates commercially available sensors and will be tested by recording acoustic signatures in healthy volunteers, then in patients undergoing coronary CT angiography at Barts. Signals will be analysed initially by measuring their acoustic energy at various frequencies and in later iterations, by a machine-learning algorithm. Results will be validated against the CT angiography gold standard.

This is a prospective, observational, single-center study. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of offline computational ultrasonic flow ratio (UFR) in predicting functionally significant left main (LM) coronary stenosis with conventional pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the standard reference. The study will be conducted in Fuwai Hospital, and a total of 120 patients with intermediated left main coronary vessel diameter stenosis ≥30% and ≤80% are planned to be recruited. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will undergo intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) followed by FFR examination. IVUS imaging will be sent to an independent core laboratory for UFR calculation. UFR analyses were performed offline in a blinded fashion without awareness of FFR measurement. Using FFR≤0.80 as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of UFR in the functional significance of left main coronary artery stenosis will be analyzed.

This is a pilot study using a randomized, double blinded, comparison of two iodinated contrast agents used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). All patients enrolled must have and estimated glomerular filtration [eGFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Statistical summaries will be presented to analyse the various laboratory tests for the two groups.

Coronary angiography-derived FFR assessment (AngioQFA) is a novel technique for physiological lesion assessment based on 3-dimensional (3D) quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and virtual hyperemic flow derived from contrast frame count without drug-induced hyperemia. The goal of this prospective, multicenter trial is to compare the diagnostic performance of AngioQFA with invasive FFR as the reference standard. The secondary purpose is to compare the diagnostic accuracies of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) using wire-based IMR as the reference standard.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Absorb BVS System compared to the XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) in the treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by up to two de novo native coronary artery lesions in separate epicardial vessels.

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, open-label clinical trial. Clinical follow-up will be performed at 30 days. Follow-up by phone will be performed at 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure. Study Objective is to further assess the safety and efficacy of long (38 mm) Ridaforolimus Eluting Stent - EluNIR.

Comprehensive assessment of human vasodilatory effect of GLP-1 in forearm and coronary arteries

Drug-eluting stent (DES) has been the primary choice for in suit coronary lesions treatment. In comparison to bare-metal stent (BMS), it evidently decreases the rate of restenosis. However, in recent years in-stent restenosis or thrombogenesis caused by acquired stent malapposition in the late stage or by new in-stent atherosclerotic plaques was oberved, which possibly was associated with chronic inflammation stimulation because of residual intravascular metal or polymer coating. Through being expanded around 30 to 60 seconds, drug-coated balloon (DCB) can ensure adequate paclitaxel enter the artery wall, which can inhibit smooth muscle cells hyperplasia without remaining any foreign body. In recent small sample trials, they showed that sole DCB treatment had a good long-term effect when pre-treating ideal in suit coronary lesions (defined as residual stenosis< 30%, without dissection severer than type C, anterograde flow TIMI III). In PEPCAD I trial, the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was 6.1% in the first 12 months and persistent to 3-year follow up. Small sample prospective observational study from Korea, like Shin, showed that in the in suit coronary lesions with the fractional flow reserve (FFR)>0.85 after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), the FFR kept unchanged in the 9-month follow up after DCB treatment and there was not MACE happened. However, so far randomized controlled trials with large sample to confirm their non-inferiority compared with DES when treating relatively larger in suit coronary lesions are lacked. Meanwhile, a number of doctors worried about acute cardiovascular occlusion and long-term restenosis. In this study, we assume that in the in suit coronary lesions with FFR>0.85 after PTCA pre-treatment, DCB treatment is not inferior to DES treatment regarding to middle- and long-term functional recovery.

Prospective, multicenter, single arm study, to assess the feasibility and safety of the Axetis Inert Stent for treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery stenosis in native vessels.
