Myocardial InfarctionMyocardial Ischemia1 more

Heart failure (HF) and acute myocardial infarction that often follows are among the main causes of disability and death worldwide. As such, new treatments and biological drugs are needed to protect the heart against the harmful effects of ischemia and also reperfusion injury (IRI), preserve cardiac function, reduce the zone of myocardial infarction (MI), and improve patient outcomes. In this regard, it has been shown that mitochondrial dysfunction has a key role in the pathogenesis of heart ischemia, cardiomyopathy, and reperfusion injury. in this study which includes 4 groups of intervention, we try to minimize the damage by transplantation of mitochondria and administration of MSC-derived exosomes. MSC-derived exosomes limit inflammatory damage while fresh autologous exosomes limit oxidative stress.

Effects of Mepivacaine on the Neurological Sequelae of Cerebral Infarction

Ischemic Stroke

A patient, suffering from cortical blindness after a bi-occipital infarction 1 year earlier, regained near-normal vision in the right visual hemifield a few minutes after subcutaneous administration of mepivacaine. The effect was maintained for several days, and was repeated with each injection of mepivacaine. This clinical improvement is associated with functional changes in the peri-lesional areas on resting-state functional MRI. The investigator team hypothesizes that in some patients with chronic neurological symptoms of stroke, the investigator team will observe a favorable response to subcutaneous mepivacaine injection.

Rituximab in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction

The main objective is to compare the effect of a single injection of two doses of rituximab versus placebo on 6 months left ventricular systolic function, using CMR, in patients who have had an acute anterior STEMI. The primary endpoint is the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by CMR at 6 months.

Ticagrelor Monotherapy After Stenting

Acute Myocardial Infarction

A pilot study planned to evaluate initial safety of ticagrelor monotherapy after coronary stenting due to acute myocardial infarction. The study is a single-centre, single-arm, prospective phase II study 200 patients who undergo coronary artery stenting due to NSTEMI or STEMI will be included. Primary endpoint (variable): The composite of cardiac death, spontaneous myocardial infarction or definite or probable stent thrombosis within 3 months.

Effect of Perioperative Ultrasound-guided Remote Ischemic Conditioning on Acute Myocardial Infarction...

Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an event of myocardial necrosis caused by myocardial ischemia. Although the incidence and economic burden of AMI has declined in high-income countries, the incidence rate of AMI in China has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Initial medical therapy combined with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is currently the most important advance in restoring coronary perfusion. Timely reperfusion therapy may halt the progress of necrosis and preserve viable tissue; however, it can also induce myocardial injury and cause cardiomyocyte death, a phenomenon called myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), which can increase final myocardial infarct size by up to 50%. Unfortunately, there is no effective intervention for preventing IRI to date, though an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of IRI has led to the suggestion of several innovative therapeutic strategies with the potential for reducing unintended negative side effects of reperfusion therapy in AMI patients. Whether there is a therapeutic intervention that can effectively and safely reduce myocardial infarct size and cardiac mortality has been intensely explored over the years. Against this backdrop, a phenomenon called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has long been discussed as a potential approach to address the above issues. The purpose of present study is to investigate the efficacy of perioperative remote ischemic conditioning delivered at individual timepoints (e.g., pre-, per- and post-PCI) on myocardial injury in patients with AMI.

DCB Under the Guidance of OCT in STEMI

Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a high disability mortality rate, and timely reperfusion treatment can significantly reduce the mortality of patients. Emergency PCI is the preferred strategy for STEMI treatment recommended by domestic and international guidelines. The long-term existence of stents can never completely avoid the formation of thrombosis in the stents and affect the relaxation and contraction of criminal blood vessels. Drug coated balloon provides a new concept and technology of interventional therapy for coronary artery disease in the form of "intervention without implantation". Through balloon dilation of local blood vessels to release anti proliferative drugs to coronary artery wall and inhibit intimal hyperplasia, it can not only treat serious coronary artery disease, improve coronary blood supply and vascular function, but also not leave permanent implants in the blood vessels; The main pathogenesis of STEMI is thrombosis based on the rupture or erosion of coronary atheromatous plaque. In terms of pathophysiological mechanism, drug coated balloons are also suitable for STEMI patients without obvious thrombosis or severe dissection after full pretreatment. The two-dimensional lumen images obtained by traditional coronary angiography can not directly reflect the vessel wall, so we can not evaluate the actual size of the vessel, plaque characteristics and the effect of intervention through coronary angiography; Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses near-infrared scanning to produce high-resolution tissue microscopic images with a resolution of up to 10 μ m. It can clearly observe the three-layer structure of coronary artery, find abnormal intima structure, and more clearly identify thrombosis, dissection, plaque erosion or collapse in coronary artery, providing more valuable information for optimizing interventional treatment. Therefore, the application of drug coated balloon under the guidance of OCT in STEMI can provide a more accurate and optimized diagnosis and treatment scheme for STEMI patients.

DAPAgliflozine to Attenuate Cardiac RemOdeling afTEr aCuTe myOcardial Infarction

AMISTEMI2 more

Recent clinical trials have proven the cardiovascular benefits of new medications for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), especially sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. There are no existing randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin (nor any other SGLT2-inhibitor) to limit cardiac remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Preventing cardiac remodeling, an established predictor of subsequent heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular death, is likely to translate into benefit in reducing clinical events in post-MI patients.

The CMOSS-2 trial is a government-funded, prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. It will recruit symptomatic chronic occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in patients with severe hemodynamic insufficiency. Only high-volume center with a proven track record will be included. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to best medical treatment alone or medical treatment plus bypass surgery. Primary outcome is ischemic stroke in the territory of the target artery within 24 months after randomization.

Acute Ischemic StrokeArterial Thrombosis1 more

The CHOICE study suggested that the use of adjunct intra-arterial alteplase after successful endovascular reperfusion in large vessel occlusion acute ischemic strokes may result in a greater likelihood of excellent neurological outcome at 90 days. However, CHOICE was a phase-2 trial and almost exclusively enrolled anterior circulation occlusions. Therefore, data on the safety and efficacy of post-endovascular reperfusion IAT in posterior circulation stroke is lacking. In general, anterior circulation strokes are associated with a higher risk of ICH than posterior circulation strokes. Therefore, we believe it might be safer to perform post-endovascular reperfusion IAT posterior circulation stroke. Also, there are more perforator artery in the posterior circulation, IAT would be more likely to show its benefit. Therefore, we would like to explore IA rt-PA for posterior circulation stroke after successful MT in our RCT.
