Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

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.

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.

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, open-label, First in Human clinical trial to provide preliminary evidence for the safety and efficacy of the novel IoNIR stent system.

East Asian patients will be required optimal dose of newer P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor) to determine the safer treatment and better outcome. Whether low dose of ticagrelorI is more adequate for clinical practice in Korea is unclear. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate efficacy and safety of low dose of ticagrelor in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of early treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management vs routine lipid management alone when administered in the acute setting to reduce myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, arterial revascularization, and all-cause death in subjects hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction (non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI] and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]).

During the outbreak of COVID-19, for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with unclear infection, the time of primary PCI is uncertain, and it is often expected to exceed 90 minutes or even 120 minutes. In indicated patients, intravenous thrombolysis has significantly improved the recanalization time of criminal vessels.

Multicenter randomized double blind trial comparing intravenous cangrelor and oral ticagrelor in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by initial cardiogenic shock and treated with primary angioplasty.

This study evaluates whether achieving 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] Vit D) levels (>40 ng/mL) among myocardial infarction patients will result in a reduction of cardiovascular-related adverse events. Half of the patients will be randomized to receive standard of care and half will receive clinical management of 25[OH] Vit D levels.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether using the the IMPELLA® CP System temporary circulatory assist device for 30 minutes prior to a catheterization procedure has the potential to reduce the damage to the heart caused by a heart attack, compared to the current standard of care.

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) accounts for 15% of all myocardial infarctions and its mortality rate approaches that of large vessel myocardial infarction, but there are currently no effective treatment options. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is an important mechanism of MINOCA and is closely related to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The prospective trial aimed to verify the safety and effectiveness of cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) in the treatment of Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), and to expand the scope of clinical indications for CSWT and provide new treatment strategy for MINOCA.
