Active clinical trials for "Infarction"

The purpose is to compare the effects of tDCS and constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) in the premotor cortex vs. primary motor cortex in severely subacute stroke survivors.

A single-centered, randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing standardized medical care alone with standardized medical care and decompressive hemicraniectomy to determine the effectiveness of decompressive surgery more definitively in patients with clinical signs of infarction of the Middle Carotid Artery (MCA) territory.

Randomized trial to test the efficacy and safety of newer Drug Eluting Stent generation in patient with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

The aim of this study is the evaluation of early smoking reduction or cessation by means of no nicotine electronic cigarette added to standard counselling.

Evaluate the efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous single injection LC28-0126 immediately before PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) in Patients with STEMI (ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction)

The primary endpoint is to assess the safety and tolerability of Cenderitide (CD-NP) with the incidence of symptomatic hypotension being one of the key safety variables.

Experimental evidence suggests exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor analogue, has significant cardiovascular protective effects in various conditions. The investigators examined whether conventional use of exenatide at the time of primary percutaneous coronary intervention would reduce the infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Despite advances in the treatment of heart attacks the complications and death rates from failure of the heart to pump properly after treatment remain high. A heart attack occurs when one or more of the arteries that supply blood to the heart become blocked, causing the heart to be starved of oxygen and nutrients. This results in damage to the heart and so the the heart pumps less well. The main treatment for a heart attack is balloon treatment to open the blocked artery (called primary angioplasty). Whilst re-opening the artery is essential and allows blood to flow to the area of the heart starved of oxygen, this process also causes damage itself (called reperfusion injury) and increases the size of the heart attack further. Currently there are no treatments available that reduce this reperfusion injury. The investigators and others have shown that a substance called sodium nitrite reduces reperfusion injury in experimental models of a heart attack. The aim of this research is to perform a trial to investigate whether during a heart attack, an infusion of sodium nitrite into the damaged artery protects against reperfusion injury and reduces heart attack size in patients.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the efficacy and safety of pharmacoinvasive therapy by using prourokinase (prouk), a unique fibrin-specific agent, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy performances of CRE8 Drug Eluting Stent, in patients comparable to the everyday's clinical practice population, with a specific focus on diabetics, that will be part of a pre-specified study subgroup.
