AVJ-301 Clinical Trial: A Clinical Evaluation of AVJ-301 (Absorb™ BVS) in Japanese Population
Coronary Artery DiseaseMyocardial IschemiaProspective, Randomized (2:1), active control, single-blind, non-inferiority, multicenter, Japanese Clinical Trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Absorb™ BVS (AVJ-301) in the treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo native coronary artery lesions in Japanese population by comparing to approved metallic drug eluting stent.
Pharmacodynamic Effects of Prasugrel Compared With Ticagrelor in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease...
Coronary Artery DiseaseRecently, two P2Y12 receptor inhibitors have been approved for clinical use: prasugrel and ticagrelor. Both prasugrel and ticagrelor have shown to be associated with more potent antiplatelet effects compared with clopidogrel and are associated with an improved net clinical benefit. However, to date there are limited head-to-head comparisons of these two new agents.
Bare Metal Stent Versus Drug Coated Balloon With Provisional Stenting in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial...
Coronary Heart DiseaseNSTEMIThe aim of the present trial is to assess the efficacy of the standalone use of SeQuent(R) Please coated balloon compared to a bare metal stent (BMS) in patients with NSTEMI.
Effects of N-acetylcysteine on Low T3 Syndrome
Acute Myocardial InfarctionEuthyroid Sick Syndrome1 moreThe propose of this study is to determine whether N-acetylcysteine is effective in reversing the changes in thyroid hormones seen in critical illness, known as the low T3 syndrome.
Efficacy and Safety of Targeted Intramyocardial Delivery of Auto CD34+ Stem Cells for Improving...
Chronic Myocardial IschemiaRefractory Angina Pectoris1 moreThe purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of targeted intramyocardial delivery of Auto-CD34+ cells for increasing exercise time and amelioration of anginal symptoms in subjects with refractory angina and chronic myocardial ischemia.
Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Type-2 Diabetes MellitusCoronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with ticagrelor + aspirin is more effective than treatment with clopidogrel + aspirin in patients with type-2 diabetes. Both treatments will be given (separately) to all subjects as a one-time loading dose (i.e. higher than a normal daily dose), followed by daily dose for the next 5 to 7 days. Effectiveness of treatment will be measured with specialized blood tests before the loading dose, at two time-points after the loading dose, and once after the last daily dose.
Effect of Isoflurane on Tissue Doppler Imaging of Mitral Annulus During Cardiac Surgery
Valvular Heart DiseaseIschemic Heart DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to determine Isoflurane's dose-dependent effect on left ventricular (LV) systolic function in cardiac surgery. The change of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) of lateral mitral valve annular systolic velocity at three different isoflurane concentrations would be analyzed by using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cardiac surgery patients.
Global Profiling of Gene and Protein Expression Associated With Coronary Heart Disease Reversal...
Heart DiseasesCardiovascular DiseasesThe purpose of this study is to characterize changes in gene and protein expression in peripheral blood in patients with, or at risk for, heart disease during an intensive lifestyle modification program.
Comparison of the Angiographic Result of the Orsiro Hybrid Stent With Resolute Integrity Stent
Coronary Artery DiseaseCoronary Heart Disease4 moreThe purpose of this multicenter, randomized, open label, parallel arm study whether the newest 3rd generation stent - Orsiro hybrid sirolimus-eluting stent is noninferior to the newest 2nd generation stent - Resolute Integrity zotarolimus-eluting stent in terms of 9 months in-stent late lumen loss. 345 Korean patients with a wide variety of coronary heart disease will be enrolled to this "all-comers" trial to give definite answer to the above hypothesis that is urgently needed.
Study of the Vascular Effects of Serelaxin
Coronary Artery DiseaseThis was a mechanistic study in patients with coronary artery disease on the effects of Serelaxin on micro- and macrovascular function.
