Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

The purpose of this SPIRIT 48 study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ABT NG DES 48 in improving coronary artery luminal diameter in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) due to de novo native coronary artery long lesions.

Angiography-derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) Virtual Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) plan is superior to conventional angiography-guided PCI in obtaining a good final physiology result, which is, in turn, associated with better prognosis. This has been demonstrated in a population with a relatively low lesion complexity. Therefore, whether angiography-based FFR virtual PCI could guarantee the same results in some complex anatomical settings (tortuous or calcific vessels, tandem or bifurcation lesions) is not known, also given the inherent limitations of the 3Dimensional (3D)-reconstruction. The ability of invasive FFR to achieve the same result if compared to angiography-guided PCI has been questioned by recent studies. Recent technological developments, namely the design of pressure wire microcatheters may allow an easier handling of the procedural planning and guidance. The rationale of the AQVA II study is to test whether a longitudinal FFR-based virtual PCI either angio- or microcatheter- derived is able to improve the post-PCI physiology value if compared to angio-guided PCI in complex and high-risk indicated procedures (CHIP).

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of the SINOMED BuMA Supreme biodegradable coronary stent in patients with up to 3 coronary lesions to either the XIENCE or Promus durable polymer coronary stents. This prospective, global, multi-center, randomized 2:1, single blind study will enroll up to 1632 subjects at up to 130 investigational sites in North America, Japan, and Europe. Subjects will have clinical follow-up in-hospital and at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 years.

A single center, phase 0/1 clinical imaging study designed to assess the role of [68Ga]Galmydar PET/CT imaging in human subjects.

Angina is a common clinical symptom of ischemic heart disease, affecting up to 11 million people in the United States alone, and 112 million people globally. Despite this, 4 in 10 patients undergoing elective coronary angiography for angina and ischemia do not have evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). This condition of ischemia with no obstructive CAD (INOCA) is associated with high clinical and economic morbidity, as these patients have a higher rate of repeat procedures and hospitalizations, worse quality of life, future adverse cardiovascular events and frequent time missed from work. The overall objective of this study is to develop and validate a non-invasive algorithm for diagnosis and management of patients with INOCA and suspected microvascular dysfunction centered around cardiac PET MPI. A secondary goal of the study is to assess for improvement in patient symptoms, function and quality of life from PET-guided management of CMD in patients with INOCA. This study will take place at Mount Sinai Morningside in the PET and CTunit on the 3rd floor. The sub-study will occur at Mount Sinai Morningside Cath Lab on the 3rd floor. The study will enroll an estimated total of 70 subjects, 12 of which will also participate in the sub-study. The study is estimated to last 2 years.

PIONEER-II RCT trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority registry trial. 539 subjects from about 40 interventional cardiology centers in China will be enrolled to evaluate In-stent late lumen loss(LLL) as the primary endpoint at 9 months. And all the subjects will be followed up to 5 years to attain the data of the secondary endpoints.

In a randomized trial patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction are prospectively enrolled and assigned to either a web-based intensive prevention program or usual care (1 : 1 randomization). The web-based program includes telemetric transmission of data on cardiocascular risk factors (physical activity, blood pressure, body weight) by patients to the study center, e-learning modules by the study center and repetitive electronic contacts by e-mails and apps between a prevention assistant and the patient. In addition, genetic risk on cardiovascular events will be assessed in all patients of the intervention group by a polygenetic risk score (PRS). Patients of the intervention group are randomly assigned to disclosure of genetic risk vs. no disclosure. The study hypothesis is that disclosure of genetic risk improves cardiovascular risk factor control by increased patient motivation.

The overall goal of this project is to compare the absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion done by using CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) and the coronary flow measured by using CT Fractional Flow Reserve analysis (CT-FFR) to the gold standard represented by PET myocardial perfusion imaging (PET-MPI).

The primary objective in this study is to investigate if vein grafts harvested and implanted with the non-touch technique are superior to conventional vein graft technique with respect to mid-term patency, in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Among patients with stable ischemic heart disease who are referred for coronary angiography, a substantial proportion have non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Ischemia based on symptoms or stress testing may be due to coronary microvascular dysfunction in up to 40% of these patients. However, the mechanisms and optimal treatment of coronary microvascular dysfunction are unknown. Aberrant platelet activity and inflammation have been hypothesized as mechanisms of microvascular dysfunction. Investigators plan to evaluate association between platelet activity, inflammation, and coronary microvascular dysfunction in stable women referred for coronary angiography, and to identify non-invasive correlates of coronary microvascular dysfunction in these patients.
