Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

The purpose of this study is to determine outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), non-target vessel revascularization (non-TVR), stent-thrombosis) of 120 consecutive patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing multivessel stenting or staged percutaneous coronary intervention with Zotarolimus-eluting stents

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of wall shear stress distribution among different types of drug-eluting stents and its impact on vessel healing evaluated by intravascular optical coherence tomography evaluation.

Investigators will analyzed systolic and diastolic function during and after ischemia induced by percutaneous coronary intervention.Also will be analyzed a local work index during acute ischemia induced by percutaneous coronary intervention.

The hypothesis of this study is that Stress-MRI is a clinically significant method of myocardial perfusion assessment after coronary angioplasty with stenting of right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion (CTO) is performed.

PCI of diffuse long coronary lesions still remains challenging because of relatively high risk of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis compared to short coronary lesions. The purpose of the study is to compare an incidence of composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at 1 year between Absorb everolimus-eluting BVS and Xience EES after coronary intervention in long lesions.

The purpose of the study is to verfiy the hypothesis if a short intensive psychocardiological interval-intervention, combined with a structured follow up, decreases the rate of disability retirements caused by psychosocial co-morbidity of patients with coronary heart disease.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether PCI added to OMT could be superior over OMT alone in the prevention of late adverse cardiac and cerebro-vascular events in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) during the additional 12 months.

Primary To investigate whether peripheral predonditioning induced by brief, intermittent constriction of blood supply to an arm can reduce the incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia in patients operated electively for infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Secondary To investigate the impact of peripheral preconditioning on perioperative inflammatory response. To investigate whether peripheral preconditoning can protect against perioperative myocardial infarction and reduced cardiac pump function.

To assess whether hormonal replacement therapy and/or antioxidant treatment would stabilize or inhibit progression, and induce regression of coronary plaques. The mechanisms by which these treatments modified atherosclerosis in women were also explored.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether less invasive bypass surgery using the left chest wall artery is more or less effective than inserting a heart stent in patients with diabetes and a blockage of the main artery at the front of the heart. This will be a clinical trial study where the investigators will test the rate of recruitment into the study, as well as the feasibility of allocating each of the 2 treatments.
