Overview

The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is high (> 25%) in patients with severe chronic renal disease (CKD) who undergo a percutaneous coronary procedure.

The development of CIN is a factor of poor prognosis and is associated with the occurrence of irreversible CKD, the need for dialysis, increased length of stay and hospital costs as well as the risk of death. There is no specific treatment for N-PCI, so its prevention is essential. Although many studies have been conducted to identify, compare and implement different pharmacological strategies for the prevention of CIN before percutaneous coronary procedurse, few per-procedural strategies have been studied to prevent this risk.

Intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) is an essential tool, used routinely to guide percutaneous coronary procedures thanks to ultrasound, it does not require the injection of iodine contrast.

The main objective is to show that an IVUS-guided "zero-contrast" coronary angioplasty strategy in patients with severe renal impairment decreases the incidence of CIN within 72 hours of procedure.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
