Endovascular Acute Stroke Intervention - Tandem OCclusion Trial
Patients with tandem occlusion or tandem lesion (TL), that is, stroke with an acute intracranial anterior circulation occlusion and an ipsilateral cervical ICA (c-ICA) high-grade stenosis or occlusion, constitute about 15-20% of patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). However, the optimal treatment of acute stroke patients with TL remains uncertain, as …
Study on the Trans-Carotid Artery Occlusion Shunt System
The objective of the study is to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Trans-Carotid Artery Occlusion Shunt System for Carotid Artery Revascularization during Endovascular Treatment
Tandem Occlusion After Emergent Stenting in Acute Ischemic Stroke
In acute ischemic stroke due to tandem occlusion, the emergent stenting has recently become an endovascular treatment option combining with mechanical thrombectomy to achieve recanalization. However, the data on the beneficial endovascular management of tandem occlusion in two circulations is still limited. The purpose of our study was to compare …
Cognitive-Motor Incorporated Training and Its Relations in Cerebrovascular Diseases With Cognitive and Motor Impairments
The following three-part proposal will explore the impact of applying motor-cognitive incorporated training (MCIT) in individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) or Moyamoya disease (MMD), and examine the relationship between cognitive and motor impairments and brain activation patterns in these populations. Part I is a cross-sectional study designed to characterize …
PET Imaging of Inflammation and Lipid Lowering Study
While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used as an early marker of drug efficacy in numerous clinical cardiovascular drug trials, as a glucose analog, its signal in the vasculature lacks inflammatory cell-specificity. Moreover, high background 18F-FDG signals from the myocardium often preclude coronary artery imaging, despite …
Feasibility of a Multifaceted Program to Reduce Cardiovascular Complications of Air Pollution
The main goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a large-scale clinical trial testing a program containing several aspects for reducing the effects of air pollution on cardiovascular health (which is named the hybrid program hereafter) in adult patients (18 years or older) with atherosclerotic …
SVS VQI TransCarotid Revascularization Surveillance Project
The VQI TCAR Surveillance Project is designed to monitor the safety and effectiveness of stents placed directly into the carotid artery while reversing blood flow within the carotid artery to reduce stroke risk. It will compare this less-invasive surgical procedure with standard carotid endarterectomy in centers that participate in the …
The CREST-2 Registry
The objective of C2R is to promote the rapid initiation and completion of enrollment in the CREST-2 randomized clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02089217). Patients with severe symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery occlusive disease will be treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) performed by experienced and skilled interventionists. Interventionists' eligibility will …
Biomarkers and Unstable Carotid Plaque
This prospective study investigated associations between circulating miRNAs and symptomatic and asymptomatic ICAS, carotid plaque morphology and future cardiovascular events.
Carotid Atherosclerosis in Predicting Coronary Artery Disease
Carotid plaque burden and composition features, particularly lipid necrotic core, are significantly associated with severity of CAD stenosis. This study aims to explore the relationship between various phenotypic patterns of carotid atherosclerosis with the prevalence, phenotype, and severity of coronary atherosclerosis. The patients with chest tightness or chest pain will …
