Influence of Vessel Wall Calcification on Early Stent Strut Healing
To assess the influence of superficial calcium on the early endothelialization (1 month) of the struts of the Xience Skypoint stent (comparing struts with underlying superficial calcium to struts without underlying calcification)
IVUS Guided PCI in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
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 …
Comparison of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy De-escalation by Dose Reduction Versus Switching in Patients Undergoing PCI: The Switching Antiplatelet-8 (SWAP-8) Study
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with low-dose aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is the current standard of care in patients with coronary artery disease experiencing an acute event or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the ischemic benefits are counterbalanced by a significant increase in bleeding events. Over time, different DAPT de-escalation …
Effects of Inclisiran Combined with Statins on the Morphology of Coronary Vulnerable Plaques
Effects of inclisiran + statins vs. statins on the morphology and vascular function of coronary vulnerable plaques, in order to provide a better treatment and more detailed imaging basis for the treatment of coronary vulnerable plaques.
I-WEAR: Evaluating Wearables and Health Summaries in ICU Survivors
This pilot study investigates the use of wearable health technology and bi-weekly digital health summaries in patients recovering from intensive care. Many patients experience physical, psychological, and cognitive challenges after an ICU stay, a condition known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and usability …
Bright Light Exposure in Surgical Patients
Elucidate the influence of intense light therapy pretreatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We hypothesize that intense light exposure is associated with the peripheral stabilization of Per2 in human buccal swabs and plasma samples before surgery and with a decrease of Troponin I levels after surgery. In addition, we hypothesize …
Mitral Regurgitation Treatment in Advanced Heart Failure
MITRADVANCE-HF is a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label, multicentre study trial enrolling patients with SMR and advanced HF on maximally tolerated standard of care therapies for HF according to the most recent guidelines. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to a device arm consisting of MitraClip therapy …
The PRE-OP ENERGY Trial
The PRE-OP ENERGY Trial proposes to test the overarching hypothesis that a pre-surgery high energy diet will protect patients against organ damage during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Efficacy of Phentolamine in Prevention of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury After Complex PCI
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phentolamine in prevention of CA-AKI following complex PCI in patients at high risk of CA-AKI.
Efficacy of MitraCLip Vs. PASCAL for the TrEAtment of MitraL REgurgiTation in an All-comer Population
To investigate potential differences in procedural outcomes of both commercially available transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair devices in a non-selected clinical setting.
