The primary objective of this study is to investigate the hemoglobin change and association between hemoglobin change and readmissions due to heart failure, and all-cause death in patients with heart failure treated with dapagliflozin or placebo.
ARB-PMCF is a multicenter, observational study of the safety and performance of Abbott annuloplasty devices used in surgical repair of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The devices included in this study are the SJM™ Rigid Saddle Ring and SJM Séguin Annuloplasty Ring, indicated for mitral valve repair, and the SJM …
Open heart surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or aortic valve replacement (AVR) is associated with a significant risk of mortality. This study is a randomized clinical trial with the purpose of investigating four different interventions on the primary endpoint 'days alive and outside of hospital within 90 days'. …
A short description, 5000 characters Ischemic cardiomyopathy related to coronary artery disease is currently the leading cause of heart failure. When it is responsible for heart failure, the coronary artery disease likely involves 2 or 3 vessels. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty, which is the other available technique for coronary revascularization, has …
Coronary bifurcation lesions are lesions (or blockages) that occur at or near the intersection of a major coronary artery and one of the arteries' side branches. Numerous techniques and devices have been developed to treat coronary bifurcations; however, these types of lesions remain some of the most challenging, both in …
The Canadian CABG or PCI in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (STICH3C) trial is a prospective, unblinded, international multi-center randomized trial of 754 subjects enrolled in approximately 45 centers comparing revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with multivessel/left main (LM) coronary artery disease …
Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) has shown good diagnostic performance against Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in several meta-analyses, comparable or even superior to nonhyperemic pressure ratios. However, the reproducibility of QFR is modest and there is high inter- and intra-observer variability even when fairly experienced but non-core lab operators (at least …
Amyloid deposition in the heart is called cardiac amyloidosis (CA); 95% is immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). Hereditary (ATTRm) or wild-type (ATTRwt) depends on whether the ATTRm gene is mutated or not. The most common mutation in Taiwan is A97S, 80% have left ventricular hypertrophy. The …
Coronary artery disease is the most important cause of death worldwide. Treatment option for coronary artery disease is medical treatment, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass surgery. Among them, the field of percutaneous coronary intervention is rapidly developing with regard to the improvement of devices, techniques, or medical treatment, …
The registry aims to follow clinically all consecutive patients treated by percutaneous coronary interventions at hospital \& university Fribourg.
