Study on the Preferences for PCI Implantation Devices Among Doctors and Patients
The contemporary percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease typically involves initial lesion preparation with balloon angioplasty, followed by the deployment of a drug-eluting stent (DES) to provide an immediate scaffold and reduce the long-term risk of restenosis. However, stent implantation continues to present notable challenges, primarily due to the metallic …
Comparing the Components of Composite Endpoints for Healthcare Providers and Patients
Clinical trials often employ a composite primary endpoint to increase event rates and enhance trial efficiency. However, analytic approaches to composite endpoints typically assume that the individual components are of similar importance. In practice, a treatment often has different effects on each individual endpoint, leading to uncertainty in interpreting the …
Stents Versus PAclitaxel Coated Balloons for Revascularization of CompleX and Small Coronary Vessels (SPARX) Trial
The main objective of the SPARX trial is to compare paclitaxel-coated balloons to with contemporary DES in complex and small coronary artery lesions in patients with NSTEACS or CCS; the co-primary objective is to compare two different paclitaxel-coated balloons, Protégé and Agent, with each other.
Naples PCI Registry
The aim of the Naples PCI registry is to collect prospective data on baseline clinical, laboratory, and angiographic characteristics of patients undergoing PCI for acute or chronic coronary artery disease. All patients receive clinical follow-up at hospital discharge and at 1-year follow-up with the objective to assess clinical outcomes, including …
Coronary Computed Tomography Versus Invasive Angiography for Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a widely accepted initial diagnostic test for individuals suspected of having chronic coronary syndromes. However, there is limited evidence supporting its use in the acute setting. So far, no large-scale randomized trial has examined the performance of CCTA as an alternative to invasive coronary …
Clinical Outcomes of Cardiovascular Disease
This study is a prospective, single center cohort study that primarily registers the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and influencing factors of patients with different types of cardiovascular diseases. Evaluate multiple examination indicators of patients at baseline, 1 year and longer, and follow up on the incidence of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular …
Effect of Fetal Aortic Valvuloplasty on Outcomes
In one of the most severe congenital heart defects, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), the left ventricle is underdeveloped and the prognosis is worse than in most other heart defects. The underdevelopment can occur gradually during fetal growth caused by a narrowing of the aortic valve. At some international centers, …
Drug-Eluting Balloon Registry in Routine Clinical Practice
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term effectiveness and safety of patients with coronary disease treated with drug eluting balloon in real world practice.
Prognostic Value of BNP in MCS - a 25 Year Follow up Study
A biobank has been created to investigate the prognostic value of biomarkers (mainly BNP) in patients implanted with durable mechanical assist devices comparing patients with advanced HF supported by MCS with those who are transplanted and those who remain on optimal medical therapy. Patients will be followed up for 25 …
UIC Multi-Ethnic DCM Registry
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a condition where the heart loses its ability to pump blood throughout the body, is a common cause of death in the United States (US). It affects minorities more frequently and appears to causes greater harm than Whites. However, almost all research related to DCM has been …
