Intravascular Lithotripsy With or Without Rotational Atherectomy for Coronary Calcified Nodule Treatment
The NODULE-SHOCK trial is a prospective, investigator-initiated, single-center, randomized controlled trial designed to compare the efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) with or without rotational atherectomy (RA) in patients with coronary calcified nodules (Cohort A), and operator-determined vs maximum IVL pulses in patients with non-nodular severe coronary calcium (Cohort B).
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 …
Customizable Respiratory Exercise Device in Individuals Who Have Undergone Cardiac Surgery
The cardiorespiratory system integrates systemic and pulmonary circulation while ensuring adequate oxygenation of the body at rest and during exercise. In addition to chronic respiratory problems that mainly affect the lungs, airways and pulmonary vascular system, respiratory capacity and respiratory muscle strength can be negatively affected in a wide spectrum …
Switching From Dual Antiplatelet Therapy to Monotherapy With Potent P2Y12 Inhibitors
Ticagrelor currently represents the most tested and commonly used P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention. The purpose of this study is to conduct a head-to-head comparison on the pharmacodynamic efficacy of ticagrelor-based and prasugrel-based single antiplatelet therapy. To determine if the PD profiles of ticagrelor- and prasugrel-based SAPT are …
Domain-specific Aerobic Exercise Training in Coronary Artery Disease
Exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) is a key part of managing a patient with heart disease. It has been shown that cardiac patients who increase their aerobic ("cardio") fitness by exercise training live longer, have better quality of life, and stay out of hospitals more than patients who do …
Drug-Coated Balloon Versus Drug-eluting Stent Angioplasty for Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusion - The DCB-CTO Trial
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) remains one of the most challenging lesions in coronary artery disease management. Percutaneous coronary intervention using drug-eluting stents is currently a standard treatment approach; however, drug-coated balloon angioplasty has emerged as a potential alternative strategy. This study aims to compare the clinical and angiographic outcomes of …
Prospective CT Assessment After DCB
This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study aims to investigate changes in target lesion hemodynamic parameters, diameter stenosis, plaque characteristics of CCTA before and after the DCB procedure and evaluate their association with clinical outcomes.
DCB vs. DES in Bifurcation Coronary Lesions
This is an investigator-driven prospective, multicentric, international, randomized clinical study, in an open-label randomized fashion, where patients with bifurcation coronary artery disease (Medina: 111,101,011,001) in vessels with diameter \>2.0 (visual estimation) and with a clinical indication to PCI, will be enrolled. After successful predilatation (with any tool deemed useful), patients …
Impact of Disclosing Coronary Artery Disease Polygenic Risk Score on Cardiovascular Health
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether disclosure of a non-high polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD PRS) is non-inferior to standard of care in maintaining cardiovascular health over one year among adults aged 40-75 years without cardiovascular disease and not on statins.
