CAD - Coronary Artery Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the application of soft foam dressings can reduce the occurrence of surgery-related pressure injuries among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Specifically, this research aims to investigate differences in pressure injury outcomes before and after the intervention, and to assess the preventive effectiveness of soft foam dressings as an adjunctive skin-protection strategy.

This study aims to evaluate whether daily low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg), administered in addition to the standard secondary prevention regimen recommended in clinical guidelines after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), can further prevent graft failure after CABG through a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

PROFILE-HF is a multicenter, observational, prospective study of the clinical course and outcomes of chronic heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The objective of the study is to develop a method for assessing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CAD and HF who have undergone CABG, based on preoperative GDF-15 concentrations. The study will have a 12-month follow-up period; one in-person visit is planned at the end of the follow-up period. If it is not possible to visit a doctor in person, information will be collected through telephone contact with the patient or his relative or person caring for the patient.

We retrospectively analyzed 200 CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography between 2026-2027. Patients were grouped by CTO presence. Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared, and logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing CABG. And learn if tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid) treats pain not inferiory then morphine. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid) lower the VAS score same way as a morphine? What medical problems do participants have when taking tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid)? Participants will: Group (1)- subcutaneous single dose of morphine 10 mg would be administred based on VAS score \> 3 during 24 hours after CABG. Exprimental group (2)- subcutaneous single dose of tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid) - 0.4 mg would be administred based on VAS score \> 3 during 24 hours after CABG. Efficacy was assessed using the VAS scale decreassion. Hemodynamic parameters and arterial blood gases were also assessed.

The study objectives are: 1. To evaluate the safety and performance of the SirPlux Duo PTCA to treat coronary ISR lesions 2.00-4.00 mm (inclusive) in diameter in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease. 2. To evaluate the safety and performance of the SirPlux Duo PTCA to treat coronary de novo lesions \<3.00 mm in diameter in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease.

Empagliflozin is a drug given to lower glucose. It is used in the treatment of diabetes. However, it was shown to improve symptoms and survival of patients who are suffering from heart failure. The exact mechanism of this effect is currently not clearly understood. He hypothesize that empagliflozin has other properties than glucose lowering, that can explain its efficacy. One of these properties, is an anti-inflammatory effect. To document this, we are using a model of inflammation following percutaneous coronary scenting. We know that patients who get a stent will develop inflammation following stenting. This is documenting by a higher level of C-Reactive Protein 24 hours after the procedure. Patients who will participate in the study, will receive empagliflozin or a placebo tablet for 3 days prior to the revascularisation procedure. CRP and other inflammatory markers will be measured before intervention and 24 hours later. The goal is to demonstrate a lower rise in CRP following intervention in patients treated with empagliflozin vs. those who have received a placebo.

The primary aim of this registry is to systematically collect and analyze real-world data on all patients undergoing PCI with the Protégé paclitaxel-eluting DCB to evaluate procedural outcomes, long-term efficacy, and safety across various clinical indications. This registry aims to assess the clinical effectiveness of DCB therapy across diverse patient populations, including those with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS), as well as various lesion subsets, encompassing (but not limited to) in-stent restenosis (ISR), de novo coronary lesions, small vessel disease, bifurcation and calcified lesions, coronary bypass graft lesions, and patients at high risk of bleeding. Additionally, the study aims to identify predictors of success, complications, and optimal treatment strategies to further refine the use of DCBs.

A post marketing, observational , multi centre, prospective registry to assess safety and performance of the Drug Eluting Balloon in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Rational : Although DEBs are generally considered safe, there remain many unanswered questions about DEB technology in a real-world population and only limited trial data from geographically or clinically diverse patient subgroups. To address some of the clinical and translational gaps in knowledge we thus plan a clinical registry to assess safety and performance of a novel design of a drug eluting A real-world, all-comers coronary artery disease (CAD) population undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and suitable for treatment with a Paclitaxel Coated Coronary Balloon Dilatation Catheter. Study Population - 500 Patients

This research develops risk prediction models for coronary artery stenosis and vulnerable plaques. The coronary artery stenosis model aims to predict stenosis using multimodal deep learning by integrating text, structured numerical data, and imaging features, focusing on metrics like maximum and cumulative stenosis. The vulnerable plaque model seeks to identify early formation indicators, allowing for timely interventions to prevent plaque rupture, using similar data integration techniques. Additionally, a decision support system is created, comprising a patient database, risk prediction models, and a high-risk alert module. This system facilitates real-time notifications to healthcare providers when risk thresholds are exceeded, enabling personalized treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
