Characterizing Vulnerable Plaques in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction using PET-CMR: A Feasibility Study

In patients with NSTEMI we aim to: 1) compare coronary vulnerable plaque detection between 18F-NaF-PET-CMR and invasive coronary angiography, 2) investigate the relation of coronary vulnerable plaques using 18F-NaF-PET with myocardial infarction…

Imaging and Modeling to investigate the mutual relationship of Plaque growth and biomechanical parameters in human coronary arteries

To investigate the association between shear stress and plaque growth and plaque composition changes over time. Furthermore, it will be investigated how these plaque changes influence the local wall stress.

The treatment of coronary artery lesions using the PRO-Kinetic energy cobalt-chromium, bare-metal stent (BIOHELIX-I)

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the clinical performance of PRO-Kinetic Energy stent in subjects with atherosclerotic disease of native coronary arteries.

Measuring the Activated Clotting Time in patients receiving unfractionated heparin prior to coronary angiography and intervention. A single-centre validation study comparing different blood sampling sites

This study aims at establishing the influence of sampling site on the variability of ACT measurement at the end of coronary angiography or PCI.

Study of the relation between biomarker patterns and the incidence of recurrent coronary events during 1-year follow-up in patients who were hospitalised for an acute coronary syndrome; BIOMarker Study to identify the Acute risk of a Coronary Syndrome (BIOMArCS)

Describe the relation between patterns in biomarkers of vascular inflammation, plaque instability and hypercoagulability and the incidence of recurrent ACS

A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial to compare the effect of treatment on plaque burden as determined by intravascular ultrasound and to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of MDCO-216 given as multiple weekly infusions in subjects with a recent acute coronary syndrome.

Primary ObjectivesTo evaluate the effect of MDCO-216 treatment on the change in PAV of a target coronary artery as measured by IVUS imaging following five weekly infusions of MDCO-216 (20 mg/kg) compared with placebo in subjects with a recent ACS.…

Role of different phosphate binders on absorption of vitamin K, metabolism of matrix *-carboxy-glutamaat (Gla) proteïne (MGP).

This research will have as aim to look at progression or decrease of vascular calcification in dialysis population with use of different phosphate binders. There is a possibility that differect phosphate binders bind vitamin K in a different way in…

Pressure-Flow Measurements Directly after Primary PCI to Predict Late Occurrence of Microvascular Obstruction

In the present study we aim to determine the value of microvascular resistance measurements in the acute setting to predict the occurrence of MVO in the following days, using the combined pressure-flow wire. Therefore patients with an acute MI will…

Early Beta blocker Administration before reperfusion in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction who are planned to undergo primary PCI

The primary objective of this randomized trial is to assess the beneficial effects of early administration of 5 mg Metoprolol intravenously before reperfusion on infarct size in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction who are planned to…

A Prospective, Multi-Center, Non-randomized, Single arm, Open label, Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the NovaCross* Micro-catheter in Facilitating Crossing Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Coronary Lesions.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the NovaCross* micro-catheter when used to facilitate crossing of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions in coronary arteries. The procedure will be conducted on consenting…

Perioperative Transfusion Study (PETS): does a liberal transfusion protocol improve outcome in high-risk cardiovascular patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery?

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a liberal (6.5 mmol/l) transfusion strategy compared to a restrictive (6.0 mmol/l) transfusion strategy lowers the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). MACE is defined as a…
