Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The use of coronary stents has optimized the results of coronary balloon angioplasty for two reasons:

  1. reduced acute complications, such as acute and subacute occlusion, as well as the need of urgent myocardial revascularization;
  2. reduced coronary restenosis. STRESS and BENESTENT 1 pivotal clinical trials7,9 laid the foundations for approval and confirmation of the efficacy of coronary stents. These studies showed a reduction in the binary angiographic restenosis rates from 42.1% to 31.6% (p<0.05) and from 32% to 22% (p=0.02), respectively. The efficacy of coronary stents is due to the fact that these devices reduce the acute elastic recoil and late negative remodeling of coronary arteries because of their capacity to maintain the vessel adequately open without reducing vessel diameter.

Cronus® stent is fabricated in cobalt-chromium. This alloy is currently used cardiovascular stents and permanent implants in orthopedic (hips, knees), dental and maxillofacial surgeries. Guidant and Medtronic have conducted clinical evaluations of stents fabricated with a similar cobalt-chromium alloy and demonstrated safety and efficacy of the investigational devices. Both stents are currently available in the European market.

Phase

Phase

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)
