Angiographic Core Laboratory Services

Experience and Quality

Our angiographic core laboratory has 20 years of experience in angiographic trials. Dr. Gibson developed many of the endpoints used in angiographic trials such as the TIMI frame count and the TIMI myocardial perfusion grades

Speed

Rapid turnaround of high quality angiographic data is a priority.   For instance, we offer same day analysis of films from dose ranging studies where ongoing decisions are needed as to whether an arm of the trial should be dropped or continued.

Infrastructure

Our core laboratory is equipped with the infrastructure, personnel, and experience to meet the goals and timeline for any type of angiographic study. Our core laboratory has many years of experience receiving mailings from international multicenter trials, some with hundreds of participating centers and many thousands patients.  We have analyzed films from all countries. We can also analyze films loaded from sites or a CRO on the internet.

Services

We  offer the analysis of coronary and peripheral arteriograms from a variety of studies:

• Coronary ACS trials including acute MI, non ST elevation MI and unstable angina

• Adjudication of stent thrombosis

• Coronary and peripheral angiogenesis trials

• Studies of vasomotion and vasomotor tone

• Coronary and peripheral new device trials including novel stent designs

• Distal and proximal protection trials

• Carotid trials

• Renal artery trials

• Peripheral interventional trials

• Imaging modality studies / comparisons with angiography as the gold standard (assessment of myocardial contrast echo agents, agents to improve echo border detection)

• Managed care analyses
