Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
miRNome analysis
The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques will be used to identify miRNome picture as potential biomarkers for acute and chronic coronary syndrome.

Study Arms (1)
subjects with clinical indication for coronary angioplasty
Twenty subjects with acute or chronic coronary syndrome that will be underwent to angioplasty procedure according to standard clinical practice.
Interventions
Before and after angioplasty, blood samples upstream and downstream of the coronary lesion will be taken, arterial sampling at the aortic root level will be performed, and peripheral venous blood will be collected.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients affected by Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Chronic Coronary Syndrome (CCS) with clinical indications for coronary angiography, demonstrating the presence of significant coronary artery disease.
You may qualify if:
- Clinical indication for the PCI procedure according to the latest ESC (European Society of Cardiology) Guidelines
- Coronary stenosis treated with angioplasty must be located in the proximal segments of the three main vessels: IVA, CX and CD
- The vessels must have a diameter of their mid-distal section ≥ 3 mm
- Patients with NSTEMI ACS and clinical indication with favorable anatomy for coronary angioplasty, also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), (for the ACS group)
- Patients with clinically incipient SCC with stable angina (or significant anginal equivalents) and clinical indication with favorable anatomy for PCI (for the SCC group)
You may not qualify if:
- Contraindications to anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy
- Extensive calcifications and/or tortuosity of the major epicardial segments
- Evidence of thrombotic occupation
- Patients with hemodynamic instability
- Patients with EF (ejection fraction) \< 35%
- Patients with severe chronic renal failure (e-GFR \< 30 mL/min)
