Filter by:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) due to leg artery blockages can result in painful leg muscles, skin ulcers and infection due to poor blood flow. In severe forms, the only treatment may be amputation. Adult stem cells injected into affected legs may cause new blood vessel formation and improve blood flow. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of injecting adult stem cells into the leg muscles of patients with severe PAD, in an attempt to improve blood flow.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the additional therapy with low dose urokinase is more effective than only a conventional standard therapy concerning ulcer-healing, rate of major amputation and survival.
The aim of the study is to compare PTFE-graft bypass surgery versus Viabahn endoprosthesis for femoropopliteal arterial occlusion in intermittent claudication and critical ischaemia in patients who would be technically amenable for both treatments. The primary objective is to compare primary patencies of the two treatments. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate secondary patency, functional status, the quality of life and costs of the new endovascular therapy.
This investigation is designed to assess the immediate and long-term angiographic patency outcomes of excimer laser recanalisation followed by PTA in the treatment of long (>50 mm) infrapopliteal lesions in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) The Spectranetics Turbo elite™ excimer laser catheters are percutaneous intravascular devices constructed of multiple optical fibers around a guidewire lumen. The laser catheters transmit ultraviolet energy from the Spectranetics CVX-300® Excimer Laser System to the obstruction in the artery. The ultraviolet energy is delivered to the tip of the laser catheter to photo-ablate fibrous, calcific and atheromatous lesions, thus recanalizing diseased vessels.
This study aims at investigating the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography using the contrast agent Vasovist® in the detection of relevant vascular narrowing of the lower extremity. Patients who have been scheduled for intra-arterial conventional angiography are eligible for this trial.
The primary patency of the GORE PROPATEN Vascular Graft is equivalent to or better than disadvantaged autologous vein graft in an infragenicular peripheral bypass application at 12 months.
The hypothesis behind the trial is the concept that Pregabalin is effective in reducing pain at rest in lower limb ischemia, and the study evaluates active treatment or placebo added to the regular pain regimens for these patients.
The purpose of this study is to directly compare the safety and efficacy of intra-thrombus alfimeprase 0.3 mg/kg with placebo in acute peripheral arterial occlusion (PAO) as measured by a 30 day open vascular free surgery rate.
The main objective of this study is to assess the patency rate of the nitinol self-expandable stent device in the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions as compared to angioplasty only.
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin administration in patients with acute peripheral arterial occlusion.
