Filter by:Open surgery for aneurysmal aortic disease can lead to cardiac, renal, pulmonary or muscular complications, essentially due to the aortic clamping. Ischemic preconditioning can be useful in order to decrease these complications. The investigators would like to use an ischemic preconditioning protocol during open surgery of aortic aneurysm in order to decrease these complications.
The purpose of this study is to establish the effectiveness of the combined drug approach (anti-thrombin III, infliximab, apotransferrin, human recombinant erythropoietin beta, C1-inhibitor, glutathione, alfa-tocopherol, melatonin and epoprostenol)aimed to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury during liver transplantation in eligible recipients.
The aim of the CARDIOBASE Bern PCI registry is to collect baseline clinical and procedural data as well as to assess the clinical outcomes of all patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Bern University Hospital. All patients undergoing PCI with or without stent implantation will be prospectively registered. Device use is according to the decision of the treating physician and independent of this registry. At hospital discharge and one year, the following outcomes will be assessed: death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, repeat revascularisation, stent thrombosis, stroke, bleeding, renal failure and vascular complications.
The purpose of this registry is to assess clinical outcomes, and different factors that may affect these clinical outcomes such as systems of care, associated with the use of Covidien market-released neurothrombectomy devices intended to restore blood flow in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke due to large intracranial vessel occlusion.
Foot ulceration usually precedes more serious foot complications such as infection, gangrene or amputation. The risk of developing foot ulcers has been estimated to be higher in individuals with kidney disease. Patients with kidney disease receiving dialysis have an increased prevalence of critical limb ischemia. Carbon dioxide (CO2) foot bathing has been reported to improve subcutaneous microcirculation. The proposed clinical study will evaluate the therapeutic potential of CO2 enriched water (produced by the Carbothera device) on treating foot ulcers in patients with critical limb ischemia and undergoing hemodialysis. Forty individuals how have a distal extremity ulcer who are currently undergoing hemodialysis will participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Magnetic Resonance Imaging may predict the risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage for patients with ischemic stroke who receive indefinite oral anticoagulation
To perform an exploratory single center randomized study that will form the basis for a larger scale, more definitive randomized clinical trial to determine the optimal time after stroke for intensive motor training. The investigators will perform a prospective exploratory study of upper extremity (UE) motor training delivered at higher than usual intensity at three different time points after stroke: - early (initiated within 30 days) - subacute/outpatient (initiated within 2-3 months) - chronic (initiated within 6-9 months) The control group will not receive the therapy intervention during the 1-year study. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, pre-treatment, post-treatment, 6 months and one year after stroke onset. Compared to individuals randomized during the outpatient (2-3 months after stroke onset) or chronic (6-9 months after stroke onset) time points, participants randomized to early intensive motor training will show greater upper extremity motor improvement measured at one year post stroke.
Multi-center study to optimize below the knee (BTK) balloon angioplasty results by creating tissue apposition in peripheral arteries with Reference Vessel Diameter's (RVD) ranging from 1.5mm to 4.5mm.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether super-selective intra-arterial administration of verapamil immediately following successful intra-arterial thrombolysis is safe as a potential neuroprotective agent. Standard procedures are cerebral angiography and intra-arterial thrombolysis (intra-arterial administration of tPA and/or mechanical thrombectomy). Experimental procedure is superselective injection of verapamil intra-arterially.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Tissue Genesis® Icellator Cell Isolation System™ in Critical Limb Ischemia. The Icellator System™ device removes certain cells from the adipose (fat) tissue which will be used to treat patients with blockages in the arteries of their lower legs that may require a future amputation, which is caused by severe peripheral artery disease (PAD). The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with cells that have been removed from the Icellator System™ device will reduce the number of major amputations and deaths in a six month time period.
