Filter by:The aim of the study is to analyze the applicability (usability) of a tele-health service as part of a potential disease management program for patients with peripheral arterial disease. The following investigations will be conducted as part of the usability study. In the context of a tele-health service, knowledge, physical condition (including walking distance) will be documented during face-to-face and televisits, dislocated supervised gait training and education will be provided, and satisfaction with the tele-health service will be evaluated.
This randomized study focuses on the diagnostic quality and safety of CO2 application as contrast medium through an innovative injector of AngioDroid in angiography interventions in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive diseases.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases in developed countries [1] and is an emerging problem in developing countries [2, 3]. The prevalence of PAD in European population studies ranged from 3.6 to 9.2 % and 10-20 % in those aged over 70 years [4]. In a recent meta-analysis, the prevalence of PAD in China increased gradually by age until mid-60s, after which the increase accelerated. In the early stages, PAD is mostly silent. With the progression of disease, it may manifest as intermittent claudication, pain at rest, non-healing ulcer and gangrene resulting in lower-extremity amputation [5]. PAD is a major cause of disability, loss of employment, and lifestyle changes, and is a marker for systemic atherosclerotic diseases. Patients with symptomatic PAD have at least a 30% risk of death within 5 years rising to almost 50% within 10 years, resulting primarily from myocardial infarction or stroke [4]. Despite the major health risks associated with PAD, it is generally not recognized by clinicians or the general public in comparison with other cardiovascular diseases. However, asymptomatic individuals also have higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events similar to those with symptomatic PAD [6]. Many studies have shown that public awareness of PAD is much lower than that of other diseases. It has been reported that awareness of PAD ranged from 20 to 36 %, whereas awareness of other common diseases was more than 60 % in the same population [6-9]. Awareness is important for patients and physicians, and the need for public awareness programs has been highlighted [10, 11]. There is paucity of published literature on public awareness of PAD in Asian countries. It is difficult to reduce the morbidity and mortality of untreated PAD without adequate public awareness of PAD and its risk factors and consequences [7]. Insights into public awareness of PAD will help in developing strategies for behavioral change communication and health promotion. In this study we aimed to assess awareness of PAD among adults in Hong Kong. The survey is designed to measure knowledge of factors that increase the risk for PAD and the clinical risk consequences of having PAD. These data will provide useful information to guide future local public cardiovascular educational efforts.
POLYTHESE® study is a retrospective, observational, multicentre, case series which examine short and long-term outcomes of using POLYTHESE®. This study will be done on Real World Data to describe the safety and performance of the device. PMCF Study.
The objectives of this study are: Evaluation of ultra-low iodine load CTA protocols of the aorta and lower extremities. To investigate whether dual-layer in combination with with virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) allows for reduction of contrast medium (CM) in CTA of the aorta and lower limbs i with sustained objective and subjective image quality parameters.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the pain level patients after angioography. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces pain levels and stabilizes hemodynamic variables.
The rationale of this study is to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of any of these products in a real-word population of 100 patients who underwent an endovascular intervention within standard-of-care (SOC) of the infra-popliteal vessels, using at least one of the products (named above) from Cordis US Corp.
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate acute safety and efficacy of the S.M.A.R.T. RADIANZ™ Vascular Stent System, when used with the BRITE TIP RADIANZ™ Guiding Sheath and SABERX RADIANZ™ PTA Balloon Catheter, to deploy the S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent, in the treatment of patients with obstructive iliac or femoropopliteal arterial disease via radial artery access.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of interlocking detachable coils system in the treatment of Chinese patients with embolization of peripheral arterial in comparison with Interlock Fibered IDC Occlusion System
NICE guidelines recommend an Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) as the primary assessment tool for patients presenting with symptoms or are at a high risk of developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD). An ABPI is typically performed using a hand-held Doppler to listen and classify the arterial signal in the ankle and arm and the systolic pressure is taken in each to create a ratio of the pressure in the ankle to the arm. New Huntleigh Dopplex DMX Digital Dopplers within the vascular department have an arterial waveform display to help interpretation of the audible signal. This study aims to compare the audible and visual waveform traces on the Huntleigh Dopplex with the gold standard of ultrasound duplex to assess the accuracy of the trace using diagnostic measurements and the ability of clinicians to correctly identify audible and visual waveforms.
