Filter by:The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual diabetes group visits on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of passive calf muscle stretching in patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The main question it aims to answer are: 1. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves calf muscle and vascular health. 2. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves walking performance. Participants will use inflatable ankle splints for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 4-weeks on both days and 4-weeks of no stretching.
Walking is beneficial for adults with peripheral arterial disease. Benefits include the ability to walk for longer periods and general well being (quality of life). This study will look at two types of delivery methods for a home-based walking program. The walking program includes step count goals, information on healthy walking and motivational messages. The two delivery methods include a web-based delivery and an telehealth delivery. Participants are randomized to either one of the delivery methods or usual care. After 12 weeks participants in the web based or telehealth based groups maybe re-randomized to receive a combination of both web-based and telehealth for a second 12 week period. After 24 weeks, everyone is followed for an additional 12 weeks, so the total time a participant is in the study is 36 weeks. At baseline, 12, 24 and 36 weeks the investigators ask participant to walk (slowly) on a treadmill, perform a six-minute walk test, and several questionnaires on quality of life. Vouchers are provided at each study visit. All participants who complete the study also keep their pedometer.
Verify the effectiveness and safety of rapamycin coated balloon dilation catheter for the treatment of dialysis pathway stenosis or blockage lesions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of patients who received revascularization of the aorta and peripheral artery at Asan Medical Center.
Salvaging a threatened limb is the key therapeutic objective for patients with critical limb ischemia, and the achievement of limb salvage is an independent predictor of patient morbidity and mortality. Despite successful primary endovascular or surgical intervention, the corresponding symptoms of rest pain and/or non-healing ulceration in some patients may continue, and amputation in these patients is unavoidable. It is hypothesized that the functional integrity of the peripheral vascular microcirculation may be impaired in these patients. However, there are currently no techniques that allow direct quantification and visualization of the microcirculation due to the micro-vessel invisibility under angiography. In the coronary circulation, coronary flow reserve (CFR) indicates the capacity for maximal hyperemic blood flow and reveals impaired coronary microvascular function. Studies have shown the clinical significance of measuring microvascular resistance to predict myocardial salvage after myocardial infarction. The study will explore whether this concept of coronary flow reserve can be applied peripherally to patients with critical limb ischemia in order to determine whether measuring peripheral vascular flow reserve can determine the integrity of the microcirculation to predict limb salvage after endovascular intervention.
The Global Vascular Guideline on chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) proposes the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS), a new angiographic scoring system to quantify the anatomic severity of infrainguinal disease in CLTI patients. However, GLASS validation still needs to be completed, and the infrapopliteal (IP) target artery pathway (TAP) was easily influenced by the procedures. Thus the IP target artery could be selected either as the least diseased artery based on angiography or prospectively based on the angiosome concept. So the investigators aim to evaluate its correlation with clinical outcomes after revascularization.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the Thor system in adult (≥ 18 year old) patients with de novo (new, never treated) calcified lesions in infrainguinal (leg) arteries (peripheral artery disease or PAD). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is the Thor system safe in treating these lesions - Does the Thor system work to treat these lesions Participants will: - Receive treatment with the Thor system - Have follow-up visits at Discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months
This is a Phase IIa, multi-centre study conducted at 3 sites in Singapore (SGH and NUHS, KTPH). 70 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) will be randomised in a ratio 1:1 to receive normal saline control or MEDI6570 400mg by monthly subcutaneous injection for 9 months.
The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized pilot study to evaluate the clinical outcome of the plaque atherectomy system followed by the UltrafreeTM drug coated balloon catheter versus the drug coated balloon in patients with chronic long femoropopliteal lesions.
