Filter by:This study is designed to evaluate the routine use of vascular ultrasound as an aid for proper placement of a femoral arterial sheath during cardiac catheterization and peripheral arterial angiography.
The purpose of this study is (1) to determine whether a 3-month exercise rehabilitation program will improve claudication distances, free-living daily physical activity, and health-related quality of life of older, revascularized patients with peripheral arterial disease, and (2) to determine whether the primary mechanisms by which exercise rehabilitation affects the above functional outcomes are through alterations in walking efficiency, peripheral circulation, and cardiopulmonary function.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telcagepant in the treatment of acute migraine in participants with stable vascular disease. Acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP) will be used as an active comparator in this study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that telcagepant 300 mg is superior to placebo.
In an observational multi-centre study (HEROS), the effects of starting treatment with rosuvastatin were assessed, on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievement, in patients with a dissimilar high-risk profile who had not been treated with cholesterol lowering drugs at least in the past three months. Also set-up costs of rosuvastatin treatment and proportional changes in LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were studied.
To investigate whether endovascular revascualrization of infrainguinal arterial obstructive disease has an effect on brachial artery reactivity
The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of Magnevist (SH L 451 A) at doses of 0.1 mmol/kg and 0.2 mmol/kg in contrast-enhanced 3D-Magnetic Resonance Angiography in three regions (abdominal, femoral, and leg regions) for visualization of arteries, evaluating 179 not assessable: caused by contrast media in the evaluation of structural abnormalities. Magnevist (SH L 451 A) was administered intravenously in a crossover design in patients with arterial disease in the abdominal to leg regions. The safety of the 0.2 mmol/kg dose was also assessed.
To determine whether in the laser Doppler flowmetric parameters characteristic of endothelial dysfunction at patients with clinically manifest atherosclerosis any change can be detected at plavix (clopidogrel) treatment. Laser Doppler /LD/ measurement combined with iontophoresis evaluates the effect of acetylcholine /ACh/ /endothelium dependent/ and sodium nitroprusside /NSP/ /endothelium independent/ on the microcirculation of the skin
The primary objective of this study is to compare the performance of the CYPHER SELECTTM + Sirolimus-eluting Balloon-expandable Coronary and Infrapopliteal Stent over balloon angioplasty in de novo and restenotic native below the knee tibioperoneal, anterior and/or posterior tibial and/or peroneal arterial lesions in a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical study.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the long-term (up to 12 months) outcome of the 200 mm long self-expanding nitinol EverFlex (ev3) stent in long femoropopliteal lesions (TASC C & D) Is is the first time that the use of 200 mm long stents will be evaluated in these lesions. It is expected that the outcome of the treatment with this type of long stents will be better as the treatment of identical lesions lengths with multiple shorter stents.
This investigation is designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the 4.0-5.0mm AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter (AngioScore, Inc.) for femoropopliteal use in a controlled clinical investigation. The scoring balloon is a semi-compliant balloon encircled by 3 spiral struts with a nitinol scoring element, which theoretically provides targeted scoring of lesions, by concentrating the dilation force thus minimizing barotrauma, elastic recoil and uncontrolled dissection. This may improve the outcome of the intervention and reduce the number of stents required.
