Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of blood flow to the heart when subjects are treated with ticagrelor (Brilinta) or clopidogrel (antiplatelet drugs that stop the blood from clumping together) in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and the inhibition of restenosis of the CVI Paclitaxel-coated PTA Balloon Catheter in the treatment of de-novo occluded/stenotic or reoccluded/restenotic superficial femoral (SFA) or popliteal arteries. The primary endpoint for this analysis is late lumen loss at six (6) months.
Patients with peripheral arterial disease with symptoms of critical ischemia or reduced tissue loss have a very high mortality and morbidity rate. So far, treatment strategies focused on the preservation of life and limb by an open surgical or endovascular revascularization, together with cardiovascular risk management and pain relief. Important modifiable factors related to mortality and morbidity are not covered in the current national and international guidelines. This study investigates the effects on mobility, mortality and quality of life with supplementation of the standard treatment of critical limb ischemia with supervised exercise therapy. Also a reduction of cardiovascular risk by intensive risk factor management and lifestyle coaching will be taken in to account. The supervised exercise therapy will take place under the supervision of a trained physiotherapist.
Pathological and clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that abnormalities in thrombosis and hemostasis play a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis. Screening for abnormalities in thrombosis and hemostasis by measuring platelet activity, thrombin generation, and markers of coagulation have been proposed to identify individuals at high-risk for cardiovascular events, however, it remains a research tool not ready for implementation in standard care. The proposed study will add to the growing understanding of platelet activity and markers of coagulation in cardiovascular disease; examine a comprehensive battery of platelet activity markers, thrombin generation, markers of coagulation, and inflammatory biomarkers in subjects undergoing vascular surgery; and will provide important data on the mechanism of increased platelet activity using micro RNA, RNA and DNA expression profiling. The study design is prospective and the main outcome measures are platelet activity, coagulation markers and incident cardiovascular and bleeding events.
This is a randomized, open-label, single & multiple-dose, three-sequence, three-period crossover study to investigate the effect of sarpogrelate hydrochloride on the disposition of metoprolol tartrate in healthy male volunteers
An evaluation of the safety and performance of the STANZA Drug-eluting Resorbable Scaffold (DRS) system for the treatment of patients with obstructive superficial femoral artery disease.
Investigators hypothesize that high-dose n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) oral supplementation will improve will improve systemic inflammation and patency of peripheral vascular intervention (PVI).
To compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness between purified CD34+ cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in treatment of critical limb ischemia
The purpose of this study is to investigate the current standard of wound care following vascular operations compared to to a negative pressure wound therapy (vacuum dressing) and the rate of surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients undergoing surgery to restore blood flow to the lower limb(s). Negative pressure wound therapy consists of a closed, sealed system that produces negative pressure (vacuum) to the wound surface. The device itself consists of open-cell foam that is sealed with an occlusive adhesive dressing (covers and sticks to the incision) and suction is maintained by connecting suction tubes to a vacuum pump and waste collector. The investigators objectives are to determine whether there will be any reduction in surgical site infection and this potential reduction will influence length of hospital stay, emergency room visits, antibiotic use and need for re-operation.
Evaluation of the Gore(R) VIABAHN BX for the treatment of arterial occlusive disease in the common and/or external iliac arteries.
