Filter by:The ILLUMENATE Pivotal PAS is a continued follow-up study which will include 300 subjects from forty-three (43) sites across the United States and Austria previously enrolled in the ILLUMENATE Pivotal pre-market study to evaluate the Stellarex DCB compared to the PTA control device for the treatment of de-novo or post-PTA occluded/stenotic or reoccluded/restenotic (except for in-stent) SFA and/or popliteal arteries.
HI-PAD is a placebo controlled double-blind randomized pilot clinical trial to determine whether VM202 may improve walking ability in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The GIFT pilot study will investigate the optimal subcutaneous dose and safety of subcutaneously administered unacylated ghrelin in older people with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen pressure during walking allows to estimate the importance of ischemia, bilaterally and segment of limb by segment of limb. The determination of the metabolic compounds concentration, with metabolomic approach, is emerging in physiology and exercise. This pilot study focuses on the feasibility of the metabolomics analysis with micro method , by capillary drawing from earlobe sampling, for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD)
The registry is a prospective, multicenter, single arm post-market real-world registry in China assessing the clinical use, safety and outcomes of the Orchid 035 DCB Catheter in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and Popliteal Arteries (PA).
To our knowledge, the measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen pressure during walking is the only continuous method that estimates the importance of ischemia, bilaterally and segment of limb by segment of limb. The determination of the lactates concentration, with micro method from earlobe sampling, is very widely validated in physiology and exercise physiopathology; and it is widely used, by laboratories, for exercise investigation in athletes. We use it in routine to evaluate the presence of functional limitation during tcpO2 tests on a treadmill. The present study hypothesises a significant relationship between lactatemia variation (difference between lactatemia after 3 minutes of recovery from walking and the value at rest) and tcpO2 "decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROP) values for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Background: The plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3-n-3) may reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including incident myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and peripheral artery disease. However, the results of previous studies have been inconsistent. Objectives: To investigate the associations between dietary intake of ALA, adipose tissue content of ALA, and the risk of the major atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases incident myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and subtypes, and peripheral artery disease. Methods: This project will be based on data from the Danish cohort study Diet, Cancer and Health which consisted of 57,053 men and women at recruitment between 1993 and 1997. Dietary intake of ALA will be assessed using a validated semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire and adipose tissue content will be determined with the use of gas chromatography analyses of adipose tissue biopsies collected at baseline. Also, detailed information on lifestyle factors, medical history and anthropometri was collected at baseline. Incident cases have been identified through national registries and the diagnoses have previously been validated. Analyses of dietary intake of ALA will be analysed using a traditional cohort design, whereas analyses on adipose tissue content of ALA will be analysed based on a case-cohort design. Hazard ratioes with 95% confidence intervals will be used to describe the associations between the exposure variables and the outcome variables of interest.
The overall goal of SHOWME-PAD is to make the existing evidence-base on treatment outcomes -focusing on health status outcomes that reflect the patients' perspective - more transparently available to patients and providers, such that more informed, evidence-based shared treatment decisions occur. INTEGRITY-PAD has the potential to radically reorganize care delivery to patients with PAD such that more value for the patient and society will be created.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects 8-18 million in the US and is an economic burden, currently estimated to be greater than cancer and heart disease. Older age (> 65 years), smoking, diabetes and kidney diseases are some risk factors associated with PAD and are known to have increased morbidity and mortality.Early detection is critical for mitigating PAD progression. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) testing is recommended by the US Preventative Services Task Force as an affordable and effective screening tool for evaluating PAD risk. QuantaFlo™ (Semler Scientific, Inc.) is a novel, noninvasive, 510K FDA approved digital device that is used as a screening tool to measure ABI of patients at risk of PAD. This single center prospective clinical trial will evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of digital ABI in detecting PAD using color Doppler ultrasound and 'gold standard' angiography as reference. Specifically in patient undergoing dialysis and who cannot undergo ABI using pressure cuffs dialysis grafts/ fistulae in the arms, we will evaluate the value of digital ABI in detecting PAD.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by blockages in the leg arteries. PAD limits patients' walking ability and quality of life. For patients with PAD, home exercise programs can improve walking ability and quality of life. In many patient populations, walking more than 5,000 steps a day is associated with better health. Currently, the benefit of walking more than 5,000 steps a day in patients with PAD has not been well studied. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare two different home exercise programs in patients with PAD: walking at least 5,000 steps a day with the help of fitness monitors vs. walking 45 consecutive minutes for 3 to 5 days a week (a common exercise prescription for PAD). This study has the potential to demonstrate that, with the help of fitness monitors, walking at least 5,000 steps a day can improve walking ability and quality of life for patients with PAD.
