Filter by:The purpose of the BIOLUX P-III Spain registry is to further investigate the safety and clinical performance of the Passeo-18 Lux Drug Coated Balloon in the treatment of long atherosclerotic femoropoliteal artery lesions in daily clinical practice
This study aims to determine the extent to which pre-existing long-term conditions are associated with survival following a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) using observational data from the UK's national heart attack register.
Unifusol (R) is a solution of arginine sodium succinate for intravenous infusions. Its effects include vasodilation, protection of inner layer of blood vessels and improvement of blood viscosity. The present phase I study is aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Unifusol infusions in healthy volunteers.
Microcirculation should be assessed before and after tibial bypass surgery by intraoperative fluorescence angiography. According to this, the direct and the indirect angiosomes should be compared according to the individual microcirculatory improvement.
Diagnosis of vascular involvement in diabetic foot disease remains challenging. Differential diagnosis between pure neuropathic or neuro-ischemic diabetic foot requires a combination of clinical examination, medical history and ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement, which is considered the "gold standard" non-invasive modality for limb ischemia diagnosis. However, in diabetic patients with suspected arterial ischemia resulting in tissue loss (critical limb ischemia; CLI), false negative ABI results are frequent due to Monckeberg medial sclerosis producing incompressible vessels, while clinical signs are subjective and not accurate in posing definite diagnosis of CLI. The investigators conducted a proof of concept study of the feasibility of microwave radiometry thermometry for non-invasive diagnosis of CLI in diabetic patients with tissue loss.
To assess preliminary safety and efficacy of the Serranator™ Alto PTA Serration Balloon Catheter in subjects with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease of the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries.
prospective interventional study. The aim is to analyse the effect of usual ongoing treatments over the microvascular cutaneous response to galvanic current application (Current induced vasodilation ; CIV) on the forearm of subjects referred for ultrasound investigations due to suspicion of peripheral artery disease. Hypothesis is that the use of aspirin (even at low dose) abolishes the response .
To assess the safety and efficacy of the paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon IN.PACT 014 versus conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the treatment of patients with chronic total occlusions in the infrapopliteal arteries.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Paclitaxel Eluting Hemodialysis Shunt Balloon Dilatation Catheter (APERTO) compared with the Balloon Dilatation catheter (OHICHO II) for the treatment of Arteriovenous Fistulae Stenosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterized by lower limb arterial obstruction due to atherosclerosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods can accurately quantify atherosclerotic plaque in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in patients with PAD. Such techniques have demonstrated plaque regression with statin therapy over 1 year. Alirocumab is a PCSK9 inhibitor that effectively reduces LDL cholesterol up to 70% in patients on statins or intolerant to statins. The investigators hypothesize that effective low density lipoprotein (LDL) lowering with Alirocumab 150m subcutaneously (SQ) every 2 weeks will regress atherosclerotic plaque in the SFA in patients with PAD over one year compared to placebo. 54 patients with mild-moderate PAD (ankle brachial index or ABI 0.4-0.9) will be randomized to alirocumab 150 mg SQ every 2 weeks or matching placebo at the University of Virginia (UVA) (n=34) and Northwestern (n=20). The primary endpoint is change in atherosclerotic plaque volume in the superficial femoral artery over the 1 year treatment period. Secondary endpoints include changes in peak calf muscle perfusion after thigh cuff occlusion/hyperemia, 6-minute walk distance, and blood biomarkers (LDL cholesterol, fibrinogen, high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and lipoprotein(a).
