Filter by:Evaluation of the Gore(R) VIABAHN BX for the treatment of arterial occlusive disease in the common and/or external iliac arteries.
To study the safety and performance of the Shockwave Medical Lithoplasty System in subjects to demonstrate that the Shockwave device can safely and effectively deliver localized shockwave energy for balloon dilatation of calcified, stenotic, infrainguinal peripheral arteries.
The purpose of this study is to collect acute confirmatory data to evaluate technical success and acute safety of the EverFlex™ self-expanding peripheral stent with Entrust™ delivery system.
This study is intended to collect safety and effectiveness data on the Cook Micronized Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS)
Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD) is a highly prevalent chronic disease. Cardiovascular mortality of LEPAD patients at five years ranges between 18 to 30%. LEPAD is primarily caused by atherosclerosis that induces an inadequate blood flow to meet the tissues demand due to the narrowing of the arteries. An aggravation of the arterial lesions in LEPAD patients induces a worsening of patients' symptoms and a severe limitation of their walking capacity, contributing to an impairment of their quality of life. Despite maintaining a sufficient walking activity is essential for these patients, LEPAD patients lower their physical activity, which worsen the disease and potentially contribute to increase the risk of cardiovascular events and deaths. In a recent study in LEPAD patients, we showed, from a one hour GPS recording, a high variability of the patients' walking capacity (i.e., walking distances between two stops induced by lower limbs pain). Results suggested that in most patients previous stop duration before each walk was a predictor parameter of this walking variability. Whether there is an optimal or minimal recovery time influencing the walking capacity in LEPAD patients has never been studied. This study is a prospective, cross-sectional study in exercise pathophysiology. The main goal is to determine, following a walk that induces ischemia, the influence of the recovery duration on the subsequent walking performance in LEPAD patients. Secondary goals are : 1. To determine the nature of the relationship between the recovery duration and subsequent walking performance. 2. To study the relationship between exercise ischemia, pain evolution and previous recovery duration. 3. To determine whether the experimental procedure influence the determination of an optimal of minimal recovery duration. 4. To study the influence of recovery duration on walking capacity from community-based measurement.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a significant vascular condition affecting millions of adults. Exercise such as walking is highly effective for reducing PAD symptoms such as claudication (pain with walking) and improving physical function. The trial examines the efficacy of a internet-delivered walking program for patients with PAD. Comparator groups including telephone counselling, the combination of internet-delivered walking program + telephone counseling, or usual care. The primary outcome of interest is maximal walking distance.
The purpose of the study is to confirm the feasibility of study procedures and the tolerability of a new dose regimen of AMG0001 in subjects with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI)
This is the second part of a research study in order to determine if using a specialized pulse oximetry probe with external heat pack will help obtain oxygen saturation (SaO2) and heart rate (HR) during monitoring for patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD), vasoconstriction, and hypothermic extremities. The inability to obtain accurate SaO2 and pulse readings can lead to misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, or procedures to be canceled. SaO2 and pulse readings are important to maintain patient stability during diagnostic testing, surgical procedures and monitoring while in critical care areas. Changes in SaO2 and pulse are important to monitor in order to be able to compensate for any decrease in patient oxygen saturations during hemodynamic monitoring. The primary aim of this study is to determine if using a specialized pulse oximetry probe with external heat pack will improve oxygenation readings in order to obtain SaO2 and pulse readings in patients with PVD, vasoconstriction, and hypothermic extremities as compared to readings obtained from an arterial blood gas. The hypothesis is using a specialized pulse oximetry probe with external heat pack will help obtain more accurate pulse oximetry readings consistent with values obtained with an arterial blood gas.
To assess the safety and effectiveness of adventitial deposition of the Study Drug in reducing inflammation and restenosis in patients with clinical evidence of claudication or critical limb ischemia and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. Study Drug and Dose: Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection, USP, 4 mg/ml, with dilute contrast (17%) administered to the adventitia in a dose of 1.6 mg per cm of desired vessel treatment length.
Investigators hypothesize that high-dose n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) oral supplementation will improve systemic inflammation, vascular function, and symptomatic status of patients with PAD. Investigators will explore novel mechanistic pathways by which n-3 PUFA affect PAD, evaluating the role of specialized lipid mediators involved in the resolution of inflammation.
