Filter by:Centralized Pan-Algerian Survey on the undertreatment of hypercholesterolemia. The purpose of this study is to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the Third Joint European Task Force guidelines in the survey population.
A prospective study, proof-of concept, randomized, controlled, parallel groups, simple blind was performed in 30 male patients (50-60 years old) with Intermittent Claudication (Rutherford category 1-2) recently diagnosed and clinical manifestations not exceeding 6 months with hypertension and/or dyslipidemia as unique co-morbility disorders. After a period of stabilization of the claudication distance in the Stress test (12.5%, 3.2 km/h) during 2 weeks, were randomized 1:1 to the experimental arm (Bosentan 62.5 mg twice daily/four weeks and 125 mg twice daily/eight weeks) or control group.
Rehabilitation is the first intention treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with claudication. Initially proposed in the sixty's, rehabilitation programs dedicated to patients with PAD have recently been proved effective and defined in many guidelines. Supervised walking training on treadmill is recommended. Usually patients walk up to a mild or moderate pain (evaluated at 3 or 4 on the claudication pain scale; maximum pain =5), then stop until pain completely subsides and walk again . The Artex study assesses the efficacy of a fractionated mode of training avoiding pain by alternating short sequences of intensive training and active recovery (without rest).
Several studies have shown that stenting of the femoropopliteal artery in the lower leg leads to improved overall results compared to balloon angioplasty alone. However, scar tissue development can occur within the stent, a process called restenosis. Treatment of these in-stent restenotic lesions has a high procedural success rate but recurrence of scar tissue is frequently seen. Several methods have been proposed to treat in-stent restenosis in the lower leg arteries but mixed results have been noted. In this study we hypothesize that simultaneous tissue excision and aspiration using the JetStream Navitus device (Medrad) can lead to a high rate of acute procedural success with low intraprocedural complications and an acceptable recurrence rate of restenosis at 6-month follow-up.
Evaluate the possibility of optimization of therapy with prostanoids (iloprost), in patients with Fontaine's stage IIb severe chronic ischemia, both in patients eligible for surgery both in patients for which it is only possible medical therapy
This study is to evaluate symptomatic changes and safety before and after the administration of Pletaal® SR Capsules based on Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ) in subjects with peripheral arterial disease symptom due to chronic occlusive arterial disease (COAD).
The association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has mostly been studied using broad endpoints or have focused on cause-specific mortality. The investigators aim to compare the effect of body mass index (BMI) on different types of initial presentation of CVD.
The hypothesis of this proposal is that in subjects with PAD, regular consumption of a high nitrate supplement which raises plasma nitrite, in conjunction with 12 weeks of supervised exercise training at the limb ischemic threshold (SET) will produce a greater clinical benefit (increases in COT and PWT) than placebo plus supervised exercise at the limb ischemic threshold (PET).
This post-approval study is designed to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the EverFlex™ Self-Expanding Stent System for the treatment of atherosclerotic superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal arteries.
A multi-center, post-CE Mark study designed to evaluate the performance of the Intact Vascular Tack-IT Endovascular Stapler™ in subjects with vascular flaps (e.g.; post-angioplasty dissection) resulting from percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) of superficial femoral or popliteal artery(ies).
