Filter by:The aim of the study is to validate the Korean version of Walking Impairment Questionnaire in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
The objective of IMPACT (Investigation of Motivational Interviewing and Prevention Consults to Achieve Cardiovascular Targets) is to determine the best management strategy for patients undergoing cardiovascular intervention. IMPACT is a prospective randomized trial that will enroll 400 patients post-cardiovascular intervention. The study will compare different cardiovascular prevention strategies: (1) usual care, (2) cardiovascular prevention consult, and (3) cardiovascular prevention consult with a behavioral intervention program over a 6-month period. The trial hypothesis is that for patients undergoing a cardiovascular intervention, a prevention consult and behavioral intervention is superior to usual care in reducing cardiovascular risk. The primary endpoint will be non-HDL cholesterol. Secondary endpoints include other lipid values, metabolic risk, smoking cessation, physical activity, nutritional status, medication adherence and quality of life. IMPACT is scheduled to begin enrollment in the June of 2012.
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the immediate and long-term (up to 12 month) safety and effectiveness of a Nitinol Self-Expanding Paclitaxel-Eluting stent for the treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia (i.e. rest pain or non-healing foot ulcers) due to the presence of arterial lesions in the below-the-knee arteries of maximally 50mm long.
The objective of this prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, post-market, observational study is to compile clinical data on percutaneous techniques used to obtain tibiopedal access and to cross infrainguinal arterial occlusions.
The purpose of this study is to collect safety and efficacy data on the IN.PACT Admiralâ„¢ Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) in treatment of atherosclerotic disease in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries in a "real world" patient population.
There is a sharp rise in the rate of coronary heart disease diagnoses and chest pain consultations in the 90 days before a first heart attack. There is some evidence that chest pain and angina symptoms in this period have a beneficial effect on heart attack outcomes in hospital and shortly after discharge. However, the available evidence is lacking in three key areas. First it is based on a retrospective patient report of symptoms after the heart attack has occurred; this means that patients are required to survive their heart attack and may make errors when reporting prior symptoms. Second, evidence for an effect on longer term outcomes, and coronary outcomes in particular (e.g. coronary death, further heart attacks) are unknown. Third, there is conflicting evidence that these effects might differ by age, in men and women, and according to treatment in hospital. The investigators hope to address the limitations in the evidence by performing a large, prospective study of the occurrence, timing and effect of different types of symptoms and disease diagnoses occurring before heart attack. The investigators hypothesise that prospectively collected, clinical measures of chest pain symptoms and cardiovascular diagnoses in primary care will have a beneficial effect on short term coronary mortality and may have a beneficial effect on longer term coronary outcomes.
To collect data from real-world use with the Chocolate PTA Balloon Catheter to support the effectiveness of the device for use during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) procedures.
This study is designed to develop a clinical registry of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization to describe the population and assess comparative effectiveness of endovascular therapy versus surgery. In addition, this study will conduct a prospective cohort study of patients treated medically or undergoing lower extremity revascularization at the VA and Kaiser Colorado to compare changes in health status.
Nowadays, stenting is became a standard of care in revascularization for superficial femoral artery (SFA) atherosclerotic lesions. However, the Achilles' heel of this technique remains in-stent restenosis (ISR). While most of local therapies have failed to demonstrate significant benefit, studies for the treatment of SFA ISR are lacking and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty remains the current standard of care for this indication. Recent studies have shown successful results of drug eluting balloon in the treatment of SFA de-novo lesions and of coronary ISR. FREERIDE, a French prospective cohort has been set up to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of drug eluting balloon (DEB) for the treatment of SFA atherosclerotic lesions.
The primary objective of the randomized study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TIGRIS Vascular Stent in the treatment of de novo and restenotic atherosclerotic lesions, ≤ 24cm in length, in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries (SFA/PPA) of patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
