Filter by:The utility of GP1101 will be evaluated relative to that of surgical bypass in the treatment of Femoral/Popliteal Arterial Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease. Efficacy will be measured by comparison to a Surgical Bypass Efficacy Goal, and Invasiveness will be measured by comparison to Surgical Bypass data derived from a retrospective study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of drug-eluting balloon angioplasty followed by nitinol stent implantation versus nitinol stent implantation in superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether intramuscular injections of NL003 into the calf is safe and effective in the treatment of critical limb ischemia
Patients submitted to noncardiac surgeries are at increased risk of serious cardiovascular complications. Statins have shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular events in other scenarios. The objective of this study is to explore the effects of atorvastatin, as compared with placebo, on the 30-day risk of a composite of death, nonfatal Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS), or stroke among patients who undergo noncardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the procedural safety and effectiveness of the Phoenix Atherectomy™ System for the treatment of de novo and restenotic atherosclerotic lesions located in the native peripheral arteries. The Phoenix Atherectomy™ System is intended for use in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The intended peripheral vessels include the Superficial Femoral, Popliteal, and Infrapopliteal arteries. The system is not intended for use in the coronary, carotid, iliac or renal vasculature. The results of this study will be used to support a 510(k) submission to the Food and Drug Administration.
Little is known about chronic wound microenvironments, especially in peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and diabetic patients. At the demarcation line, the percentage of viable cells and tissue is unclear. A means to determine cell viability, particularly discerning an apoptotic or necrotic cell pathway would indicate where the line of demarcation should be drawn. The information generated would better predict clinical outcome using SPY Imaging. Cellular studies are needed to successfully confirm a clear line of demarcation to eliminate surgeon subjectivity.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the potential of dalcetrapib to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD), with CHD risk equivalents or at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either dalcetrapib 600 mg orally daily or placebo orally daily, on a background of contemporary, guidelines-based medical care. Anticipated time on study treatment is 4 years.
The purpose of this study is to test if dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory medication approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), can be injected safely into the tissue around the blood vessel wall at the time of an angioplasty or atherectomy.
Background and rationale: In clinical practice, antihypertensives are generally prescribed for use in the morning, whereas some statins are recommended for use in the evening. There is evidence that the reduction in LDL cholesterol achieved with some statins is superior when taken in the night, but it is unclear whether the additional reduction in LDL cholesterol(and the reported improvement in BP control when aspirin is taken in the evening) is offset by a reduction in adherence when taking medication in the evening. Current product labelling recommends night use for simvastatin and does not state a timing preference for aspirin or blood pressure lowering medicines. There is therefore uncertainty concerning the best timing of administration of the polypill. This uncertainty will be addressed by this trial. Trial design: Randomised, open label cross over trial (n=75) of the polypill in the morning compared with the evening administration compared with individual agent administration (acetylsalicylic acid and blood pressure lowering agents in the morning, and statin in the evening) in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Patients will be recruited to the RHP 2c (acetylsalicylic acid 75mg, simvastatin 40mg, lisinopril 10mg, hydrochlorthiazide 12.5mg), and will be randomly allocated to the sequence of time of administration.
This is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center monitored trial recruiting patients with critical limb ischemia and with one or more lesions in the arteries below the knee. The immediate and long-term (up to 12 months) outcome of the PROMUS ELEMENT Everolimus-Eluting Stent System (Boston Scientific) and the PROMUS ELEMENT PLUS Everolimus-Eluting Stent System (Boston Scientific) will be evaluated. In 2 Belgian centers, 3 German centers and 1 New Zealand center a total of 70 patients will be recruited. Primary endpoint is primary patency at 12 months, defined as absence of restenosis (≥50% stenosis) or occlusion within the originally treated lesion based on angiography.
