Filter by:The objective of this study is to investigate what the value is of SET after a radiological or surgical intervention for peripheral arterial disease in the aorto-iliacal, femoro-popliteal and crural segments in comparison with a control group.
This is a Belgian prospective multicentre registry on the performance of the Smart stent in the superficial femoral artery according to the new tasc II-classification.
The maximal walking distance (MWD) performed on treadmill (TT) remains the gold standard in estimating the walking capacity of patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with intermittent claudication, although treadmills are not accessible to most physicians. We hypothesized that global positioning system (GPS) recordings could monitor community-based outdoor walking and provide valid information on walking capacity in PAD patients.
We seek to determine if the use of the SafeSeal(TM) topical hemostasis patch is associated with reductions in time to hemostasis and time to ambulation compared to standard manual compression after arterial sheath removal following percutaneous coronary and peripheral intervention. We further seek to assess the safety of the SafeSeal patch compared to manual compression.
The purpose of this first-in-man study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Dynalink®-E everolimus eluting peripheral stent system for the treatment of patients with atherosclerotic de novo or restenotic native superficial femoral and proximal popliteal lesions. Abbott Vascular is ceasing data analysis of the STRIDES Clinical Trial after 2 years. The decision to discontinue the study is not related to any safety concern. The rationale for this proposal is based on the following considerations: The performance of DYNALINK-E from STRIDES shows no device- or procedure-related deaths and no stent fractures, and the rate of additional revascularizations has been stable since approximately 14 months after the procedure. Evaluations of the bare metal nitinol DYNALINK and ABSOLUTE stents in the clinical literature show low rates of death, reintervention and stent fracture, which are consistent with STRIDES and demonstrate the safety of the nitinol stent platform of the DYNALINK-E. Long-term animal studies show no concerns with the drug or polymer coating of DYNALINK-E - everolimus tissue concentration drops below the quantifiable limit by approximately 17 months after implant, and vascular response to the coating is normal with widely patent lumens and struts incorporated into vessel tissue. The safety and performance of the DYNALINK-E has been substantiated by its clinical and pre-clinical data, and by the clinical data of similar products. Given the demonstrated mechanical integrity of the stent along with the evidence of a healthy long-term vascular response, there is a reasonable expectation of continued low event rates.
The PACCOCATH FEM study is a randomized, double-blinded German multicenter trial on the efficacy and tolerance of a paclitaxel coated balloon catheter in prevention of restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous Vascular Repair Cells (VRC) for patients with peripheral arterial disease as a treatment for critical limb ischemia. The double-blind study is expected to enroll 150 patients, randomized into two patient groups. The treatment group will receive intramuscular (IM) injections of the VRCs into the affected limb; the control group will receive intramuscular injections with an electrolyte solution (without cells). Both groups will receive the standard of care appropriate for their medical condition.
The primary aim is to assess the effects of raising HDL cholesterol (the good type) with extended release niacin/laropiprant 2g (previously known as MK−0524A) versus matching placebo on the risk of heart attack or coronary death, stroke, or the need for arterial bypass procedures (revascularisation) in people with a history of circulatory problems. The secondary aim is to assess the effects of extended release niacin/laropiprant 2g daily on heart attack, coronary death, stroke, and revascularisation separately and to assess the effects on mortality both overall and in various categories of causes of death, and of the effects on major cardiovascular events in people with a history of different diseases at the beginning of the study.
The purpose of this study is to test a correction factor which would allow ankle brachial indexes taken in the seated position to accurately predict an ankle brachial index taken in the supine position.
The primary objective is to investigate in patients suffering from intermittent claudication due to Fontaine stage II Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) whether a 26-week treatment by HMR1766 on top of clopidogrel may result in an improvement of walking capacity, by comparing three doses of HMR1766 to placebo, and calibrating such effect versus cilostazol.
