Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that renal denervation decreases blood pressure and is safe when studied in the absence of antihypertensive medications.
This study will assess the benefit of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device in patients suffering from symptoms and effects of lower limb intermittent claudication.
This study will assess the adjuvant benefit of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device to standard treatment of supervised exercise in patients suffering from symptoms and effects of lower limb Intermittent Claudication.
The objective of this patient registry is to assess the clinical use of the Lutonix 035 DCB PTA Catheter in a heterogeneous patient population in a real world and on-label clinical application.
To gather information on the use of CorMatrix ECM for Vascular Repair in the reconstruction of the femoral artery.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Zimura™ intravitreous injection in combination with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in subjects with Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (IPCV).
The purpose of the COPPER - B study is to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of paclitaxel administration using the OPC for the prevention of restenosis in infrapopliteal de novo and restenotic lesions and occlusions using a novel catheter, the OPC.
Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a disease of the choroidal vasculature, that is often regarded as a sub-type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, PCV response to anti-vascular agents differs from the response of typical AMD. This study aims at describing the evolution of the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in PCV patients, 28 weeks after they receive one injection of intravitreal aflibercept (2mg).
The CART Pilot study was designed to provide preliminary observations (about performance and safety) and generate hypotheses for future studies . The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the performance at one year of second-generation ABSORB Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS)(Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA , USA), the Everolimus Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold, in heart transplant recipients affected by cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and significative coronary stenosis. The secondary objectives are: - to collect data about the procedural and clinical outcomes post-procedure , 30 days, 180 days and at 1,2 and 3-year follow-up, of patients who underwent ABSORB BVS implantation in order to investigate the safety of the device in CAV population; - to evaluate the progression of the disease and the its interactions with the study device by using data derived from multi-imaging invasive techniques. The vascular reparative therapy and in particular the BVS technology showing important advantages in terms of endothelial preservation, adequate vasomotion, and restoration of the media and adventitia of the vessel wall, could represent a new and more effective therapeutic option, compared to bare-metal and drug-eluting stent technologies, for transplanted patients, since all these mechanisms may, at least in part, counteract the detrimental changes leading to CAV, namely constrictive remodeling and rapid atherosclerosis progression. Subjects enrolled into the clinical study will be male or female derived from the heart transplant recipients population of every participating center. The clinical study will enroll 30 subjects. Subjects, who underwent the yearly expected coronary angiography follow-up after heart transplant surgery, meeting the general and angiographic inclusion and exclusion criteria (eligibility will be assessed by Heart Team consensus) will be asked to sign an informed consent form. Subjects who do not meet inclusion and exclusion criteria are subject to the standard follow-up of heart transplant (HTx) recipients and will undergo to an invasive evaluation after 365 ± 28 days. The study comprises two distinct phases: - the enrollment phase which starts with the recruitment of the first subject and it is planned to last one year; - the follow-up phase which is planned to last three years from the enrollment of the last patient. The total duration of the study will be of four years, including both the enrollment and the follow-up phases
Although most patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome or acute ischemic stroke in South Asian countries receive these evidence-based treatments, their overall continuation in the outpatient phase of care remains low. Patient from Pakistan are uniquely challenged in this respect because the overall literacy rates remain one of the lowest in Pakistan among South Asian Countries. In addition, a great majority of Pakistani patients often do not understand or follow health prescriptions (which are still written in English). Additionally, due to an unregulated health industry, they frequently take multiple opinions and prescriptions from different physicians. The investigators propose to develop a "talking prescription" for patients with stroke or myocardial infarction for secondary prevention. This will enable them to understand their medications better, improve health literacy and adherence. This is an IT enabled health literacy intervention. Physicians will prescribe statin and/or antiplatelet to the selected patients and enter the necessary details on an Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet.Patients will be assigned to either of the 2 arms--either regular care or talking prescriptions. Follow-up will be done at 3 months post recruitment for behavioral knowledge assessment and adherence assessment.
