Filter by:This trial is for patients with acute occlusion of one of the arteries supplying blood to the leg. The trial is designed to determine the safety and activity of a novel clot dissolving (thrombolytic) drug (alfimeprase).
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the overall safety of different dose regimens of AMG0001 (HGF transferred via plasmid vector) as well as evaluate the improvement of blood perfusion in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI). This study also evaluated the improvement in wound healing without adverse effects on the quality of life, as well as the potential reduction of amputation, mortality and rest pain in the CLI population.
To determine the mechanisms by which atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (PAD) causes functional impairment and to define the degree to which peripheral artery disease associated pathophysiologic findings change over time.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of graft pretreatment with the E2F decoy, CGT003, as compared to placebo, on the occurrence of graft failure among patients who receive autogenous vein grafts to treat chronic critical limb ischemia; on the occurrence of clinically significant graft stenosis (more than or equal to 70%); and on the incidence of critical limb ischemia (e.g., gangrene, non-healing ischemic ulcers or ischemic rest pain).
To investigate associations between hemostatic and inflammatory blood factors and progression of lower extremity arterial ischemia and cardiovascular events in men and women with and without lower extremity peripheral arterial disease.
The Veterans Administration Patient Study examined the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with large vessel PAD or isolated small vessel PAD. The Community Follow-up Study following subjects with and without PAD from a previous cohort to determine subsequent coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.
To determine the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease in a defined population by non-invasive techniques; to evaluate the association of cardiovascular disease risk factors with peripheral vascular disease; to determine whether non-invasive tests of peripheral arterial disease can be utilized as markers for coronary heart disease; to determine the status of the microvasculature using conjunctival photographs and to compare the results with risk factors and the peripheral arterial disease testing results.
The Framingham Heart Study was initiated to study the factors associated with the development of cardiovascular disease by employing long-term surveillance of an adult population in Framingham, Massachusetts. The Framingham Offspring Study was initiated to assess familial and genetic factors as determinants of coronary heart disease.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the susceptibility of subjects to atherosclerosis is influenced by prior CMV exposure, whether the susceptability to endothelial dysfunction in patients with and in patients without atherosclerosis is influenced by prior CMV exposure.
To determine whether combined therapy with the lipid lowering agents colestipol hydrochloride plus niacin would produce significant change in coronary, carotid, and femoral artery atherosclerosis and coronary bypass graft lesions as determined by angiography. Also, to determine possible correlations between lesion changes and plasma lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol levels and to explore interrelationships of atherosclerosis change in femoral, coronary, and carotid arteries.
