Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, single-blind study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CVI Paclitaxel-coated percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon versus bare PTA balloon for the treatment of patients with de novo occluded/stenotic or reoccluded/restenotic lesions of the superficial femoral (SFA) and popliteal arteries.
Rehabilitation is the first intention treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with claudication. Initially proposed in the sixty's, rehabilitation programs dedicated to patients with PAD have recently been proved effective and defined in many guidelines. Supervised walking training on treadmill is recommended. Usually patients walk up to a mild or moderate pain (evaluated at 3 or 4 on the claudication pain scale; maximum pain =5), then stop until pain completely subsides and walk again . The Artex study assesses the efficacy of a fractionated mode of training avoiding pain by alternating short sequences of intensive training and active recovery (without rest).
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare clinical improvement, cost effectiveness and patency rates between new and improved Nitinol stents and open bypass surgery in the superficial femoral artery disease. Secondary outcomes also include comparing quality of life, re-intervention rate, mortality, morbidity and time to return to work or regular activities. Patients with superficial femoral artery lesions will be considered. Patients with TASC II A lesions will not be randomized but treated with PTA/stenting as standard of care. Patients with TASC II B and C lesions will be prospectively randomized into either receiving open bypass or stenting. Patients with TASC D lesions will be treated with open bypass surgery after angiography. The investigators will collect pre-procedure, peri-procedural and clinical follow-up data on all enrolled the patients.
The purpose of the ESPRIT I Clinical Investigation is to evaluate the safety and performance of the ESPRIT BVS in subjects with symptomatic claudication from occlusive vascular disease of the superficial femoral (SFA) or common or external iliac arteries.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate puncture site complication rate as well as the short- and long-term (up to 24 months) outcome of treatment by means of Astron Pulsar / Astron Pulsar-18 stent implantation in symptomatic (Rutherford 2-4) femoro-popliteal arterial stenotic or occlusive lesions, using 4F compatible devices of BIOTRONIK and without the use of a closure device. The hypothesis is that the primary patency at 12 months is non-inferior to the primary patency obtained in the Durability study (72.2%).
The VISIBILITY Iliac study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study confirming the safety and effectiveness of stenting using the Visi-Pro™ Balloon Expandable Stent System for the treatment of stenotic, restenotic or occluded lesions in the common and external iliac artery.
The DURABILITY Iliac study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study confirming the safety and effectiveness of stenting using the Protégé® EverFlex™ and Protégé® GPS™ Self-Expanding Stent Systems for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the common and/or external iliac arteries.
The specific aim of this study is to prospectively compare outcomes (functional, quality of life, risk-adjusted clinical event) of medical management, surgical or endovascular (angioplasty or stent placement) interventions for the treatment of claudication caused by peripheral arterial disease. This study will test two major hypotheses; Hypothesis 1: At 12-months, surgical interventions are associated with greater improvements in function, claudication symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than endovascular procedures or medical management. Hypothesis 2: At 12-months, surgical and endovascular interventions are associated with greater improvements in function, claudication symptoms, and HRQoL than medical management.
The DEFINITIVE AR study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized pilot study evaluating the use of either the TurboHawk™ or SilverHawk® plaque excision systems followed by treatment with the Cotavance™ drug-eluting balloon catheter versus the Cotavance balloon catheter alone in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Hypothesis: Primary long full coverage stenting is superior to primary short spot stenting in the treatment of long (≥80 mm) femoropopliteal artery lesions. Study design : - Prospective, randomized, multi-center study - A total of 220 subjects with symptomatic peripheral artery disease of lower limbs who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included. - Patients will be randomized in a two by two factorial manner according to the strategy of stenting (long versus short stenting) and the additional use of cilostazol. Each randomization of the enrolled subjects will be done 1:1. - Patients will be followed clinically for 1 year after the procedure. - Angiographic or CT follow-up will be performed at 1 year.
