Filter by:Two thirds of patients with Crohn's disease require intestinal surgery at some time in their life. Intestinal strictures, that is narrowing of the bowel due to inflammation and scarring, are the most common reason for surgery. Despite the high frequency, associated disability, and cost there are no are no treatment strategies that aim to improve the outcome of this disease complication. The STRIDENT (stricture definition and treatment) studies aim to determine biochemical and imaging features associated with the development of strictures and in related STRIDENT studies develop strategies for treatment.
Prospective, randomized, multi-center study. Investigators will compare diagnostic yield of bile duct brushings, pediatric biopsy forceps biopsies and cholangioscopy-directed biopsies for obtaining diagnostic tissue from biliary strictures.
To compare the effect of lumbar spinal manipulation, physical therapy and surgical management in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.
Safety and Efficacy of SYM-SV/DS-002 in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis
A prospective study investigating the effectiveness and safety in lumbar stenosis patients receiving integrative Korean medicine treatment at 3 locations of Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine through assessment of pain, functional disability, and quality of life
The post approval study will enroll US female patients presenting with claudication or ischemic rest pain and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral or popliteal artery. Subjects are treated per Instructions For Use (IFU) with the Lutonix® Catheter. Subjects will have a Duplex Ultrasound (DUS) and clinical follow-up through two (2) years.
There have been few published studies that examine the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments on patients with pulsatile tinnitus with venous stenosis. Despite the limited experience with venous sinus stenting to treat pulsatile tinnitus, preliminary results show that venous sinus stenting could represent a viable alternative for refractory pulsatile tinnitus patients with venous sinus stenosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this procedure in a controlled fashion, using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, and long-term clinical and imaging follow-up. The investigators hope to provide robust data regarding the safety and efficacy of venous sinus stenting for patients with pulsatile tinnitus.
The investigators propose a randomized non-blinded comparison of dorsal vs. ventral approach for buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty in the bulbar urethra. Buccal mucosa graft is a common method of repairing the strictured urethra. Current evidence suggests the two approaches for placement of the graft are equally successful at correcting the stricture and the two approaches have similar risks of complications. The investigators propose to randomly assign appropriately selected patients to either a dorsally- or ventrally-placed graft. No additional procedures beyond normal care protocol will be required of the patients. Success will be assessed via objective and subjective methods; complications will be tallied in a standardized fashion. Outcomes will be measured at two years.
In actual practice the patients with mild or moderate lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms receive an epidural infiltration and participate in kyphosis reeducation in first intention. Yet the kyphosis reeducation did not show a real profit in the time compared with the natural evolution of the pathology. The study assume that the spinal mobility reeducation will reduce the incidence of pain recurrences compared with the classic kyphosis reeducation.
