Filter by:DTFI is a single-center, prospective cohort study aimed at evaluating the hemodynamics of in-stent stenosis after flow diverter implantation, seeking to identify the threshold effect of blood flow in stenosis.
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm target value clinical study to study the safety and effectiveness of Peripheral Scoring Drug-coated Balloon dilatation catheters in the treatment of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula stenosis.
This is a prospective, open label, multicenter, single arm, first in human clinical study. Patients with infra-inguinal peripheral arterial disease appropriate for treatment with a femoro-popliteal stent will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with the ChampioNIR Stent System. All implanted patients will be followed up at 30 days and 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. The follow-up visits will include patency evaluation by duplex ultrasound
To compare between the clinical and surgical efficacies of bi-portal endoscopic and microscopic decompressive laminectomy in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
The goal of this interventional is to assess advantages of the ultrasound examination of the lungs in the early postoperative period in cardiac surgical patients after heart surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Evaluation of pulmonary complications and outcomes during mid-term follow-up, as well as comparison of ultrasound examination and traditional roentgenologic methods (X-ray examination and CT of the chest) will be performed. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is ultrasound examination of the lungs a more specific and sensitive method in identification of early postoperative pulmonary complications after on-pump cardiac surgical procedures, in comparison with traditional X-ray methods. - Does early identification of interstitial pulmonary edema (based on number of visualised B-lines in the early postoperative period), influences mid-term outcomes in this cohort of patients Participants will undergo ultrasound examination of the lungs on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 and 7 after heart surgery. Based on ultrasound findings and degree of interstitial pulmonary edema, medical (diuretics, anti-inflammatory, e.t.c) therapy will be modified. Researchers will compare this group of patients with control group, in which ultrasound examination will be performed in the same time frames, but no changes in medical management based on ultrasound findings will be made to see if timely administered medical therapy, based on ultrasound findings, can significantly improve symptoms, hospital lengths of stay and outcomes of this patients.
This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of disposable digital single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) and intraductal ultrasound (IDUS) for the accurate diagnosis of indeterminate biliary stricture.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of the Ton-bridge carotid stent for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis.
The purpose of this research study is to determine how well an FDA-approved drug, dupilumab, works to treat patients with severe strictures and active Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). This is an open-label study, meaning everyone in the study will receive dupilumab. Participants will have a screening visit where they will complete surveys and undergo an endoscopy (EGD). Blood and biopsies (small tissue samples) will also be collected. If eligible and enrolled into the study, participants will receive weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of dupilumab for 52 weeks (one year). The first dose of dupilumab will be administered at the week 1 visit by a clinician and participants will receive training on how to self-administer the remaining doses. Participants will return for study visits every at weeks 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 44, and 52. During these visits, vital signs (temperature, heart rate, etc.) will be collected and participants will complete surveys. During visits at week 12, 24, and 52, blood will be collected and an endoscopy with biopsy will be performed. At 64 weeks (12 weeks after the last dose of dupilumab), participants assigned male at birth (AMAB) will be contacted about their / their partner's pregnancy status and participants assigned female at birth (AFAB) may be asked to come for an in-person visit to complete a urine pregnancy test.
• Evaluation of the effect of PTMC on LAA function by TEE at least one month after the procedure and its effectiveness in prevention of thrombi formation and cerebrovascular complications.
Ischemic stroke with high incidence, mortality, disability and recurrence rate, has become the leading threat to the health worldwide. Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is commonly associated with ischemic stroke, especially in Chinese residents. Patients with severe ICAS are subject to a very high risk of recurrent stroke events, despite best medical therapy available. Unstable or complex atherosclerotic plaques can lead to plaque ruptures and distal embolisms, thereby increasing the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence. Studies have shown that activation of inflammatory states may play a driving role in the formation and development of atherosclerosis. So far, it remains unclear which are the best treatments for this condition, especially for high-risk patients. Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) is a Class I novel drug independently developed in China and was officially approved for use in acute ischemic stroke. Preclinical data showed that NBP can act multiple effects of anti-inflammation, antioxidation and anti-apoptosis by suppressing pro-inflammatory factors and upregulating the expression of anti-inflammatory factors. It is still undetermined whether combined therapy with NBP could enhance the curative effect of intracranial atherosclerosis. The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of butylphthalide in reducing the degree of arterial stenosis and stabilizing plaques in patients with severe symptomatic middle cerebral artery stenosis.
