Filter by:Patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI) are at risk of losing their limb and/or life and therefore have no option but to undergo bypass or amputation surgery. This presents a major physical challenge to the body and patients with low fitness will struggle to overcome the effects of the surgical trauma. Currently there is a high risk of a poorer outcome for CLI patients than with most other surgical procedures, as demonstrated by high rates of complications (20-46%) and 30 day mortality (7.5-13.5%). Up to 30% of people will die within the first year. Exercise and respiratory muscle training, before surgery, has shown a reduction in complications in other surgical specialties. Around 50% of CLI patients present as an emergency, meaning training before admission is not feasible, so the Investigator proposes to see if training during the hospital stay will aid a better recovery. However, as this has not been done in vascular surgical patients the investigator needs to initially test if this intervention is possible in this patient group in an acute hospital setting.The aim of this proof of concept single cohort study is to assess whether an exercise intervention, started on hospital admission and continued post-surgery, for the duration of the hospital admission, is safe, acceptable, well tolerated and feasible to run in an acute ward setting. The exercise regime will include daily upper limb aerobic (hand bike) and inspiratory muscle training (POWERbreathe) and upper body strength training every second day until discharge. The Investigator will assess safety by recording adverse events and acceptability by adherence to exercise programme and qualitative interviews. The Investigator will evaluate processes and completeness of data collection and describe before and after measures of physical fitness.
The objective of the PRELUDE BTK study is to assess safety and efficacy of the Serranator® PTA Serration Balloon Catheter (study device) in subjects with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease of the infrapopliteal arteries.
Designed as a single center, two-part, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RJX in healthy participants.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Spur System in a patient population with infrapopliteal artery disease (tibioperoneal, anterior/posterior tibial and peritoneal arteries) when used in conjunction with substance/drug coated balloons.
The ECAD-CLI is an investigator-driven, prospective, single-center study. The aim of the study is to prospectively collect clinical, laboratory, angiographic, cellular and molecular variables related to prognosis and outcome in patients with diabetes mellitus and critical limb ischemia.
Single phased global, prospective, multicenter clinical trial designed to demonstrate a superior patency rate and acceptable safety in below the knee arteries with lesions treated with the DES BTK Vascular Stent System vs. percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
The trial is a phase 1b, open label, uncontrolled, non-randomized dose-escalation study of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs. Following informed consent, patients who meet the criteria will be screened and enrolled. Up to 100 mls of bone marrow will be harvested from the participant from which MSCs will be culture expanded. In this dose escalation study, 3 participants on each cohort will be treated with a targeted dose of either 20 million hMSC; 40 million hMSC; or 80 million hMSC. The cells will be administered to the ischemic leg by 20 intramuscular injections of approximately 0.5ml per injection . Treatment groups will be completed sequentially, beginning with the lowest dose group.
This is a Pilot Trial Using Chelation Therapy for Limb Preservation in Diabetic Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia.
Treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease and critical limb ischemia still poses challenges to vascular medicine due to limited survival, comorbidities and infrapopliteal involvement of arteriosclerosis in these patients. Most optimal vascular therapy mode has not been finally decided in these patients. Therefore retrospective analysis of patients receiving open surgical and endovascular revascularisation was performed.
Given the importance of understanding CLI patients' outcomes and existing gaps in knowledge, there is a pressing need to collect observational data on treatment patterns, adherence to performance measures, and outcomes that are relevant to patients and clinicians. To address this need, the current study will pilot test the research infrastructure and data elements needed to build a larger, national study collecting of the CLI population. It will also provide much-needed preliminary information to identify areas of action that can be targeted in quality improvement programs for this population. Most importantly, it will provide data on health status outcomes in patients with CLI, as a function of individual patient characteristics (demographics, socio-economic and clinical background) and the treatments that patients have undergone. The PORTRAIT-CLI study will also be well equipped to identify potential disparities in the provision of care and patients' outcomes as a function of patient's characteristics.
