In 5 Belgian hospitals, the data of 100 CLI-patients receiving the cryoplasty technique to treat their infrapopliteal arterial lesions will be collected. The treatment occurs strictly according the "Instructions For Use" of the CE-approved device (PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System, Boston Scientific) and only data are collected that have been made available conform the Standard the Standards of Care for these patients.
This study will evaluate UT-15C sustained release tablets in subjects experiencing ischemic lower limb rest pain related to advanced peripheral arterial disease. Rest pain is one of the primary management issues of severe arterial occlusive disease and may lead to amputation when the pain becomes intolerable and unresponsive to narcotic analgesia. Rest pain also impacts the quality of sleep and mobility with frequent interruptions in sleep and decreased mobility. Treprostinil sodium (Remodulin®) has been studies in several small open-label studies and has been shown to be safe as well as an effective agent for ischemic rest pain when given by subcutaneous or intravenous delivery. However, these forms of administration have patient convenience limitations, including the need for an infusion device and associated pain at the site of infusion with subcutaneous delivery. UT-15C may allow patients suffering from CLI to benefit from the simplicity of an oral dosage form
The hypothesis behind the trial is the concept that Pregabalin is effective in reducing pain at rest in lower limb ischemia, and the study evaluates active treatment or placebo added to the regular pain regimens for these patients.
This study will treat patients with such severe lower leg ischemia or vascular compromise that they have pain at rest. The goal is to compare treatment of the patient's painful disorder by injecting cells into the calf of the leg and testing for circulatory improvement. A treatment will given at random to two groups and will be injection into the calf muscle with ALD-301 (specially processed stem and progenitor cells) from the patient's own bone marrow, or with cells processed by more routine that minimally purifies the cells. The study goal is to see if the ALD-301 cells are more effective in generating new small blood vessels to improve the circulation to the affected leg.
The purpose of this gene therapy study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intramuscular gene transfer using Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) or placebo in patients with moderate to high-risk Critical Limb Ischemia (a condition in which there is poor blood circulation in the leg). This trial will assess whether VEGF improves rest pain and/or heals ulcers in the legs of patients with peripheral artery disease (blockages in leg arteries.) VEGF is DNA, or genetic material that will be injected into the leg muscles on three separate occasions, each 2 weeks apart. Once the DNA is in the leg, it directs the cells of the artery wall to increase its production of VEGF, which has been shown to cause new blood vessels to grow. This experimental therapy is designed to grow new blood vessels around blockages in the leg arteries. The total length of participation in this study is approximately 1 year and will require approximately 8 clinic visits within that year. Following enrollment in the study, testing may be done for cancer screening, blood work, physical exams, vascular testing and eye exams. There is no charge for any testing or office visits required by the study. This study has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This trial was designed to challenge the wide held view that polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) performs better than Dacron for above knee femoropopliteal bypass.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the safety of continuous and daily subcutaneous Remodulin therapy in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) with no planned vascular interventional procedures; and to determine the effect of Remodulin on wound healing and treadmill walk distance.
