Filter by:This clinical trial will study the safety and effectiveness of the Biodesign Vesico-vaginal fistula plug in the treatment of vesico-vaginal fistulas resulting from childbirth trauma.
Evaluate access to healthcare, comprehension of pre-operative counseling and post-operative goals of women treated for vesicovaginal fistula in Niger through use of a questionnaire.
This project will bank sera, DNA and vascular specimens from patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula creation and revision.
The majority of bridge graft fistula with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for hemodialysis access will develop stenosis at the venous anastomosis and eventually will fail. Aspirin have been used for many years as a prophylactic drug therapy to prevent thrombosis but good clinical evidence for its benefit is lacking. Many drugs have been used to reduce intimal hyperplasia in animal models. Until recently there has been little success in clinical trials of anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antiplatelet, antithrombotic or calcium channel blocking drugs. Recently a major breakthrough was done by GORE when introducing the new heparin bonded PTFE graft by covalent attachment. This trial is planed to assess and compare between the GORE-TEX® PROPATEN vascular graft versus unmodified ePTFE grafts the patency and complication.
To assess whether a combination of ciprofloxacin and adalimumab is more effective than adalimumab alone for the treatment of perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease
The purpose of the protocol, is to determine whether lanreotide 30 mg is effective in the treatment of patients with digestive fistulae.
The Surgisis Anal Fistula Plug study is a clinical trial conducted in Saudi Arabia to study the safety and effectiveness of the Surgisis AFP Plug in the treatment of chronic anal fistulas.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Surgisis anal fistula plug is just as effective in healing anal fistulas as compared to the advancement flap procedure.
A. Pain and other disadvantages of AV fistula cannulation can be limited by using the so-called buttonhole technique. B. Till present in our center catheters with cylindrical points are used for cannulation of AV fistulas with the rope ladder technique. One can hypothesize that a catheter with a bevel point might have some advantages such as a larger entrance area and less traumatic cannulation. The latter may influence pain sensation of the patients. The above background information gives rise to the following investigational questions: A. Buttonhole vs rope ladder technique 1. Is pain sensation different when using buttonhole cannulation as compared to rope ladder cannulation technique? Hypothesis: AV fistula cannulation by buttonhole technique causes less pain than cannulation by rope ladder technique. 2. Is the level of anxiety different when using buttonhole cannulation as compared to rope ladder cannulation technique? Hypothesis: AV fistula cannulation by buttonhole technique causes less anxiety than cannulation by rope ladder technique. 3. Is bleeding time different when using buttonhole cannulation as compared to rope ladder cannulation technique? Hypothesis: Bleeding time is shorter when using buttonhole technique versus rope ladder technique. 4. Is the number and severity of complications related to AV fistula cannulation different between buttonhole and rope ladder technique? Hypothesis: When using the buttonhole technique for AV fistula cannulation the number and severity of complications is less than when using the rope ladder technique. B. Rope ladder technique using catheters with cylindrical vs. bevel point 5. Is pain sensation different when using rope ladder cannulation catheters with cylindrical as compared to bevel point? Hypothesis: AV fistula cannulation using bevel point catheters causes less pain than cannulation using cylindrical point catheters.
