Filter by:Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a surgical procedure for removing cancer in the pancreas, the bile system or the duodenum that is associated with a high rate of complications. The study wants to investigate whether a new technique to reconstruct the joint between the pancreatic gland and the short bowel can reduce the rate of severe complications after this complex surgical procedure.
Dialysis access, which is the connection that allows blood to flow in and out of the body during dialysis sessions, is important to remove wastes and excess fluid for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). One method used to access the vein and artery for dialysis is called a brachiocephalic fistula. Patients are being asked to participate in this study because they have endstage renal disease, and their doctor has recommended that they will have brachiocephalic fistula placed for their dialysis access. A common problem seen in patients with a brachiocephalic fistula (BCF) is cephalic arch stenosis (CAS). CAS is a narrowing in the central vein (located in the upper chest). CAS causes problems with the opening of the veins and arteries needed for dialysis. Once someone suffers CAS they may need several radiology procedures as well as surgery to help correct the problem. The BCF may fail once CAS develops. The purpose of the research study is to gather information about the BCF and what is happening inside the vein. The researchers hope to find out what may be the cause of CAS.
Adjuvant use of fibrin glue (FG) in the fistula tract has been shown to promote closure of low-output ECFs. The primary objectives of this study are to compare the clinical efficacy, safety of autologous platelet-rich fibrin glue (PRFG) and a commercially available fibrin sealant Bioseal® in the management of patients with low-output volume ECFs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether handsewn anastomosis versus clipped technique is associated with more complications, fistula failures, surgical cost and surgical time.
Patients that have undergone pre-operative radiation for pancreatic carcinoma, that upon pathologic examination of the normal portion of the pancreatic gland that was in the radiation field showed acute and chronic changes in the pancreatic cells. The hypothesis for utilizing stereotactic radiation on pancreatic fistulae is that the treatment will decrease pancreatic secretions, thus decreasing autodigestion.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the use of NMB's percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the treatment of obstructive lesions of Arteriovenous (AV) Dialysis Fistulae/Grafts.
The investigators hypothesis that aneurysms and stenoses will be decreased if the direction of inserted arterial needle were same as the direction of blood flow, when compared to the opposite direction puncture.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether Crohn's Disease patients with peri-anal fistulas will suffer from sexual dysfunction in an attempt to help us identify Crohn's Disease patients that would benefit from sexual health interventions. Hypothesis: Crohn's patients with active perianal fistulas will have decreased sexual drive, performance, and satisfaction than those with Crohn's Disease in remission.
This will be a prospective, multi-center, post-market, single arm observational study to collect clinical outcome data on the use of Permacol™ Collagen Paste in the treatment of anorectal fistulas. The subjects will have baseline and day of surgery visits performed, and then subjects will return to the investigator for evaluation of defect and safety related morbidities at follow up visits scheduled at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-surgery.
This is an open follow-up clinical trial to evaluate a sustained efficacy and safety of ANTG-ASC injection for 4 months (6 months after final dose injection) after Phase II clinical trial.
