Filter by:This is an open follow-up clinical trials to evaluate a sustained efficacy and safety of Adipoplus inj. for 10 months (12 months after final dose injection)after Phase II clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine if PRT-201 when applied to a limited segment of your blood vessel (about 2 inches) immediately after surgery to create an arteriovenous fistula is safe and improves the patency of your fistula. PRT-201 is a protein that has been shown to help keep vessels open ("patent") when applied to the outside surface of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) in AVF patients in a previous study.
Gastrointestinal leaks or perforations are currently treated through either open or laparoscopic surgical procedures. The purpose of this research is to determine whether new endoscopic tools are safe and effective in the treatment of such conditions and can overcome the need of invasive surgical procedures.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims at assessing the influence of octreotide on pancreatic fistula or complications following pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with soft pancreas. Previously reported trials have included all types of pancreatic resections and have include all types of pancreas and have shown no clearcut benefit of octreotide after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Soft pancreas and normal sized duct are the risk factors for fistula following PD. This study's focus is on this select group of patients and aims to assess the role of octreotide in patients with soft pancreas.
The primary purpose of this prospective, multicenter, observational, single arm study is to further substantiate efficacy of the GORE® BIO-A® Fistula Plug when used as a soft tissue reinforcement of anal fistula repair and healing.
Today Endoscopic repair of recurrent Tracheesophageal fistula (TEF) is a safe procedure. Using Trichlosiacetic acid 50% (TCA) for endoscopic aplication of the fistula was reported with a good results ( 4 cases). There were no serious advers effects. The investigators want to use also TCA 50% for endoscopic repair in children with recurrent TEF.
Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are made by joining a vein to an artery in order to get the vein dilated with sufficient blood flow in order to puncture the vein and clear the blood from wastes, in patients whose kidneys are destroyed and cannot provide this function. The success rate of this procedure varies between 50-80% and depends mainly on the size of the vein, with success being higher with larger veins. One of the veins used for an AVF is the basilic vein, located at the upper arm. This vein is however deeply located and necessitates movement (transposition) during surgery to a less deep and lateral path before it is joined to the artery, in order to be used. A single study has shown that surgery performed in two parts (one to enlarge the vein and the second one to relocate the enlarged vein under the wound, not in a new path) is more successful than doing the procedure altogether. The aim of this study is to confirm the findings of the single study mentioned above (one versus two stages of basilic vein AVF), with the difference that the vein will be relocated outside the main wound, a method that is widely accepted as being better.
The investigators suspect that using ultrasound to guide insertion of needles for dialysis patients will make this process quicker and more accurate, thus reducing complications and reducing discomfort for patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of closing bronchopleural fistulas with devices originally developed for correction of cardiac septal defects deployed through bronchoscopic procedures.
