Filter by:The primary purpose of the study is to measure the change in severity of symptoms and ability to function in every day activities in patients suffering from degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis after treatment with the Aperius® device.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the intermediate and long-term effectiveness of stand-alone atherectomy treatment of peripheral arterial disease in the legs.
Background: Muscle atrophy and reduced leg strength are related to exercise intolerance in patients with intermittent claudication (IC), suggesting that strength training (ST) could improve exercise performance in these patients. Objective: Analyze the effects of ST in walking capacity in patients with IC comparing with walking training (WT) effects. Intervention: Patients were randomized into ST and WT. Both groups trained twice a week, for 12 weeks, at the same rate of perceived exertion. ST consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions of whole body exercises. WT consisted of 15 two-minute bouts of walking intercalated with 2 minutes of resting. Measurements: Walking capacity, peak VO2, walking economy, ankle brachial index, ischemic window and knee extension strength
To compare to different approaches in whole-body magnetic resonance angiography of patients suffering peripheral arterial disease. Our hypothesis is that use of a new protocol improves the diagnostic quality of the WB-MRA procedure.
The purpose of this study is to see how safe and effective L carnitine taken with cilostazol is compared to placebo taken with cilostazol for people with intermittent claudication. A second purpose of the study is to see if L-carnitine is absorbed into the blood stream.
Intermittent Claudication (IC)is a common condition characterised by pain in the muscles of the legs on exertion caused by "hardening of the arteries" and a reduced blood supply. The investigators know that the vast majority of people suffering from this condition remain stable and do not deteriorate, and thus in general the viability of legs is not at risk. The main aim of treatment, therefore, is to try and improve walking thus reducing the impact this problem has on patients life style. There are many methods of management of intermittent claudication, but the investigators do not know which produces the best results. This study aims to compare the short and medium term outcomes of exercise programmes, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and a combination of the two treatments for patients with intermittent claudication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of K-134 for the treatment of intermittent claudication.
The primary objective of this trial is to test whether Pletal ODT administered without water can be considered bioequivalent to Pletal administered with 200 ml water (both treatments being administered after fasting and at least 30 minutes prior to receiving a light breakfast) based on the standard pharmacokinetic variables. The secondary objective is to assess the effect of water and the effect of food on the administration of Pletal ODT based on standard pharmacokinetic variables.
The BRAVISSIMO trial wants to investigate in a controlled setting, the long-term (up to 24 months) outcome of the self-expanding nitinol Absolute Pro (Abbott Vascular) and the balloon-expandable Omnilink Elite (Abbott Vascular) stent in TASC A&B and TASC C&D iliac lesions. A separate analysis of both patient populations will be performed and listed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of multiple, once-daily, intravenous doses of trans sodium crocetinate (TSC). The effectiveness of TSC in alleviating the symptoms of intermittent claudication (IC) will also be assessed.
