Filter by:Sympathetic overactivity partly promotes the development of peripheral artery disease which mainly leads to ischemia of the lower limbs. Endovascular arterial denervation (ED) is a minimally invasive technique which could deliver Radiofrequency energy by a multi-electrode catheter to the Lower limb artery to restore Sympathetic activity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of multi-electrode radiofrequency ablation system on lower limb ischemia with PAD.
This study evaluates the local inflammatory and resolution response of patients undergoing peripheral vascular intervention like an angioplasty of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or popliteal artery, or stenting of the iliac artery or SFA, through the use of Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). PET/MRI will be performed prior to intervention, one day and one week after intervention.
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of subintimal Supera stenting in complex de novo or re-occlusive CTO (TASC C-D) lesions in patients with CLI. This study will be performed based on a rigorous sample size calculation, which will allow us to have the statistical power to validate our conclusions and therefore establish the generalizability of this strategy.
The GIFT pilot study will investigate the optimal subcutaneous dose and safety of subcutaneously administered unacylated ghrelin in older people with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The purpose of this study is to determine if high-dose PUFA supplementation in patients undergoing EVAR for infra-renal AAA reduces the peri-operative inflammation.
This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, international, open-label, clinical study.
Diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is a common and largely preventable complication. While most of these ulcers can be treated successfully, some will persist and become infected. Ultimately, nearly one fifth of patients with infected lower-extremity diabetic ulcers will require amputation of the affected limb.Prevention by identifying people at higher risk is the key for better clinical management of such patients. It is not uncommon for patients suffering from diabetes to have concomitant lower extremity edema or even venous insufficiency and they subsequently may benefit from graduated compression. However, because of the common association of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with diabetes, most clinicians are reluctant to apply compressive dressings in fear of exacerbating the symptoms of PAD and the possible resulting gangrene. A novel micro-mobile foot compression device named Footbeat (AVEX, Inc.) offers alternative means providing lower extremity compression. This device is portable and can be used in a standard diabetic shoes on daily basis, which in turn may improve venous blood and relief from concomitant lower extremity edema. In addition, potential improvement in lower extremity blood flow in response to regular foot compression, could improve balance, gait, skin perfusion, plantar sensation, and overall daily physical activities (e.g. number of taken steps per day, duration of standing, etc). The purpose of this study is to conduct an observational study with N=30 ambulatory patients with diabetes and loss of protective sensation to assess whether this micro-mobile foot compression device can help improving motor function, lower extremity perfusion, and vascular health.
This study will assess the safety and performance of the Gore drug-coated balloon in the treatment of de novo and restenotic atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries of patients with symptomatic PAD.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate acute and long term clinical results of orbital atherectomy (OA) with adjunctive drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus DCB angioplasty alone for treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in below the knee (BTK) lesions.
IVUS imaging will be utilized to assess performance of the Sponsor's Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) followed by adjunctive balloon angioplasty (BA) in patients who have symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurring in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA), Popliteal (POP), and/or Tibioperoneal Trunk (TPT).
