Filter by:This study aims to determine whether intraoperative physiologic measurements of blood flow to the leg during endovascular treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) can predict future clinical outcomes.
The present study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of the drug Unifuzol® (L-arginine) in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities. The study recruits patients 40-79 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic ischemia of the lower limb and a stable symptom of intermittent claudication that occurs when walking a distance of 100-299 meters. L-arginine improves microcirculation due to activation of nitrogen monoxide production and stimulates capillary blood flow, thus can probably improve the quality of life of patients with intermittent claudication. The criterion for treatment efficacy will be an increase in the maximum walking distance measures before and on the next day after the end of treatment course.
The study will evaluate the effect of intermittent negative pressure (INP) on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patient vascular function and blood flow. Patients will be given either -40mmHg INP or -10mmHg INP which will act as a placebo. Healthy volunteers will be given -40mmHg INP to evaluate changes in vascular function and blood flow with INP in healthy physiology.
The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week aquatic walking exercise program on body composition, vascular function, cardiorespiratory capacity, exercise tolerance, muscular strength, and physical function in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The effects of the 12-week aquatic walking exercise program were also compared to the effects of a 12-week land-based walking exercise program.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Jetstream Atherectomy System for the treatment of Japanese patients with symptomatic occlusive atherosclerotic lesions in native superficial femoral artery (SFA) and/ or proximal popliteal arteries (PPA).
The BIBLIOS trial investigates the efficacy and safety of BTK treatment of patients suffering from critical limb ischemia (Rutherford 5) with the Luminor-14 Paclitaxel coated Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Balloon catheter of iVascular. An expected total of 150 patients will be treated. Infrapopliteal lesions will be treated during this trial. The Paclitaxel eluting balloon Luminor-14 is designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasties in which the balloon will dilate the artery upon inflation. The balloon is coated with Paclitaxel intended to avoid cellular proliferation. The drug is released by means of rapid inflation as to release a high dose in a short amount of time. Patients will be invited for a follow-up visit at 1, 6 and 12 months post-procedure. The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as freedom from major adverse limb events, defined as above the ankle target limb amputations or major reintervention to the target lesions at 6 months. The primary safety endpoint is freedom from major adverse limb event at 30 days. The secondary endpoints consist of functional flow in target vessel, freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularisation, above the ankle amputation free survival and limb salvage at 6 and 12 months, and also procedural success, wound healing status and wound healing time.
Clinical study on safety and efficacy of ZENFlow™ drug-eluting PTA balloon dilatation catheter in the treatment of iliac, femoral and popliteal artery stenosis or occlusion
A clinical study at the Baylor College of Medicine, Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, is being proposed to test the efficacy of a novel electrical stimulation platform named the Tennant Biomodulator designed by AVAZZIA to accelerate wound healing, relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD) is a highly prevalent chronic disease. Cardiovascular mortality of LEPAD patients at five years ranges between 18 to 30%. LEPAD is primarily caused by atherosclerosis that induces an inadequate blood flow to meet the tissues demand due to the narrowing of the arteries. An aggravation of the arterial lesions in LEPAD patients induces a worsening of patients' symptoms and a severe limitation of their walking capacity, contributing to an impairment of their quality of life. Interventions designed to improve walking impairment may have a significant impact on the functional capacity in LEPAD patients. Lower extremity electrical stimulation is an older technique that relies on different types of electrical stimulations with different expected physiological effects on hemodynamics, skeletal muscle functions or pain pathway. The aim of the ELECTRO-PAD study is to assess the effect of a 12 weeks program of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the absolute walking distance (AWD) measured during a treadmill test in peripheral artery disease patients.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the benefits of participating for 8 weeks in a home-based daily treatment with heat therapy (HT) or a thermoneutral control intervention, as assessed by vascular function, walking tolerance and quality of life.
