Filter by:Rinexin® Tab (Cilostazol 100mg, Ginkgo biloba leaf extract 80mg) has been widely used as an anti-platelet agent for the treatment of PAD. SID142 is a new controlled-release product improved patient's convenience and disadvantage of dosage regimen of previous drug. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of SID142 and Rinexin® Tab in patients with PAD
A retrospective study to evaluate Turbo Power laser atherectomy + drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal de novo/restenotic lesions and in-stent restenosis (ISR).
The measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen pressure during walking allows to estimate the importance of ischemia, bilaterally and segment of limb by segment of limb. The determination of the metabolic compounds concentration, with metabolomic approach, is emerging in physiology and exercise. This pilot study focuses on the feasibility of the metabolomics analysis with micro method , by capillary drawing from earlobe sampling, for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD)
The Pedra Technologies' PedraTM device is a non-invasive, diagnostic device intended to measure foot perfusion by assessing blood flow. The PedraTM device comprises a compact instrument console connected to a sensor that is pasted onto the patient's foot during perfusion assessment. Through skin contact, the device is able to monitor tissue perfusion at depths of up to 7.5mm. The monitor console contains opto-electronic instrumentation including coherent infrared light sources, photo detectors, and display/control electronics. The sensor comprises passive fiber-optic conduits, which transfer infrared light from the console to the patient, and relays scattered light from the patient back to the console. The intensity of light emitted from the sensor is less than 3 mW, well within the safety envelope of Class I laser systems and comparable (or lower than) other commercially available devices such as laser Doppler systems. The sole point of contact with the patient is a layer of medical grade adhesive tape, which is used to paste the flat sensor onto intact skin.
Patients with peripheral arterial disease often have walking impairment due to insufficient oxygen supply to lower extremity skeletal muscle. In an aging rat model, we have previously shown that daily calf muscle stretching improves endothelium-dependent dilation of soleus muscle arterioles and blood flow during exercise. The effect of muscle stretching on endothelial function and walking distance in patients with peripheral arterial disease is unknown. We performed a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, crossover study in 13 patients with stable symptomatic peripheral artery disease. Patients were randomized to undergo either 4 weeks of passive calf muscle stretching (ankle dorsiflexion splints applied 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week) followed by 4 weeks of no muscle stretching (control group) and vice versa. Endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation and endothelium- independent nitroglycerin-induced dilation of the popliteal artery and a 6 minute walk test were evaluated at baseline and after each 4 week treatment interval. Patients crossed over to the other treatment arm after 4 weeks and endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation and endothelium- independent nitroglycerin-induced dilation of the popliteal artery and the 6 minute walk test were repeated.
The ENTRAP Study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm, study with follow-up to 30 days to determine the acute safety, acute device performance and clinical performance of the Vanguard IEP Peripheral Balloon Angioplasty System with Integrated Embolic Protection. The Vanguard IEP Peripheral Balloon Angioplasty System with Integrated Embolic Protection is indicated for peripheral vascular percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and capture and removal of embolic material during angioplasty for the femoral, iliac, popliteal and profunda arteries.
The MODIFY Pilot clinical study in Europe looks to evaluate acute and procedural outcomes using a new calcium atherectomy and modification solution in patients with balloon resistant calcified lesions in infrainguinal disease. The intent is to both debulk and modify the vessel to restore blood flow, improve vessel compliance and drive better outcomes. The MODIFY Pilot study will evaluate safety and performance measurements.
The registry is a prospective, multicenter, single arm post-market real-world registry in China assessing the clinical use, safety and outcomes of the Orchid 035 DCB Catheter in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and Popliteal Arteries (PA).
To our knowledge, the measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen pressure during walking is the only continuous method that estimates the importance of ischemia, bilaterally and segment of limb by segment of limb. The determination of the lactates concentration, with micro method from earlobe sampling, is very widely validated in physiology and exercise physiopathology; and it is widely used, by laboratories, for exercise investigation in athletes. We use it in routine to evaluate the presence of functional limitation during tcpO2 tests on a treadmill. The present study hypothesises a significant relationship between lactatemia variation (difference between lactatemia after 3 minutes of recovery from walking and the value at rest) and tcpO2 "decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROP) values for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Background: The plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3-n-3) may reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including incident myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and peripheral artery disease. However, the results of previous studies have been inconsistent. Objectives: To investigate the associations between dietary intake of ALA, adipose tissue content of ALA, and the risk of the major atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases incident myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and subtypes, and peripheral artery disease. Methods: This project will be based on data from the Danish cohort study Diet, Cancer and Health which consisted of 57,053 men and women at recruitment between 1993 and 1997. Dietary intake of ALA will be assessed using a validated semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire and adipose tissue content will be determined with the use of gas chromatography analyses of adipose tissue biopsies collected at baseline. Also, detailed information on lifestyle factors, medical history and anthropometri was collected at baseline. Incident cases have been identified through national registries and the diagnoses have previously been validated. Analyses of dietary intake of ALA will be analysed using a traditional cohort design, whereas analyses on adipose tissue content of ALA will be analysed based on a case-cohort design. Hazard ratioes with 95% confidence intervals will be used to describe the associations between the exposure variables and the outcome variables of interest.
