Filter by:The objective of this prospective, multi-center, single arm study is to obtain further data on the safety and performance of the Drug-coated Balloon catheters in the treatment of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and Popliteal Arteries (PA).
The objectives of this study are: Evaluation of ultra-low iodine load CTA protocols of the aorta and lower extremities. To investigate whether dual-layer in combination with with virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) allows for reduction of contrast medium (CM) in CTA of the aorta and lower limbs i with sustained objective and subjective image quality parameters.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the pain level patients after angioography. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces pain levels and stabilizes hemodynamic variables.
Tobacco cessation treatment is needed for individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to improve symptoms, lower cardiovascular risk, and prevent amputation. While such treatment is effective, many PAD patients do not receive cessation therapy. Participants will receive nicotine replacement therapy, counseling, and and complete questionnaires. We hypothesize that integrating tobacco cessation services into a dedicated PAD clinic (OU CVI Limb Preservation Clinic) can improve tobacco cessation rates and improve PAD-related health outcomes in this at risk population.
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the benefits of home-based, leg heat therapy (HT) on lower-extremity functioning and quality of life in patients who suffer from lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). We will randomize 106 patients to one of two groups that either receive leg HT or a sham intervention. The primary study outcome is the change in 6-minute walk distance between baseline and the 12-week follow up. Secondary outcomes include changes in the short physical performance battery score, handgrip strength, quality of life (measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire and Short-Form (SF)-36 Questionnaire), calf muscle strength (measured using a calf ergometer), size (measured by magnetic resonance imaging) and bioenergetics (assessed using phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy), and physical activity (measured by accelerometer).
To evaluate the effectiveness of the VSX device in pre-determined patient populations to understand the patient characteristics that impact outcomes.
Atherosclerotic diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. An interaction between the development of atherosclerotic diseases and the oral and enteral microbiome composition has already been demonstrated in the past. The microbiome is a double-edged sword which can convey protective and detrimental cardiovascular effects. While it can promote the development of atherosclerosis through the production of atherogenic metabolites such as trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) it can also generate a protective effect through the production of metabolites such as short chain fatty acids (SCFA). Preliminary data suggest that atherosclerotic disease itself can induce a dysbiosis of the microbiome. Aim of this study is to determine the differences in coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease on the oral-enteral microbiome axis and downstream microbiome-dependent metabolites.
Feasibility Study of the Vessel Restoration System (VRS) for the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesions in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and/or Popliteal Artery (PA) after Sub-optimal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or Atherectomy: REACTIVATE I
Feasibility Study of the Vessel Restoration System (VRS) for the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesions in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and/or Proximal Popliteal Artery (PPA): ACTIVATE II
Endovascular treatment of symptomatic atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (PAD) is recommended as the primary revascularization strategy. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the superficial femoral artery has a high initial success rate, but restenosis and dissections frequently occur.The influence of the novel devices with improved hemodynamic capabilities with respect to vasomotion of the vessel wall, vascular function and vascular compliance can be measured by FMD (flow-mediated dilation), arterial stiffness indices and vascular strain analysis. The aim of this ITT is to determine the potential improvement and impact of the SELUTION SLR in the infrainguinal arteries on local vascular function.
