Filter by:AIMS: Determining the clinical features and prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in asymptomatics patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and checking the validity of the current recommendations regarding for PAD screening in T1DM. METHODOLOGY: An observational and cross-sectional prevalence study. The whole group of patients (sample size calculated: 299 patients) will make the Edinburgh Questionnaire for detecting classic symptoms of intermittent claudication, and after verifying the absence of symptoms and exclusion criteria, they will be included in the study. All patients will undergo assessment of clinical parameters related to T1DM and classic cardiovascular risk factors, as well as, an analytical assessment of the lipid profile, HbA1c level, proinflammatory profile and oxidative stress status. They will also undergo a comprehensive anthropometric assessment including office blood pressure (BP) monitoring and ambulatory 24-hours BP monitoring in patients with an indication as routine clinical practice, assessment of cardioautonomic function, and lastly an ankle-brachial index (ABI) by Doppler ultrasound, in the context of routine clinical practice in patients with clinical indication, or as an extraordinary procedure for participating in the study in patients who do not meet criteria for screening according to current recommendations.
This study will determine whether an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) improves walking performance in patients with PAD from its first use. Additionally, the study will test walking performance after a three month AFO intervention and will examine the feasibility of this AFO intervention. Data for evaluations will be collected from 50 patients with PAD. Fifty healthy age-matched controls will be participate in one baseline gait assessment for comparison purposes. Both groups between 40-85 years old. Interventions and Evaluations Biomechanics evaluations: Patients with PAD will complete a biomechanics evaluation at baseline, following three months of control (standard of care), and following three months of AFO intervention. The evaluation will include measurement of walking distances, gait function, physical activity, quality of life, energy cost, muscle morphometrics, muscle activity, muscle oxygenation, and muscle strength and endurance while walking with and without the AFO. Healthy controls will be assessed during one baseline collection only and their participation in the study will then be finished. Feasibility interview: All patients with PAD will participate in feasibility interviews that will assess acceptability, demand, implementation, and practicality. Interviews will occur 1.5 months and following completion of the AFO intervention (not the control arm). AFO and Control (standard of care) Intervention: Patients will wear an off-the-shelf, carbon composite AFO that is adjusted to fit for three months. The patients will be asked to wear the AFO at all times except when they are in bed or showering/bathing. The instructions given to the patients about walking will be to follow the instructions from their doctor regarding risk factor management and exercise. The intervention order will be randomized and all subjects will participate in both arms.
The aim of the project is to investigate the clinical and patient centred outcomes of people with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) attending a podiatry led integrated care pathway, utilising advice on diet, activity and smoking cessation. The podiatry clinic will be delivered from the Move More centre (NCSEM) and participants will be encouraged to access these facilities as part of their activity programme which will be agreed with the physical activity team. Primary and secondary outcomes will be clinical - claudication pain, distance walked at 3 and 6 months, blood pressure and lipid monitoring, weight management, reduced BMI, and the success of any smoking cessation. Quality of life and patient satisfaction with the programme will also be assessed.
This study will evaluate how well Humacyte's Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) works when surgically implanted into a leg to improve blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study will also evaluate how safe it is to use the HAV in this manner.
The COCOA-PAD trial will determine whether epicatechin-rich cocoa daily for six months improves walking performance in individuals with peripheral artery disease compared to placebo.
The aim of this study is to prospectively collect information to evaluate the safety and performance of the Akesys Prava Sirolimus Eluting Bioresorbable Peripheral scaffold system for the treatment of symptomatic primary atherosclerotic stenoses and occlusions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA).
The aim of the study is to assess if venous distension in patients with aneurysmatic arteriopathy is higher compared to patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and in controls.
Patients scheduled for major extremity lower amputation to receive bone marrow cells (cBMA) injected IM in the leg proximal to the amputation in the index limb to prevent ischemic wound complications after surgery.
This study is designed to collect information during a procedure that is routine care for treating a blockage in a blood vessel in the upper part of the participant's leg. This study is for data collection reasons to help doctors gain better understanding of the treatment of disease in the blood vessels of the legs. You will be treated with two devices that are routine, or standard of care, for your doctor to treat blockages in the blood vessel of the leg. The treatment is for a blockage or narrowing caused by plaque build-up in the blood vessel. Data will be collected to assess what length of time the blood vessel will be prevented from re-narrowing through twenty-four (24) months after the procedure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of muscle ischemia during claudication on mitochondrial function. Comparison to patients with arterial disease but absence of lower limb claudication (Cardiac group) feasibility study.
