Filter by:The objective of this study is to determine if using Fuzzy Wale compression stockinett can assist in reducing the healing time and decrease costs in trastibial amputation patients as compared to standard of care treatment compression stocking.
This single-center, 400-patient, randomized controlled trial assesses the impact of a patient- and provider-facing EPIC Best Practice Advisory (BPA; alert-based computerized decision support tool) to increase guideline-directed utilization of statin and statin-alternative oral LDL-C lowering therapies in patients with PAD who are not being prescribed LDL-C-lowering therapy.
The objective of the study is to evaluate early safety and effectiveness of the percutaneous deep foot venous arterialization performed in clinical practice, in an unselected population of patients with "no-option" CLTI.
The aim of this observational study is to assess in patients with a documented athero-thrombotic event: coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), peripheral artery disease (PAD): - the level of adherence to guideline recommendations with the assumption to improve the rate of patients at goal for cholesterol levels. - the level of adherence to guideline recommendations and the rate of patients at goal for the other relevant and modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular event recurrence.
In recent years, mobile health (mHealth) apps have promised improved monitoring of health conditions to improve clinical outcomes. The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of using remotely collected patient generated health data (PGHD) from older patients undergoing bypass surgery due to chronic limb threatening ischemia. The hypothesis is that integrating PGHD with an EHR system will help providers manage post-surgical symptoms and thus improve post-operative mobility and quality of life health outcomes.
The main goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a large-scale clinical trial testing a program containing several aspects for reducing the effects of air pollution on cardiovascular health (which is named the hybrid program hereafter) in adult patients (18 years or older) with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, we seek to answer how much patients adhere to and are satisfied with implementing the hybrid program, and what problems executing this program will bring for patients.
The femoropopliteal artery segment (FPAS) is one of the longest arteries in the human body, undergoing torsion, compression, flexion and extension due to lower limb movements. Endovascular surgery is considered to be the treatment of choice for the peripheral arterial disease, the results of which depend on the physiological forces on the arterial wall, the anatomy of the vessels and the characteristics of the lesions being treated. The atheromatous disease includes, in a simple way, 3 categories of plaques: calcified, fibrous, and lipidic. The study of these plaques and their differentiation in imaging and histology in the FPAS has already been the subject of research. To treat them, there are angioplasty balloons and stents with different designs and components, with different mechanical properties and different impregnated molecules. There is no non-invasive method (imaging) to accurately differentiate lesions along the FPAS. The analysis is performed from the preoperative CT scan, but there are high-resolution scanners that allow a quasi-histological analysis of the tissue. This microscanner can be used ex vivo. In the framework of a project, the learning algorithm was be créated (Convolutional Neural Networks) to automatically segment microscanner slices: after taking FPAS from amputated limbs, we correlated ex-vivo microscanner images of the arteries with their histology. The correlation was then performed manually between the microscanner images, and the histological sections obtained. the algorithm well be trained on these slices and validated its performance. The validation of the CT and microscanner concordance was the subject of scientific publications.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical, imaging results of endovascular revascularization of the aorto-iliac sector in comparison with aortobifemoral bypass and the hybrid approach, in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the iliac sector classified as type C and D by the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC II
Background: The treatment of patients with complex aortoiliac disease (AID), classified as Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society consensus II (TASC) class C and D, presents a dilemma for vascular surgeons. Current guidelines recommend either open surgical reconstruction (OR), hybrid repair (HR) combining iliac stenting with femoral endarterectomy, or total endovascular repair (ER). While traditional OR with aortobifemoral bypass (ABF) is associated with excellent long term patency results, it is associated with significant perioperative morbidity with some studies citing mortality rates of up to 4-8%. The advancement of endovascular techniques has led to many trials suggesting that endovascular management of TASC II C and D lesions is a potential alternative treatment to open strategies mainly in the subset of patients with high surgical risk, given the substantially less perioperative morbidity and mortality compared to OR. Aim: The aim of this trial is to evaluate the short, mid-, and long-term results of open repair, hybrid and endovascular repair in the treatment patients with complex, TASC C and D, aortoiliac lesions. Methodology: This is a retrospective cohort study planning to include vascular surgery centers from the following countries: Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Serbia. Data will be collected on demographics, baseline comorbidities, anatomy and morphology of the aortoiliac and femoral bifurcation disease, intraoperative, postoperative, and follow-up data. Propensity score analysis will be performed by matching open repair patients in all three groups (open, hybrid, and endovascular repair) controlling for demographics, baseline comorbidities, anatomical and morphological data. Endpoints: Primary endpoints are all-cause mortality and the major adverse limb events (major amputation - below and above the knee, new onset acute limb ischaemia, reintervention of the treated arterial segment). The secondary endpoints are the 30-day complications and primary patency.
patients with peripheral arterial disease are recommended to perform all exercise forms including elliptical type. electromagnetic treatment addition to exercise may increase benefits of this exercise
