Filter by:The specific study aim is to determine whether a 12-week digitally delivered behavior change intervention for patients with peripheral artery disease increases walking ability, reduces smoking, improves quality of life and improves medication adherence. The primary and secondary endpoints will primarily be captured at a 12 weeks follow-up visit, but a follow-up visit after 12 months is also planned; to assess longer term effect on outcomes and healthcare cost.
In the UK there are over 7,000 leg amputations each year because of diabetes. The most important cause of this is poor circulation. The detection of poor circulation in patients with diabetes is difficult. A number of tests exist to detect poor circulation (known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD)). However, there is confusion as to which is the gold standard. The DM PAD study aims to determine the diagnostic performance of index tests (audible handheld Doppler, visual handheld Doppler, ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI), exercise ABPI and toe brachial pressure index (TBPI)) for the diagnosis of PAD in patients with diabetes as determined by a reference test (CTA or MRA).
To assess the continued safety, effectiveness, and optimal clinical use of the Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System for the treatment of calcified, stenotic BTK arteries. Post-market, prospective , multi-center, single-arm study.
This study investigates whether, compared to standard treatment, immediate restoration of blood flow (revascularization) can reduce complications and improve diabetic foot ulcer healing.
The PERCEIVE (PrEdiction of Risk and Communication of outcomE followIng major lower limb amputation - a collaboratiVE study) study aims to explore how decisions about major lower limb amputations are made by patients and healthcare professionals.
BIOTRONIK cobalt chromium balloon-expandable Dynetic-35 stent in association with Passeo-35 Xeo peripheral dilation catheter for the treatment of peripheral iliac lesions
The Rontis Drug Coated - Peripheral Balloon Catheter is intended for PTA procedure on atherosclerotically stenotic or obstructed vessels and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae in order to improve the perfusion and decrease the incidence of restenosis. In this study, it is intended to use Rontis DCB for treatment of lesions in the femoropopliteal arteries.
Open label, real-world, prospective, multi-center, single arm, post-market surveillance study of the SELUTION SLR™ (Sustained Limus Release) drug eluting balloon (DEB).
A recent position paper calls for effective home-based exercise program for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and claudication to be implemented in real-world care. This randomized-controlled trial aims to test the effects on mobility, hemodynamics and cardiovascular outcomes of a structured home-based exercise program (SHB) compared to walking advice (WA) recommendation intended as usual care, in PAD patients. Male and females PAD patients at Leriche-Fontaine's stage II and aged more than 60 years old will be enrolled. Patients will be randomized in SHB or WA groups. Patients of SHB group will receive a prescription of a home-based walking program during serial testing sessions at the hospital. The program will include two 10-minute sessions/day (6 days/week) of intermittent walking (1-minute work and 1-minute rest while seated) at a prescribed speed converted into a walking cadence and followed at home using a metronome. Two follow-up visits (at weeks 8 and 16) will be performed to evaluate patient adherence and to update the exercise program by increasing the walking speed. Patients randomized in WA group will receive the advice to walk as suggested by the guidelines. In particular, patients will be recommended to gather almost 30 minutes of walking at least 3 times per week; when they will face claudication pain, they will be allowed to rest and restart walking as soon as possible. Outcome measures will be performed at the entry prior to randomization, at the end of exercise programs (6-month) and after 12-month follow up. Primary outcomes will be the pain-free walking distance and the 6-minute walking distance collected during the 6-minute walking test Secondary outcomes will include ankle-brachial index, quality of life, lower limb strength and long-term clinical outcomes including revascularization and mortality.
This study aims to investigate the utilization of intravascular imaging in treatment of tibial vessels in peripheral artery disease and critical limb ischemia (CLI). The primary goal is to compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) with traditional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in determining best treatment strategy and vessel optimization, in an effort to improve long term patency and successful wound healing in CLI. Secondary comparison with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is undertaken when clinically feasible. The hypothesis is that the adjunctive use of intravascular imaging will affect vessel sizing and anticipated treatment modalities, and therein affect the long term primary patency rates.
