Filter by:The objective of this trial is to determine if Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can accurately evaluate the degree of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) during a Provocative Elevation Maneuver of the Lower Extremity (PEMLE) test, as compared to routine clinical assessments.
The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of the Modified version of VascuQol Scale as an effective biopsychosocial assessment tool for patients suffering from lower extremity peripheral arterial disease.
The VASCULAID-RETRO study, within the broader VASCULAID project, aims to create artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that can predict cardiovascular events and the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The study plans to gather and analyze data from at least 5000 AAA and 6000 PAD patients, combining existing cohorts and retrospectively collected data. During this project, AI tools will be developed to perform automatic anatomical segmentation and analyses on multimodal imaging. AI prediction algorithms will be developed based on multisource data (imaging, medical history, -omics).
The goal of this Phase 0 clinical trial is to evaluate safety and biodistribution of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease / critical limb ischemia (PAOD/CLI) and healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile (PK: both systemic and local vascular injury site-specific PK) of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC? - What is the biodistribution and internal radiation dosimetry of the tracer dose of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC? - What is the binding and retention time of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC to arteries and atherosclerotic or microvascular lesions? Participants will receive a dose of the [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC (IMP) and PET/CT imaging is performed on days 1, 3 and 7, and follow-up visit 7-14 days post IMP dosing.
Rheumatic autoimmune diseases include conditions such as systemic lupus rheumatoid arthritis systemic sclerosis in which connective tissues are frequently targeted. Autoimmune diseases as a group are among the leading causes of death and morbidity in the industrial world and pose an immense socioeconomic burden despite the considerable accumulative burden of these diseases only a small number of multinational registries for a few selected autoimmune diseases have been devised. Numerous autoimmune inflammatory diseases have been associated with various forms of vasculopathy and increase vascular disease risk such as accelerated atherogenesis and thromboembolic events as digital and acral gangrene secondary Raynaud syndrome arterial aneurysm and different cutaneous ulcer. The etiopathogenesis os increased risk of peripheral vascular diseases and presentation in autoimmune diseases is not entirely clear but multiple contibutors have been explored especially in the context of systemic inflammation and disordered thrombogenesis.
The LIGHT PAD Trial is a Phase II multi-centered randomized clinical trial to collect preliminary data to test whether daily far red light treatment of the lower extremities in people with PAD improves six-minute walk distance, lower extremity perfusion, and ischemia-related damage in gastrocnemius muscle at four-month follow-up, compared to a sham control. Participants will complete 10 minutes of twice daily home treatment with either far red light or a sham light for four months.
The planned study is a Randomized Controlled Monocentric Trial, which will provide evidence on whether early angiography in PTA readiness ("immediate treatment," within 48h) has advantages over the "standard of care", i.e., an elective procedure ("elective PTA") in terms of clinical endpoints such as wound healing and infection according to WiFI classification, amputation rate, "major adverse limb events" (MALE=amputation, reintervention of the vessel, death), but also systemic complications such as "major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events" (MACE=myocardial infarction, stroke, death, restenosis, severe cardiac and cerebrovascular complications). Furthermore, the impact of PTA on the local wound microbiome remains unclear. Altered microbiome composition in ulcers can lead to severe local and systemic infections and complications, including major amputations. Nevertheless, the specific significance of the wound microbiome composition in chronic ischemic ulcers in type 2 diabetes and the impact of PTA on the wound microbiome in type 2 diabetes is unclear. The exact timing for treating pAVD by revascularization in DFS after initial diagnosis is unknown and has yet to be fully understood.
The North Kynouria Project was initiated to study cardiovascular/stroke risk factors by employing mass screening and long-term surveillance of an adult population in the municipality of North Kynouria, in the county of Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece. The North Kynouria Study was initiated to assess modifiable and non-modifiable determinants of cerebrovascular and coronary heart disease.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common vascular disease which commonly causes limb pain and reduced exercise tolerance termed Intermittent Claudication (IC). People with PAD and IC have impaired quality of life, reduced walking ability, and increased mortality compared to those who do not have the condition. Improving physical activity (PA) is important in individuals with IC it can improve function, morbidity and mortality rates. While supervised exercise classes are recommended by healthcare authorities they are geographically sparse, and not always accessible due to individuals walking limitations. While home-based exercise can be accessible and improve walking ability, it can be challenging for people with IC to initially plan, conduct, and stay motivated to complete a walking program unsupported, especially when they experience limb pain when walking. Investigators have shown that Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), a non-invasive pain management device, with aims to improve pain and walking distances in patients with IC may be an acceptable modality alongside advice and support from a physiotherapist to overcome these challenges. Investigators have also shown that motivational interviewing, education, and goal-setting with a physiotherapist (physical therapist) has the potential to increase PA, and quality of life. This study aims to conduct a feasibility trial of four telehealth physiotherapy sessions, alongside the provision of a CE-marked TENS device to reduce limb pain during physical activity. This will be compared to the usual care offered in NHS Lanarkshire
The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of the CSGS sensor to differentiate tissues involved in Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
