View clinical trials related to Peripheral Arterial Disease.
Filter by:After an episode of acute ischemic syndrome, patients with concomitant peripheral arterial disease have a worse short- and long-term prognosis compared to patients with isolated coronary disease, but the mechanisms responsible are poorly understood. In this population, the presence of high platelet aggregability despite the use of antiplatelet drugs is related to a greater risk of future complications, including heart attack and death from all causes. Thus, the main objective of the present project is to evaluate the role of platelet aggregability, analyzed by optical aggregometry using the AggRAM® equipment, in patients with a history of previous acute myocardial infarction with and without the presence of peripheral arterial disease. Among the secondary objectives, it is worth analyzing platelet aggregability, in both groups, using the Plateletworks® method. This is a case-control study, with groups differentiated by the presence or absence of peripheral arterial disease, matched by sex and age. It is expected that, in the end, relevant aspects related to platelet aggregation will be better characterized in this high cardiovascular risk population, with a likely impact on new therapeutic strategies that can positively influence the morbidity and mortality of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the engagement and usefulness of Care4Today® Connect CAD-PAD digital platform in participants with coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease (CAD or PAD).
The FORWARD PAD IDE Study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm investigational device exemption study, conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Medical Mini S Peripheral IVL System for the treatment of heavily calcified, stenotic peripheral arteries.
The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of implementing a perioperative guided meditation program for patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions that are performed under procedural sedation and analgesia.
An exploratory evaluation of the efficacy and safety of CLZ-BM3D for the treatment of symptomatic peripheral occlusive arterial disease of the superficial femoral artery or proximal popliteal artery
Despite the best medical management, many patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who undergo lower extremity endovascular revascularization experience adverse cardiovascular outcomes and postoperative complications that may increase the risk of acute limb ischemia or amputation. There are no clear molecular associations that could explain the differences in outcomes after endovascular therapy in patients with PAD. The variable outcomes following endovascular therapy may depend, at least in part, on the profile of cytokines involved in inflammatory and atherosclerotic processes. The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the potential use of circulating IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 levels as biomarkers of major adverse limb events (MALE) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in diabetic patients with PAD and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requiring a procedure of endovascular revascularization. The main questions it aims to answer are: - association between serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 at baseline and major adverse limb events (MALE) after lower extremity revascularization. - association between serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 at baseline and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after lower extremity revascularization. Diabetic patients with CLTI requiring lower extremity endovascular revascularization will undergo blood sampling for the dosage of circulating IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 before the endovascular procedure. Incidence of MALE and MACE will be collected in a 12-months follow-up and will be associated with IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels.
The RESTORE (ATK) above the knee study is a prospective, non- randomized, multi-center study for treatment of stenotic lesions with the Bolt Intravascular Lithotripsy System.
This study aims to evaluate the comparative risk of dementia/Alzheimer's disease onset between patients treated with medications that target specific metabolic pathways and patients treated with alternative medications for the same indication.
The objective of this early feasibility study is to assess the safety and performance of the BD™ Sirolimus Drug Coated Balloon Catheter.
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the genomic information previously associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and its importance as an independent risk predictor (expressed in Odds Ratio) when adjusted for traditional risk factors (smoking, diabetes, arterial hypertension, obesity , anxiety and depression, inadequate diet, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption and apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio (ApoB/ApoA1). An unpaired case-control study of individuals over 18 years of age will be carried out. Cases (N = 1867) will be enrolled right after the occurrence of the first atherosclerotic cardiovascular event (Acute Myocardial Infarction, Stroke and Peripheral Artery Thrombotic-Ischemic Events). The ratio between cases and controls will be 1:1. The controls (N = 1867) will be adult individuals over 18 years of age who sought medical care at the same locations for other clinical reasons (no CVD) or individuals without any overt disease. The genetic evaluation will be performed through the association of Low-covering Whole Genome Sequencing (coverage 0.5-5x) and Whole Exome Sequencing (average coverage 30x).
