Filter by:The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate and provide long term clinical data on safety and performance of the Exist 6F NiTi stent system type FLEX & PULL in a prospective investigation for the treatment of adult patients with de novo or re-stenotic symptomatic atherosclerotic lesions in Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) requiring treatment of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) or Proximal Popliteal Artery (P1 segment).
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a major risk factor for lower limb amputation. Microvascular reactivity assessed with near-infrared spectrometry has been studied in people with PAD but not in people with limb loss (PLL) who have PAD. The purpose of this research is to explore whether near-infrared spectrometry measures can contribute to identifying people at risk for amputation. Specific aims include: 1) Determine the test-retest reliability of near-infrared spectrometry measures in people with peripheral artery disease with or without major unilateral amputation. 2) Determine construct validity of near-infrared spectrometry measures compared to 6-Minute Walk Test, and time to claudication onset; and self-reported prosthetic mobility in people with transtibial amputation. This methodologic prospective study with repeated assessments and long term phone follow-up every year to identify any subjects that undergo revascularization or amputation will include 2 groups of subjects: a PAD group enrolled from an out-patient walking program, and a PLL+PAD group who receive no care but have their walking step counts monitored.
Prevalence of PAD and osteoporosis (OP) both get higher with age. Clinical and epidemiologic evidence have showed an increased cardiovascular risk in OP and bone loss and fragility fractures in patient with cardiovascular disease. This study will examine the relationship between vascular disease in legs and sBMD and vBMD at trabecular and cortical sites and bone microarchitecture.
Clinical study to investigate the safety and the efficacy of the URECA CTO Device during recanalization and mechanical re-entry into the true lumen after passing the occlusions/calcifications (chronic total occlusions) in the peripheral vasculature.
The purpose of this study is to identify the type of patients being referred for the Vascular Rehabilitation Program (VRP) and to study the success rates of the program according to improvements in walking distance and quality of life surveys. Subjects will be in the VRP for 6-12 weeks and then be followed for 12 months after they complete the program. This is a single-site study at Baylor Scott & White Heart Hospital-Plano.
The purpose of this study is to apply Avazzia micro-current stimulation to patients with chronic, non-healing wounds to determine if this therapy is effective in perfusion and bacterial measurements.
The investigators have developed an online program to help people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in their extremities to better self-manage their condition. Some earlier testing has been done and the investigators now wish to try this system with participants who have this blood vessel disease as well as high blood pressure. Investigators are hoping to help these participants to achieve healthier lifestyles and improve their quality of life through education, monitoring and continuing support. A similar online desk-top version with over 30 participants has been tested at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. The investigators propose to test this newer mobile system with 210 outpatient participants from Hamilton General Hospital. Data collected will be analyzed following the (12 months for each participant) study, along with data recorded during clinical visits at baseline and twelve months for each participant. The objective is to evaluate changes to participant health and determine whether the health self-management process has been successful in improving participant lifestyles and quality of life, when compared to usual care.
This study is a prospective, interventional, non-randomized study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Noxsano Bandage (study device) in healthy subjects and wound care subjects with a diabetic lower extremity ulceration and/or arterial insufficiency lower extremity ulceration.
Non-randomized, multi-center, longitudinal study of healthy subjects and subjects with PAD who are scheduled for ABI, TBI, and either Duplex Ultrasound or Angiographic assessments in a vascular clinic.
