Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of passive calf muscle stretching in patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The main question it aims to answer are: 1. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves calf muscle and vascular health. 2. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves walking performance. Participants will use inflatable ankle splints for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 4-weeks on both days and 4-weeks of no stretching.
Walking is beneficial for adults with peripheral arterial disease. Benefits include the ability to walk for longer periods and general well being (quality of life). This study will look at two types of delivery methods for a home-based walking program. The walking program includes step count goals, information on healthy walking and motivational messages. The two delivery methods include a web-based delivery and an telehealth delivery. Participants are randomized to either one of the delivery methods or usual care. After 12 weeks participants in the web based or telehealth based groups maybe re-randomized to receive a combination of both web-based and telehealth for a second 12 week period. After 24 weeks, everyone is followed for an additional 12 weeks, so the total time a participant is in the study is 36 weeks. At baseline, 12, 24 and 36 weeks the investigators ask participant to walk (slowly) on a treadmill, perform a six-minute walk test, and several questionnaires on quality of life. Vouchers are provided at each study visit. All participants who complete the study also keep their pedometer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of patients who received revascularization of the aorta and peripheral artery at Asan Medical Center.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the Thor system in adult (≥ 18 year old) patients with de novo (new, never treated) calcified lesions in infrainguinal (leg) arteries (peripheral artery disease or PAD). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is the Thor system safe in treating these lesions - Does the Thor system work to treat these lesions Participants will: - Receive treatment with the Thor system - Have follow-up visits at Discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months
This study is a 3-month, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial designed to address the efficacy of the Non-Ischemic Exercise (NICE) program to improve exercise and vascular outcome measures in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The Easy Flype Carbostent™ is a CE-marked nitinol self-expanding stent for superficial femoral artery (SFA) and Easy HiFlype Carbostent™is a CE-marked nitinol self-expanding stent for iliac vessels. The aim of this post-market retrospective study protocl P42201 is to collect clinical data of patients treated with Easy Flype or Easy Hi Flype for the stenosis or occlusion of the iliac artery, femoral artery and first third of the popliteal artery in routine clinical practice. In order to obtain long-term follow-up data, the data collection will be limited to patients that have been treated with these devices at least 12 months prior to the study start.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trail using spot stenting to treat lower extremity post-angioplasty dissection.
This is a single-center, double-arm, open-label, randomized feasibility study that will determine whether a novel clinical decision aid accessed via the electronic health record will be acceptable to both cancer survivors and their cardiologists, will favorably impact appropriate medication use and cardiac imaging surveillance, and will improve clinician and patient decision-making, perception, and behavior towards cardioprotective medication usage and cardiovascular disease imaging utilization.
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.
Tissue perfusion assessment is key to more accurate measurement of foot ischemia, which is in turn an important factor in appropriate treatment decisions. In practice though, tissue perfusion measurements are not routinely undertaken as few practical solutions exist that are easy to use and fit in everyday clinical practice. Pedra has developed a novel easy to use, non-invasive device that can be used in practice to better inform treatment decisions.
