Filter by:Tobacco cessation treatment is needed for individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to improve symptoms, lower cardiovascular risk, and prevent amputation. While such treatment is effective, many PAD patients do not receive cessation therapy. Participants will receive nicotine replacement therapy, counseling, and and complete questionnaires. We hypothesize that integrating tobacco cessation services into a dedicated PAD clinic (OU CVI Limb Preservation Clinic) can improve tobacco cessation rates and improve PAD-related health outcomes in this at risk population.
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the benefits of home-based, leg heat therapy (HT) on lower-extremity functioning and quality of life in patients who suffer from lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). We will randomize 106 patients to one of two groups that either receive leg HT or a sham intervention. The primary study outcome is the change in 6-minute walk distance between baseline and the 12-week follow up. Secondary outcomes include changes in the short physical performance battery score, handgrip strength, quality of life (measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire and Short-Form (SF)-36 Questionnaire), calf muscle strength (measured using a calf ergometer), size (measured by magnetic resonance imaging) and bioenergetics (assessed using phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy), and physical activity (measured by accelerometer).
This study will test whether, among patients undergoing surgery for peripheral artery disease (PAD), the addition of an online multimedia patient education video to the current education regimen will improve PAD knowledge, activation, and self-care engagement. The study will randomize 150 participants to one of 2 groups: current education regimen vs. current education regiment with video. The primary outcome is stage of self-care engagement. Secondary outcomes are PAD knowledge, self-efficacy, and activation. A subset of participants will also be randomly selected to participate in semi-structured interviews. Study duration for participants is 6 months.
The rationale of this study is to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of any of these products in a real-word population of 100 patients who underwent an endovascular intervention within standard-of-care (SOC) of the infra-popliteal vessels, using at least one of the products (named above) from Cordis US Corp.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trail using drug-coated balloon to treat below the knee arterial stenosis or occlusion.
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.
The purpose of this study is to understand how a Best Practice Advisory (BPA) for high-intensity statin therapy in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease impacts prescription rates.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of GENOSS DCB versus IN.PACT Admiral DCB on late lumen loss 6 months after the procedure in patients with de novo or non-stented restenotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery and to evaluate the safety. This clinical trial will be conducted on a total of 118 patients at 11 domestic institutions (taking into account the dropout rate of 30%).
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a cardiovascular disease manifesting from systemic atherosclerosis that blocks the leg arteries and results in insufficient blood flow to the lower extremities. Limb ischemia from PAD is the most common disorder treated within the vascular surgical service of the Omaha Veterans Affairs Medical Center. PAD also accounts for one-third of the operations performed in the VA Medical Centers nationwide. The risk of mortality of Veterans with PAD is substantial; nearly 30% of Veterans with PAD died within 3.8 years of diagnosis. This project aims to establish the feasibility and acceptability of specially designed assistive shoes in patients with PAD and to determine if there are any potential benefits of using these shoes over standard shoes. These assistive shoes may enable patients to carry out desired activities of daily living with less pain and more physical activity. Increasing physical activity will decrease morbidity and mortality. If proven beneficial, the findings will lead to a novel and conservative rehabilitation protocol that directly benefits Veterans nationwide.
The overarching objective of this study is to improve fall prevention efforts in community-dwelling older adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to reduce falls. To accomplish this, the investigators will conduct a feasibility study and pilot the addition of a balance exercise component to existing supervised exercise therapy (SET) programs for PAD. This intervention may be an effective way to help older adults with PAD self-manage their leg pain and walking impairments as well as fall risk. The long-term goal of this research is to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with falls in older adults with symptomatic PAD through the development and evaluation of a balance intervention component implemented within existing exercise programs. Findings from this research may also be translated to the implementation of disease management programs for other chronic conditions associated with fall risk. The rationale for this research is to determine improve disease-specific, comprehensive and fall prevention strategies for older adults with PAD.
