Filter by:Non-randomized multicenter post-market study to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the CE-approved Camouflage-coated self-expandable RESISTANT Camouflage stent system for revascularization of de novo stenotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery in 100 compliant patients suitable for stent angioplasty. The CE-approved device will be used according to its intended use. Beyond the standard of care no further interventions are scheduled. Therefore, this trial is subject to the exception to the rule §23b of the German Medical Device Act (MPG), which includes the national implementation of EC directive 93/42/EEC.
To determine in patients with symptomatic femoropopliteal lesions whether percutaneous revascularization with paclitaxel-eluting balloon angioplasty (PEB) and provisional nitinol stent is superior with respect to the 12-month incidence of restenosis compared to treatment with systematic paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) angioplasty
The primary objective of this prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multicentre, Open Study is to investigate the inhibition of restenosis by the Paclitaxel-eluting Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon Freeway versus PTA alone in the treatment of de-novo occluded, stenotic or reoccluded, restenotic superficial femoral (SFA) or popliteal arteries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and performance of the balloon-expandable Zeus CC (Rontis AG) stent for the treatment of Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) A, B, C and D iliac lesions.
The purpose of this study is to test and validate a new questionnaire in order to get a "walking estimated limitation calculated by history (WELCH) in patients referred for vascular investigations.
The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) defined as ankle-brachial index (ABI) less than 0.9 was about 15~30% in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), which was higher than those with normal renal function. A lower ABI and a higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) are good markers to predict the risk of PAD and atherosclerosis respectively. In addition, baPWV>2,100 cm/s was shown to be related to potential PAD. ABI <0.9 was positively associated with vascular access failure in hemodialysis (HD) patients and our previous study has demonstrated that far infrared (FIR) therapy can improve access flow and unassisted patency of atrioventricular (AV) fistula. The aims of this study are to evaluate (1) the frequency of and (2) risk factors associated with abnormal ABI and PWV as well as (3) the effect of FIR on ABI and PWV and markers related to endothelial dysfunction in HD patients.
The aim of the investigators' study is to analyze the value of supervised exercise training combined with medical therapy versus best medical treatment only with respect to quality of life. Furthermore, the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of supervised exercise training on microcirculation, peripheral endothelial progenitor cells as well as on future major cardiovascular adverse events.
