Filter by:This is a multi-center, clinical pilot-study of ProEndoTecc Vascular Grafts (6, 7 or 8 mm Diameter) as superficial femoral artery bypass/interponate. The aim of this study is to demonstrate safety of implantation, patency and durability of a new type of vascular graft.
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) to prevent or delay major amputation and/or death in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
The purpose of this study is to compare the different endovascular treatment modalities for the femoropopliteal segment, and to determine technical success, efficacy and patency at mid-term follow-up. Modalities include; Angioplasty/stent (Control group, Guidant), Cryoplasty/stent (Boston Scientific), Laser Angioplasty/stent (Spectranetics), SilverHawk Atherectomy/stent (Fox Hollow), and Viabahn Endograft (WL Gore).
The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Minnow Medical GRST™ Peripheral Catheter System in the treatment of de novo lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or the popliteal artery.
Diabetes is a very common illness. Approximately 4% of British Columbians have diabetes. However, at least 20% of people admitted to acute care hospitals have diabetes. People with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing complications after surgery including infection and prolonged hospital stay, especially if blood sugars are high. The researchers are testing a Diabetes Action Team to see if their involvement in patient care after surgery improves blood glucose control, duration of stay in hospital, and infection rates.
To evaluate a new vascular sealant compared to control for the control of suture line bleeding after vascular reconstructive surgery.
The purpose of this study to compare balloon angioplasty (PTA) vs. cutting balloon angioplasty (CB-PTA) in terms of patency and postintervention inflammation in peripheral artery disease.
Aggressive intraoperative and postoperative management of blood glucose may substantially decrease perioperative cardiovascular and infectious complications in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing vascular surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the tight versus traditional blood glucose control in diabetics and non-diabetics undergoing vascular surgery in regard to their postoperative fatal and nonfatal cardiac outcomes, and the secondary effects such as rate of infections, overall morbidity and 30-day mortality.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of HBOC-201 in increasing adequate wound healing in patients with severe peripheral vascular disease who are undergoing lower limb amputation. The hypothesis is that HBOC-201 will pass through the partially occluded lesions in the peripheral arteries in the lower extremity and promote the wound healing process by delivering oxygen to the oxygen deprived tissues. This will reduce the incidence of lower limb wound complications at 60 days post-surgery and may reduce the incidence of a second amputation.
The specific aims of the project are as follows: To determine whether catheter-based revascularization procedures improve functional capacity and quality of life among patients with intermittent claudication. To investigate whether improvements in walking ability result in a less sedentary lifestyle and improvement of the cardiovascular risk profile.
