Filter by:This is the second part of a research study in order to determine if using a specialized pulse oximetry probe with external heat pack will help obtain oxygen saturation (SaO2) and heart rate (HR) during monitoring for patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD), vasoconstriction, and hypothermic extremities. The inability to obtain accurate SaO2 and pulse readings can lead to misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, or procedures to be canceled. SaO2 and pulse readings are important to maintain patient stability during diagnostic testing, surgical procedures and monitoring while in critical care areas. Changes in SaO2 and pulse are important to monitor in order to be able to compensate for any decrease in patient oxygen saturations during hemodynamic monitoring. The primary aim of this study is to determine if using a specialized pulse oximetry probe with external heat pack will improve oxygenation readings in order to obtain SaO2 and pulse readings in patients with PVD, vasoconstriction, and hypothermic extremities as compared to readings obtained from an arterial blood gas. The hypothesis is using a specialized pulse oximetry probe with external heat pack will help obtain more accurate pulse oximetry readings consistent with values obtained with an arterial blood gas.
The purpose of the registry is to gather both retrospective and prospective case data on the use of the commercially available Magellan Robotic System and Magellan Robotic Catheters in accordance with the approved intended use. For prospective cases, follow-up patient data will be collected at 14 days (± 5 days) post procedure to assess treatment success, primary patency of intended targeted vessel region, and adverse events. The data will be analyzed for medical education, societal presentation, and/or publication by the investigators. Over the next 2+ years, physicians who meet the selection criteria will be invited to participate in the registry.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of Prevena therapy on decreasing groin surgical site infections in patients who are obese and /or diabetic having vascular surgery.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the early and mid-term outcome (after 6 and 12 months) and the long-term (up to 24 months) outcome of the Zilver PTX paclitaxel-eluting stent (Cook) versus bypass surgery for the treatment of TASC C&D femoropopliteal lesions.
IVUS imaging will be utilized to assess performance of the Sponsor's Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) followed by adjunctive balloon angioplasty (BA) in patients who have symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurring in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA), Popliteal (POP), and/or Tibioperoneal Trunk (TPT).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells are effective in the treatment of lower extremity ischemia.
The proposed PIVOTAL study will examine a panel of platelet/coagulation activity markers during the perioperative period. The goal is to develop a clinically useful assessment of platelet/coagulation activity for risk stratification that may ultimately serve as a target for therapeutic intervention. This study will enroll 200 patients with peripheral artery disease undergoing vascular surgery. PIVOTAL is funded by American Heart Association and is scheduled to begin enrollment in July 2013 for approximately two years.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel, tissue-engineered vascular prosthesis, the Human Acellular Vessel (HAV). The HAV is intended as an alternative to synthetic materials and to autologous grafts in the creation of an above-knee femoro-popliteal bypass graft in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
This is a randomised controlled study of patients suffering from intermittent claudication (IC), to assess the impact of wearing a Nike FuelBand (NFB) on walking distances, exercise levels and quality of life.
In this investigation, the investigators will attempt to demonstrate that patients who have received nerve blocks (regional anesthesia) prior to open surgical vascular bypass of the lower extremities (infrainguinal bypass grafting) will have improved surgical outcomes namely a reduction in the rates of death, wound infection, graft thrombosis, graft revision, and amputation. As well, the investigators anticipate that patients who have undergone regional anesthesia for infrainguinal bypass grafting will have improved secondary outcomes with respect to a decreased length of stay, narcotic consumption, nausea and vomiting, post-operative cognitive dysfunction, major cardiac events, post-operative pain, and hyperglycemic episodes.
