Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see how safe and effective L carnitine taken with cilostazol is compared to placebo taken with cilostazol for people with intermittent claudication. A second purpose of the study is to see if L-carnitine is absorbed into the blood stream.
Collect data on the use of the Angio-Seal Evolution Device in diagnostic and interventional patient populations.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Complete SE SFA Stent System in the treatment of de novo and/or restenotic lesions or occlusions in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and/or Proximal Popliteal Artery (PPA) in subjects with symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
The BRAVISSIMO trial wants to investigate in a controlled setting, the long-term (up to 24 months) outcome of the self-expanding nitinol Absolute Pro (Abbott Vascular) and the balloon-expandable Omnilink Elite (Abbott Vascular) stent in TASC A&B and TASC C&D iliac lesions. A separate analysis of both patient populations will be performed and listed.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Assurant Cobalt Iliac Stent System in the treatment of de novo and restenotic lesions in iliac arteries of subjects with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
To evaluate early ambulation in patients who receive the StarClose™ VCS post-percutaneous diagnostic procedure.
The purpose of this study is to show if a new delivery system with a modified stent is safe in treating occluded iliac arteries in patients with peripheral vascular disease. The modified Complete SE delivery system is hypothesized to assist physicians with more accurate stent placement reducing the likelihood of stent 'jumping' seen with the use of many self-expanding stent systems.
The purpose of this research study is to compare in patients with double-sided claudication if the transplant of a combination of stem cells obtained from the bone marrow of the same patient will contribute to the formation of new blood vessels in one of the severly diseased ischemic limbs(legs)versus the control limb that receives a placebo product. Limb Ischemia (LI) is a severe obstruction of the arteries which seriously decrease blood flow to the extremities (mainly feet and legs) and has progressed to the point of severe pain and even skin ulcers or sores. LI needs comprehensive treatment since the condition will not improve on its own. The overall goal of treatment is to reduce pain and increase blood flow to improve symptoms or save the leg and feet. In many cases, current options for treatment including medications, surgery or endovascular procedures have not been successful. In the last few years, investigators have explored therapies aimed to increase blood flow to the ischemic vessel by transplanting cells that will promote the development of new vessels in the diseased leg. The study hypothesis is based on the concept that the process of formation of new blood vessels is complex and requires the participation of several types of stem cells and growth factors. The lack of any of these components will produce vessels which are immature and unable to provide appropriated blood supply to the leg. Patients eligible to participate in the this study are those suffering from double-sided claudication with poor circulation or severe leg blockages, which are not candidates for surgical procedures. Once the mixture of stem cells is prepared and the patient's bone marrow is ready, cells will be transplanted into the calf muscle of one the the diseased legs while the other diseased leg will receive the placebo. Clinical study to evaluate and compare the efficacy of the stem cell transplant will be performed for six months post cell transplant.
This study is designed to evaluate the routine use of vascular ultrasound as an aid for proper placement of a femoral arterial sheath during cardiac catheterization and peripheral arterial angiography.
In an observational multi-centre study (HEROS), the effects of starting treatment with rosuvastatin were assessed, on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievement, in patients with a dissimilar high-risk profile who had not been treated with cholesterol lowering drugs at least in the past three months. Also set-up costs of rosuvastatin treatment and proportional changes in LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were studied.
