Filter by:To demonstrate equivalence in patency performance of GORE-TEX PROPATEN Vascular Grafts and Thin Walled GORE-TEX Stretch Vascular Grafts in a peripheral bypass application to support a claim of substantial equivalence.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of a vascular stent to maintain an open iliac (leg) artery. The Zilver Vascular Stent is made of nitinol, a flexible metal with a long history of use in medical devices. The stent self-expands once inside the artery where it is intended to hold the vessel wall open. Within a few weeks, a layer of cells will grow over the stent helping to hold it in place.
To evaluate the change in walking capacity after a well organized and structured intensive physical training program with supportive pharmacotherapy with Clopidogrel or ASA. It is hypothesized that statistically superior results will emerge from a structured training supported by Clopidogrel as compared to a structured training supported by ASA.
The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that AMG0001 treatment is safe and induces angiogenesis as detected by improved wound healing, reduction in amputation, improved pain at rest and hemodynamic measurement and to assess the effectiveness of the administrative method.
The purpose of this study is to find out if subjecting cardiac high risk patients to non invasive cardiac imaging, followed by treatment will improve survival and quality of life
The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of Magnevist (the study drug) used for MRI of the infrarenal aorta and peripheral arteries. The results will be compared to the results of MRI taken without Magnevist, and with the results of your X-ray angiography.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of the ABSOLUTE™ .035 peripheral self-expanding stent system in preventing restenosis of occluded or stenotic superficial femoral or proximal popliteal arteries.
Primary objective: To evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg o.d. versus placebo (on a background of ASA 75-100 mg/d) will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage and survival, in patients receiving a below knee bypass graft for the treatment of PAD. Secondary objectives: Comparison, between the two treatment groups, of : - Primary patency, - Assisted primary patency, - Cardiovascular death / myocardial infarction / stroke / any amputation above the ankle. - Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) changes from baseline
The investigators want to evaluate the burden of peripheral artery occlusion disease in Taiwan peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients by using ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) and toe-brachial pressure index (TBI). Furthermore, the investigators hope to demonstrate the possible casual factors of peripheral artery occlusion disease (PAOD) in PD patients.
One important clinical challenge in older individuals is maintaining mobility in the absence of pain. Peripheral arterial disease affects up to 12% of adults over 50 and impairs quality of life due to intermittent claudication causing pain and limiting mobility. Conventional therapies have only modest effect in improving symptoms. The investigators hypothesise that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition (with ramipril), which causes arterial vasodilation, also improves clinical symptoms in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
