Filter by:The Auryon Laser Atherectomy System has been cleared by the FDA to treat infrainguinal arterial disease including in-stent restenosis
The rationale of this study is to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of the Oceanus 14pro, Oceanus 18 and Oceanus 35 Balloon Catheters, the Luminor 14m and Luminor 18 Drug Coated Balloons, the Angiolite BTK Sirolimus Eluting Peripheral Stent System and the Sergeant Peripheral Support Catheter in a real-word population of 143 patients who underwent an endovascular intervention the popliteal and/or infrapopliteal arteries within standard-of-care (SOC) where at least 1 of the investigational products from iVascular were used.
Peripheral arterial disease is a common, under-treated and under-researched issue. The vast majority of these patients often have multiple issues which can be improved with targeted behavioural change interventions. NICE has recommended that supervised exercise is the mainstay of treatment for intermittent claudication (ischaemic muscle pain on walking due to blocked and narrowed arteries). However, in the vast majority of UK hospitals, this isn't undertaken, and with the issues around group-based sessions and repeated visits to hospitals, this treatment option is not available with the coronavirus pandemic. This is a single-centre randomised control trial in 60 patients with peripheral arterial disease attending the Freeman Hospital. Patients will be randomised to either an enhanced behavioural change intervention targeting multiple health behaviours vs a simple walking intervention. Also, some patients will be involved in focus groups to understand their experience of the intervention and whether it is feasible and acceptable, allowing changes to be made to the program. The primary outcome will be to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the program. We will also be assessing multiple secondary outcomes including functional capacity, quality of life, sleep quality and smoking and alcohol reduction.
ORIGINS-RCE is an observational, cross-sectional, two-arm study aimed at determining if an individual's ethnic origin influences the number of blood vessel-forming stem cells in the bloodstream. Circulating progenitor cells will be enumerated and the distribution patterns of these cell types will be assessed to determine if these parameters differ between individuals of South Asian origin and European origin. Specifically, this study will evaluate if differential regenerative cell exhaustion (RCE) may account, at least in part, for the differences in cardiovascular risk reported between individuals of South Asian vs European origin.
A prospective randomized trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of spot stent system versus self-expanding peripheral stent system in the endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal arterial stenotic disease.
The Purpose of the Clinical Testing Study in Peripheral Arterial Disease (CTS-PAD) study is to compare measurement outcomes between conventional Ankle-Brachial Index test for Peripheral Arterial Disease with a new imaging technology from which the same data can be derived, in a series of patients referred to Vascular Surgery Clinics at the University of Rochester for suspected peripheral arterial disease.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate and provide long term clinical data on safety and performance of the Exist 6F NiTi stent system type FLEX & PULL in a prospective investigation for the treatment of adult patients with de novo or re-stenotic symptomatic atherosclerotic lesions in Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) requiring treatment of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) or Proximal Popliteal Artery (P1 segment).
Intermittent claudication is the most common symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The recommended therapy is supervised exercise therapy combined with lifestyle counselling, provided by a physiotherapist. Ideally, during the treatment process patients' values and preferences are incorporated with evidence-based knowledge; shared decision making (SDM). Evidence shows the use of SDM in daily practice is scarce. Therefore, personalized outcome forecasts which provide insight into an individual's personal prognosis (called KomPas) were implemented in 2020. Now, as a next step, KomPas is further developed into a guideline-based clinical decision support system. The result is called KomPas+, a tool which integrates the person-centered approach of KomPas with the guideline recommendations for the conservative treatment of people with intermittent claudication.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of implementing KomPas+ in the physiotherapeutic treatment of patients with intermittent claudication on functional walking distance and health-related quality of life. Secondary, the level of SDM and person-centeredness of physiotherapists using KomPas or KomPas+ will be assessed. Third, the implementation process will be evaluated.
Many patients with blockages in the arteries in their legs (peripheral arterial disease, "PAD") suffer from pain in their legs when walking. Exercise therapy is known to decrease pain levels as well as increase the distance that patients with PAD can walk. The purpose of this study is to understand whether home exercise using a digital exercise monitoring system (LIVMOR) with provider supervision/ feedback will improve walking distance compared to those undergoing home exercise using the same monitoring system but without provider supervision/ feedback.
Upper limb arterial disease is a rare condition compared to lower limb arterial disease. In the lower limb, chronic limb ischemia (CLI) is characterized by an intractable pain or an ulceration present for at least 2 weeks. Guidelines recommend to use Transcutaneous Oxygen pressure (TcPO2) measurement when a CLI is suspected to establish diagnostic with a threshold of 30 mmHg when ankle and toe systolic pressure are not available. In the upper limb, there is no guideline to define CLI. When there is a wound preventing finger pressure measurement, TcPO2 is theoretically indicated. However, there is neither standardized site to measure nor threshold value of TcPO2. The investigators hypothesized that normal TcPO2 may be different in the upper limb and that threshold value for CLI may also be different compared to lower limb. The investigators planned a study with two parts: 1. Prospective study of normal TcPO2 value in healthy volunteers 2. Retrospective analysis of patients with upper limb arterial disease to approach the TcPO2 threshold of CLI allowing healing in upper limb
