Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Viabahn endoprosthesis for treating long femoropopliteal lesions (stenosis ≥ 25cm, occlusion ≥ 15cm) or recurrent in-stent restenosis compared to drug-coated balloons (DCB) with or without a bailout bare nitinol stent.
This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-center, 1:1 randomized pilot study. The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy in comparison to standard lesion preparation using standard and/or high-pressure balloon angioplasty in patients with femoropopliteal artery disease. All patients will receive subsequent Supera stent implantation at the operator's discretion. Additional standard nitinol bare metal stent (BMS), drug-eluting stent or covered stent implantation is at the operator's discretion. Patients will be stratified for total occlusions.
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual diabetes group visits on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Verify the effectiveness and safety of rapamycin coated balloon dilation catheter for the treatment of dialysis pathway stenosis or blockage lesions.
Salvaging a threatened limb is the key therapeutic objective for patients with critical limb ischemia, and the achievement of limb salvage is an independent predictor of patient morbidity and mortality. Despite successful primary endovascular or surgical intervention, the corresponding symptoms of rest pain and/or non-healing ulceration in some patients may continue, and amputation in these patients is unavoidable. It is hypothesized that the functional integrity of the peripheral vascular microcirculation may be impaired in these patients. However, there are currently no techniques that allow direct quantification and visualization of the microcirculation due to the micro-vessel invisibility under angiography. In the coronary circulation, coronary flow reserve (CFR) indicates the capacity for maximal hyperemic blood flow and reveals impaired coronary microvascular function. Studies have shown the clinical significance of measuring microvascular resistance to predict myocardial salvage after myocardial infarction. The study will explore whether this concept of coronary flow reserve can be applied peripherally to patients with critical limb ischemia in order to determine whether measuring peripheral vascular flow reserve can determine the integrity of the microcirculation to predict limb salvage after endovascular intervention.
The Global Vascular Guideline on chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) proposes the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS), a new angiographic scoring system to quantify the anatomic severity of infrainguinal disease in CLTI patients. However, GLASS validation still needs to be completed, and the infrapopliteal (IP) target artery pathway (TAP) was easily influenced by the procedures. Thus the IP target artery could be selected either as the least diseased artery based on angiography or prospectively based on the angiosome concept. So the investigators aim to evaluate its correlation with clinical outcomes after revascularization.
This is a Phase IIa, multi-centre study conducted at 3 sites in Singapore (SGH and NUHS, KTPH). 70 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) will be randomised in a ratio 1:1 to receive normal saline control or MEDI6570 400mg by monthly subcutaneous injection for 9 months.
The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized pilot study to evaluate the clinical outcome of the plaque atherectomy system followed by the UltrafreeTM drug coated balloon catheter versus the drug coated balloon in patients with chronic long femoropopliteal lesions.
Diabetes is a serious and chronic disease that affects more than 347 million people in the world. It is the leading cause of death by age and its prevalence is increasing annually throughout the world. Diabetes is a disorder that manifests itself with elevated blood glucose levels that may be the resultof a deficiency in insulin secretion or action, or a combination of both problems. The "Diabetic foot" includes a number of syndromes in which the interaction of the loss of protective sensation by the presence of sensory neuropathy, the change in pressure points due to motor neuropathy, autonomic dysfunction and decreased Blood flow due to peripheral vascular disease can lead to the appearance of injuries or ulcers induced by minor traumas that go "unnoticed." This situation leads to significant morbidity and a high risk of amputation. It can be prevented with the application of prevention programs, based on the early detection of neuropathy, assessment of associated risk factors, along with the application of a structured program of education and treatment of risk factors. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1- Comparison of ulceration rates, decrease in amputation rates in the target population with intervention: LSCI, thermography and creation of personalized insoles versus the control group with assessment, treatment and follow-up, without the intervention of interest in the study. 2- Correlation between changes in perfusion and temperature detected in combination of LSCI and thermography to predict diabetic foot ulcers and the risk of having ulcers. Study Model: Parallel Assignment 1:1 . Patients with inclusion criteria and without exclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups with Randomization with sequence concealment, centralized in computer support. OxMaR (Oxford Minimization and Randomization) After signing the informed consent, the patients will be divided into two groups. Number of Arms 2 Masking: None (Open Label) A-GROUP WITH LSCI, 3D FOOT CREATOR FOLLOW UP B- GROUP WITHOUT LSCI, 3D FOOT CREATOR FOLLOW UP.
A significant challenge in medical care is atherosclerotic occlusion of peripheral arteries, such as lower extremities and brachiocephalic arteries, which can eventually lead to loss of limbs or fatal ischemic strokes. Revascularizing surgical interventions can restore the lumen of the arteries and provide an effective way to treat such patients. However, up to a third of patients need re-intervention or experience cardiovascular complications within a year after surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding the natural dietary supplement Allicor to conventional treatment on the incidence of cardiovascular complications and treatment effectiveness 12 months after revascularization. Another valuable area of investigation is the search for predictors of long-term cardiovascular complications after revascularization, which could be markers of inflammation and heteroplasmy levels in the patient's mitochondrial genome.
