Peripheral arterial disease is part of the diseases derived from arteriosclerosis are the leading cause of mortality in developed countries. There is evidence of the benefits of physical exercise programs supervised in patients with cardiovascular risk. Despite being a treatment with proven efficacy and relatively inexpensive, it continues being little used for the management of patients with intermittent claudication caused by peripheral arterial disease. The objective of this study is to develop an evidence-based intervention strategy on the effectiveness of supervised physical exercise in intermittent claudication to determine its impact compared to standard counselling in these patients.
Intermittent claudication is the most common manifestation of peripheral arterial disease, a common cardiovascular disease that causes blocked blood vessels (arteries) in the leg. Symptoms consist of persistent pain in one or both legs during exercise that is relieved with rest. Evidence suggests that high levels of uninterrupted sitting and sedentary behaviour are associated with cardiovascular disease risk, mortality and all-cause mortality. One of the main goals for treating people with intermittent claudication, is increased participation in physical activity. Supervised Exercise Programmes are recommended however these are not well tolerated and compliance is low. Alternative exercise, including short bouts of physical activity to break up sedentary time, has been suggested to help improve physical function. This study will investigate whether alternative exercise, in the form of breaking up prolonged sitting time, will improve physical function in patients with intermittent claudication. Patients will be screened during their routine clinic appointment at Glenfield Hospital. All other study activity will take place at the patients home. Activity monitors will be worn for up to 8 days at baseline and follow-up, measuring step count and time, inactivity, activity time and intensity, and sleep duration. Participants will also be expected to wear activity monitors for the duration of the 8-week intervention to measure steps. Participants will be in the study for up to 18 weeks in total.
The study will be designed as a prospective clinical trial. Patients scheduled for lower limb arterial bypass surgery will be randomly allocated for treatment with spinal anesthesia associated with spontaneous ventilation (nasal cannula with supplemental oxygen - Group 1) or treatment with general anesthesia under controlled mechanical ventilation (tidal volume 6 to 8 ml / kg of the predicted body weight and PEEP of 5 cmH2O - Group 2).
This study is done to see if semaglutide has an effect on walking ability compared with placebo (dummy medicine) in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo ("dummy") medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine for type 2 diabetes that can be prescribed by doctors in some countries. Participants will get the study medicine (semaglutide or placebo) in a pre-filled pen for injection. Participants must inject it once a week into the stomach area, thigh, or upper arm, at any time of the day. The study will last for about 59 weeks. Participants will have 8 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. At some clinic visits, participants will have blood tests. At some visits participants will also do a treadmill test to measure how far they can walk. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
to investigate the effect of high tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS) on endothelial dysfunction and walking parameters in peripheral vascular disease.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate, in a controlled setting, the long-term (up to 12 months) safety and efficacy of the Solaris Vascular Stent Graft (Scitech) in clinical settings when used according to the indications of the IFU.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate and determine the effects of static magnetic fields produced by a small magnet on peripheral pulses and skin blood flow.
This study will evaluate real-world performance of the CorPath GRX System in peripheral vascular interventions.
The SAFE-PAD Study aims to evaluate the long-term safety of paclitaxel-coated devices compared with non-paclitaxel-coated devices for femoropopliteal artery revascularization among a broad, real-world population of patients with peripheral artery disease. This multi-year analysis aims to create an ongoing mechanism to evaluate the safety of paclitaxel-coated devices in real world practice. The null hypothesis is that the paclitaxel-coated devices are associated with an increase in mortality relative to the non-drug-coated devices beyond an acceptable magnitude (i.e. the non-inferiority margin), and the alternative hypothesis is that paclitaxel-coated devices are not associated with an increase in mortality relative to the non-drug-coated devices beyond the non-inferiority margin.
