Filter by:ABSORB BTK Study: A prospective, multicenter, controlled clinical evaluation of the use of a bioresorbable drug eluting stent in the arterial vasculature below the knee
Patients undergoing elective revascularization of their peripheral artery disease will be randomized to a prehabilitation program or usual care prior to their scheduled procedure.
This study proposes the use of Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) to test the effects on pain free walking duration on patients with peripheral arterial disease, a condition caused by decreased blood flow to the muscles in the legs.
This study will assess the benefit of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device in patients suffering from symptoms and effects of critical limb ischaemia.
This experimental study will look at the effects of INP therapy for two patient groups: 1) patients with reduced peripheral circulation and chronic wounds in patients with renal disease (dialysis patients); 2) and peripheral arterial disease and leg ulcers. The project is designed as a non-randomized clinical trial with single-subject multiple baseline design. Also the intervention will be subjected on the same leg for each individual throughout the study period. The other leg will act as a control. A baseline measure with patient history collection will be performed before a four-week intervention period. These measures include: Segmental pulse-volume-recording, Segmental skin perfusion pressure with a laser Doppler sensor and a pressure cuff to evaluate reactive hyperemia (Sensilase, Väsamed) and a health survey (SF-12/EQ-5D-5L) or similar. After four weeks and eight weeks of intervention, the same tests will be repeated. A final follow-up test will be two weeks after cessation of the intermittent negative pressure intervention. The study will look at the effect of INP on renal failure patients who are given dialysis at a dialysis center located at Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål. Otivio AS has supplied the FlowOx devices and provided the necessary training to perform this project. Outcome variables assessed before, during and after the 10-week study period will be: wound healing, quality of life, skin perfusion pressure and segmental pulse-volume recording. The aim of this project is to prospectively examine and elucidate the effect of intermittent negative pressure therapy on clinically relevant measures related to the reduction of peripheral macro- and microcirculation in patients with renal failure undergoing dialysis treatment. The hypothesis of the study is: - Application of INP in patients with renal failure, by the use of the FlowOx™ device, will improve wound healing and peripheral circulation in the foot compared to before treatment (baseline) in patients undergoing dialysis treatment. - Application of INP in patients with PAD, by the use of the FlowOx™ device, will improve macro- and microcirculation and wound healing in the foot compared to before treatment (baseline) in patients with chronic wounds.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of standard moist dressings and PICO single-use negative pressure dressings in post-operative lower extremity bypass patients. This study will compare the dressings' ability to decrease swelling, decrease post-operative infection, and improve mobility and quality of life measures. Subjects will be asked to participate in this study because they will undergo a lower extremity bypass using the ipsilateral great saphenous vein. Subjects will then be randomized to two post-operative treatment groups. One group will receive standard sterile gauze and the other will receive PICO single-use negative pressure dressings. Both groups will be assessed for study measures in follow-up visits as clinically indicated up to 1 year with the 30 day timepoint as the primary outcome for study measures.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an arginine enriched oral nutritional supplement in the prevention of wound complications in the the wounds of patients post lower limb revascularization.
This is an interventional study assessing the effectiveness of Ticagrelor on the reduction of thrombus burden using optical coherence tomography in patients undergoing peripheral artery stenting.
The goal is to test the ability to detect improved calf muscle perfusion and energetics in PAD patients in a randomized controlled trial of home exercise therapy. Eighty patients will be randomized to a 12 week home exercise program or no program (control).
Twenty patients will be recruited to CLEAR. Ten will be randomized to the treatment arm (Cilostazol) and tenwill be randomized to the control group. Patients randomized to the treatment arm will receive Cilostazol for 90 days. The primary purpose of this study is to collect quality of life data on patients undergoing peripheral revascularization in order to determine the sample size required to adequately power a trial of Cilostazol versus usual care without Cilostazol and its effect on quality of life.
