Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if an MRI technique called Blood Oxygen Level Dependent, or BOLD, can be used to evaluate blood flow in the leg before and after treatment with standard endovascular therapy in patients with chronic lower limb ischemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the application of a negative pressure dressing intraoperatively (Prevena; KCI, Inc) to vascular groin incisions decreases the wound complication rate in high risk patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficiency of outpatient surgery compared to conventional hospitalization in endovascular treatment of occlusive arterial disease. A cost-utility analysis will be conducted from a societal perspective. Patients referred for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) will be randomized in two arms and a 3 months follow-up will be performed.
A physician initiated trial investigating the LEGFLOW Paclitaxel-Eluting Peripheral Balloon dilatation catheter for the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions longer than 15cm. Objective: to evaluate the short-term outcome of the treatment by means of the LEGFLOW Paclitaxel-Eluting Peripheral BAlloon Dilattaion for the treatment of long femoropopliteal lesions (TASC C&D).
The purpose of this study is to compare balloon angioplasty plus SBCV against balloon angioplasty alone for treatment of stenosis within the femoropopliteal artery.
The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the use of the Eximo's B-Laser™ catheter in subjects affected with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in lower extremity arteries.
In this study the investigators will test the hypothesis that short-term consumption of inorganic nitrate (supplied in concentrated beetroot juice) enhances coronary blood flow responses, large artery hemodynamics, and leg oxygenation/exercise tolerance in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Understanding and improving blood flow regulation in the heart and skeletal muscles of patients with PAD is important because exercise triggers symptoms of leg pain and substantially raises blood pressure and myocardial demand in these patients.
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, more frequently clopidogrel, represents the standard of care for the long-term secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) or peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, rates of ischemic recurrences remain high. Vorapaxar is a protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 inhibitor, which exerts potent inhibition of thrombin-mediated platelet aggregation. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are known to be at increased risk of recurrent atherothrombotic events, which translates into worse outcomes, despite the use of standard of care therapy. This is in part due to the hyperreactive platelet phenotype, which characterizes DM patients, and to inadequate response to oral antiplatelet agents, including clopidogrel. Therefore, vorapaxar is an attractive treatment option for DM patients with a prior MI. The pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of vorapaxar in DM patients and how these may differentiate from non-DM patients has not been explored. Further, the role of vorapaxar as part of a dual antithrombotic treatment regimen combined with clopidogrel (and stopping aspirin) represents another important area of clinical interest. The proposed prospective, parallel-design study conducted in patients post-MI or with PAD with and without DM will aim the assess the pharmacodynamic effects of vorapaxar in addition to standard DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel as well as in combination with clopidogrel only following aspirin withdrawal.
There are two ways of approaching atherosclerotic chronic occlusive femoro-popliteal arterial lesion with guide wire. One is the intraluminal approach of passing guide wire through the atheroma, the other is the subintimal approach of passing wire through the subintima of the vessel. Either of these two interventional technique can be chosen depending on the character of the lesions they have their own pros and cons which affects the success of the intervention. The study is limited to retrospective studies to which interventional technique is better for post-procedural recurrence rate, however there is no prospective randomized controlled study.
To investigate the efficacy of the administration of JVS-100 delivered via direct intramuscular injections on a 3 month and 6 month composite endpoint of wound progression, healing and limb loss in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease with non-healing chronic wounds who undergo an open bypass grafting or endovascular procedure for treatment of infrapopliteal disease and are dosed within 12 days and 3 months following the procedure.
