Filter by:Sarpogrelate hydrochloride, a selective 5-HT2A antagonist, has been widely used as an anti-platelet agent for the treatment of PAD. DP-R202 is a new Sarpogrelate hydrochloride product improved patient's convenience and disadvantage of dosage regimen of previous drug. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of DP-R202 and Anplag® Tab in patients with PAD
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).
1. To perform an observational analysis to determine if mean translesional gradient measurements (TLG) are associated with differences in clinical outcomes in patients with femoropopliteal arterial disease and claudication. 2. Hypothesis: Patients stratified by a residual translesional gradient </= 11 mmHg after peripheral revascularization or angiography alone will have better clinical outcomes than patients with TLG > 11 mmHg as assessed by six minute walk (6MW), walking impairment questionnaire scores (WIQ), ankle brachial index and need for repeat procedure at 6 months.
Sildenafil has shown potential effects both on vasodilator mechanisms and as an inhibitor of the NO/GMPc Pain activation. The investigators aim at estimating the benefit of sildenafil in term of morbi-mortality in patients with arterial claudication on a multicenter prospective double blind study.
This study will take the first step to improve public health for millions of Americans with Peripheral Arterial Disease who have extreme difficulty walking due to leg pain. The investigators will assess a proof of concept, home administered, functional electrical stimulation (FES) system to resolve pain, improve walking, and enhance quality of life.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) due to lower limb arterial blockages affects significant proportion of the population with an age-adjusted prevalence of approximately 12%. Claudication induced walking impairment can be debilitating and adversely affects social, leisure, and occupational activities in many patients and is associated with higher mortality among PAD patients. Unfortunately, very few effective therapies are available to improve leg symptoms and exercise performance in PAD patients. Surgery is the last resort but results vary. Therefore, there is a large unmet need for medical therapies that can improve long-term walking performance and functional capacity in PAD patients. Danshen and Gegen (D&G) are commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. D&G study has been extensively researched and continued at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for their antioxidative and vasodilator properties, modulate anti-atherosclerosis and improve arthrogenic athophysiology. Three randomized trials were completed at the CUHK showing D&G improved lipid profile, vascular function and thinned down the internal layer of the carotid artery. One may expect the same with lower limb arteries. Extensive clinical experiences of use in China and Hong Kong indicated that D&G are well tolerated and safe. This project is a randomized control trial to determine the efficacy and Safety of D&G in improving the functional capacity & QoL in patients with symptomatic PAD. The results of this study have the potential to change local and international practice in providing a much needed therapeutic option in the treatment of PAD.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the use of the study drug (Exparel) is safe and effective for treating circulation problems and pain in the hand or fingers.
This study evaluates the performance of the CorPath 200 System to deliver guide wires and balloons to blockages in the arteries of the leg.
Shockwave Medical, Inc. intends to conduct a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and performance of the Shockwave Lithoplasty™ System in subjects with moderate to heavily calcified peripheral arteries with 3.50mm to 7.0mm reference vessel diameter at the target site. The Shockwave Lithoplasty™ System is indicated to generate sonic shockwave energy within the target treatment site and disrupt calcium within the lesion to allow for subsequent dilation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. Up to sixty (60) subjects will be enrolled and treated with Lithoplasty to yield thirty (51) evaluable subjects complete the study assuming a 15% lost to follow-up rate.
