Filter by:The purpose of this prospective study is to gather procedural use and safety data on the initial use of the Magellan Robotic System with the Magellan Robotic Catheter 6 Fr, Vascular Accessories 6 Fr and Microcatheter Driver This study will focus on, but not be limited to, endovascular embolization procedures in the peripheral vascular, for example, embolization of the splenic and hepatic arteries, uterine arterial embolization (UAE), prostatic arterial embolization (PAE), and trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE). The data will be analyzed for medical education, societal presentation and/or publication by the investigator.
The purpose of this DEFINITIVE AR Two Year Follow-up Extension Study is to gather data to assess and estimate the long term effect of treating a vessel with plaque excision (PE) in combination with paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty (PTX PTA) compared to treatment with PTX PTA alone.
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
To evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg daily on a background of aspirin 75- 100 mg/d for 12 months or for 1 months will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD at 1 year
The primary objective for this study is to prove the safety and effectiveness of the Spectranetics Turbo-Elite catheter in atherectomy treatment for infrainguinal arteries with catheter to vessel sizing of at least 50%.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells with peripheral arterial disease.
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
DVC1-0101 is a gene therapy medicine to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) based on recombinant F-gene-deleted, non-transmissible Sendai virus (rSeV/dF) expressing human fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) gene. The primary objective of the current Phase IIb study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of DVC1-0101 (1x10^9 ciu/leg, 5x10^9 ciu/leg) in patients with IC.
The investigators hypothesize that among people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD), biomarker levels are higher during time periods immediately preceding an acute coronary event compared to time periods not immediately preceding an acute coronary event. Biomarkers the investigators will study are CRP, SAA, and D-dimer. Biomarkers will be measured at baseline and every two months during follow-up. The primary aims of this study are as follows. Specific Aim #1. Among participants with PAD who experience an acute coronary event during follow-up, the investigators will determine whether biomarker levels measured immediately prior to the coronary event are higher than levels that do not immediately precede coronary events. Specific Aim #2, Part 1. The investigators will determine whether participants who experience a coronary event (cases) have higher biomarker levels at the visit immediately prior to the event than participants who have not experienced a coronary event (controls) at the time of the case event. Specific Aim #2, Part 2. The investigators will determine whether participants who experience a coronary event (cases) have a greater increase in biomarkers during the time period leading up to the event compared to participants who have not experienced a coronary event (controls). To achieve these aims, the investigators will enroll up to 650 participants with PAD and follow them prospectively, measuring blood samples every two months, and ascertaining the presence of acute coronary events every two months.
Remote ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomena first observed in cardio-thoracic patients in which exposing the limbs for periods of short intermittent ischemia produces protective effect on heart muscle. The concept was applied to many other parts of the body and the results are positive so far. No human trials on this concept has been conducted in patients with peripheral vascular disease so far but applying the concept for healthy individuals shows vessels dilatation and animal trials shows degree of new vessels formation in addition to reports of symptoms improvement. The trial candidates will be allocated blindly in 4 groups. All groups will have advice about exercise which is the standard practice now. The first group will have supervised exercise. The second group will in addition to the supervised exercise get the ischemic preconditioning with the blood pressure cuff. The third group will get the ischemic preconditioning and the fourth group will get the standard exercise advice. All candidates will have Magnetic Resonance Image Scan (MRA) for their blood vessels in the beginning of the trial and again at the end. The effect of the RIPC (Remote ischemic Preconditioning) and exercises on patient symptoms, new vessel formation and other parameters will be recorded
