Filter by:The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common atherosclerotic disease manifestation and its prevalence increase with age and with the simultaneous presence of cardiovascular risk factors. PAD patients are usually treated, as a first line treatment, with the exercise therapy, combined with the pharmacological antiplatelet therapy. In the case of first line therapy failure, PAD patients usually undergoing to invasive revascularization procedures. After a peripheral stent has been located, the major follow-up problem is the restenosis rate. Published studies describe how, in a large amount of patients, can be recognised an high residual platelet activity. These data about PAD patients at the moment are lacking . The authors would evaluate the incidence of PAD patients with an high residual platelet activity.
The objective of this prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, post-market, observational study is to compile clinical data on percutaneous techniques used to obtain tibiopedal access and to cross infrainguinal arterial occlusions.
The purpose of this study is to collect safety and efficacy data on the IN.PACT Admiralâ„¢ Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) in treatment of atherosclerotic disease in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries in a "real world" patient population.
There is a sharp rise in the rate of coronary heart disease diagnoses and chest pain consultations in the 90 days before a first heart attack. There is some evidence that chest pain and angina symptoms in this period have a beneficial effect on heart attack outcomes in hospital and shortly after discharge. However, the available evidence is lacking in three key areas. First it is based on a retrospective patient report of symptoms after the heart attack has occurred; this means that patients are required to survive their heart attack and may make errors when reporting prior symptoms. Second, evidence for an effect on longer term outcomes, and coronary outcomes in particular (e.g. coronary death, further heart attacks) are unknown. Third, there is conflicting evidence that these effects might differ by age, in men and women, and according to treatment in hospital. The investigators hope to address the limitations in the evidence by performing a large, prospective study of the occurrence, timing and effect of different types of symptoms and disease diagnoses occurring before heart attack. The investigators hypothesise that prospectively collected, clinical measures of chest pain symptoms and cardiovascular diagnoses in primary care will have a beneficial effect on short term coronary mortality and may have a beneficial effect on longer term coronary outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of administering intra-arterial paclitaxel in the femoropopliteal arteries via the TAPAS catheter following percutaneous revascularization to prevent restenosis.
To collect data from real-world use with the Chocolate PTA Balloon Catheter to support the effectiveness of the device for use during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) procedures.
This study is designed to develop a clinical registry of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization to describe the population and assess comparative effectiveness of endovascular therapy versus surgery. In addition, this study will conduct a prospective cohort study of patients treated medically or undergoing lower extremity revascularization at the VA and Kaiser Colorado to compare changes in health status.
Nowadays, stenting is became a standard of care in revascularization for superficial femoral artery (SFA) atherosclerotic lesions. However, the Achilles' heel of this technique remains in-stent restenosis (ISR). While most of local therapies have failed to demonstrate significant benefit, studies for the treatment of SFA ISR are lacking and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty remains the current standard of care for this indication. Recent studies have shown successful results of drug eluting balloon in the treatment of SFA de-novo lesions and of coronary ISR. FREERIDE, a French prospective cohort has been set up to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of drug eluting balloon (DEB) for the treatment of SFA atherosclerotic lesions.
The primary objective of the randomized study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TIGRIS Vascular Stent in the treatment of de novo and restenotic atherosclerotic lesions, ≤ 24cm in length, in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries (SFA/PPA) of patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
The utility of GP1101 will be evaluated relative to that of surgical bypass in the treatment of Femoral/Popliteal Arterial Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease. Efficacy will be measured by comparison to a Surgical Bypass Efficacy Goal, and Invasiveness will be measured by comparison to Surgical Bypass data derived from a retrospective study.
