Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to establish the prevalence of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD), defined as an ankle-brachial index of less than or equal to 0.9, in subjects with at least two of the specified cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, with no overt cardiovascular disease.
The The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of PLX-PAD single dose, Intra-muscular injection for the treatment of CLI patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of dual intramuscular and intra-arterial autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell implantation for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe peripheral arterial disease in whom amputation was considered the only viable treatment option. Study Hypothesis: Patients with moderate to severe peripheral arterial disease who receive intramuscular and intra-arterial stem cell injections will have improved ankle brachial index (ABI) measurements; relief of rest pain; ulcer healing, if applicable; and absence of major limb amputations.
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether supervised treadmill exercise combined with ranolazine 1000 mg twice daily provides an incremental benefit in absolute walking distance over supervised exercise alone in patients with stable claudication. Investigators also seek to determine if the administration of ranolazine provides a sustained benefit after the completion of a supervised exercise regimen. Lastly, investigators wish to determine whether both exercise and ranolazine improves peak oxygen consumption and anaerobic threshold in patients with stable claudication.
The Jetstream System is a commercially available rotating, aspirating, expandable catheter designed to remove atherosclerotic plaque and blood clots in the lower limbs. The purpose of this study is to use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) during the interventional procedure to measure the amount of plaque and blood clots removed by the Jetstream System.
This research study will evaluate the effects of aspirin and dipyridamole alone and in combination on the blood flow in the vessels of the legs. We will examine how these medications are able to inhibit the clotting of platelets in the vessels of patients with PAD, and thereby affect the blood flow in the legs. Platelets are cells in the blood that have the ability to adhere to each other to form clots.
BALI (Bone marrow Autograft in Limb Ischemia) is a randomized double-blind trial comparing implantation of bone marrow - mononuclear cells versus placebo in patients presenting with critical leg ischemia and no surgical option. The main end point is the survival without major amputation 6 months after implantation. Biological studies are performed on bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) to evaluate their angiogenic properties.
The purpose of this study is to compare the different endovascular treatment modalities for the femoropopliteal segment, and to determine technical success, efficacy and patency at mid-term follow-up. Modalities include; Angioplasty/stent (Control group, Guidant), Cryoplasty/stent (Boston Scientific), Laser Angioplasty/stent (Spectranetics), SilverHawk Atherectomy/stent (Fox Hollow), and Viabahn Endograft (WL Gore).
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a disorder that affects more than 8 million people in the United States. As a result of decreased blood flow to the legs, people with PAD may experience leg pain and difficulty with walking. This study will examine the effectiveness of two exercise programs—a treadmill walking program and an aerobic arm exercise program—at increasing walking distance and decreasing leg pain in people with PAD.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the intermediate and long-term effectiveness of stand-alone atherectomy treatment of peripheral arterial disease in the legs.
