Filter by:To assess the proximity of the catheter to the vessel wall and to correlate excised tissue with images collected by the integrated Optical coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging system. The primary endpoints are correlation between OCT images and histological characterization of excised tissue.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Xpert(TM) self-expanding stent in infrapopliteal lesions as part of an overall treatment strategy in patients undergoing percutaneous intervention for the treatment of documented chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI).
The Destiny trial compares the use of bare metal stent systems with drug eluting stent systems in the treatment of infrapopliteal lesions in patients with Critical Limb Ischemia. It will be investigated whether there is a difference in 12 month angiographic patency of the stented area using the 2 different stent systems.
Peripheral venous disease occurs when a vein becomes damaged or blocked. It can occur almost anywhere in the body, but is most common in the arms and legs. This study will examine people who participated in a previous venous disease study to evaluate changes in leg veins and venous disease status over a period of 11 years.
There is increasing evidence of the linkage of type 2 diabetes with low testosterone levels in men.
To compare the outcome of bypass surgery and plaque excision for treatment of critical limb ischemia in the lower limbs
The objective of this study is to investigate what the value is of SET after a radiological or surgical intervention for peripheral arterial disease in the aorto-iliacal, femoro-popliteal and crural segments in comparison with a control group.
This is a Belgian prospective multicentre registry on the performance of the Smart stent in the superficial femoral artery according to the new tasc II-classification.
This study will seek to determine whether non-invasive measures of endothelial function have utility as surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk in patients with peripheral arterial disease undergoing vascular surgery. Measurements of endothelial function will be made before and after initiation of atorvastatin, ascorbic acid, or placebo therapy during the pre-operative period. We will then examine cardiovascular events following surgery. We hypothesize that patients who have no improvement in endothelial function will have increased cardiovascular risk compared to patients with improvement in endothelial function.
The main objective of this study is to assess in-stent late lumen loss in diabetic patients with de novo native coronary lesions using the sirolimus-eluting Bx VELOCITYä stent as compared to the Bx VELOCITY balloon-expandable stent.
