Filter by:The IVL- ELCA DRAGON Registry is a multicenter study that enrolled consecutive patients with stent underexpansion treated with IVL ora ELCA in high-volume PCI centers. The primary efficacy endpoint was device success (technical success with a final stent expansion ≥ 80%). Thirty days device-oriented composite endpoint (DOCE: cardiac death, target lesion revascularization, or target vessel myocardial infarction) was the secondary endpoint.
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is often caused by narrowings in the arteries providing blood to the intestines. Endovascular stent placement is considered the preferred treatment for this condition. Guidelines increasingly support the use of so called covered stents (CS) in stead of bare stents (BMS) for this use but the level of evidence for this is limited. Using CS incur additional costs for healthcare short-term but may prevent recurrence of narrowing and symptoms postoperatively benefitting patients and healthcare. Study Objective: To evaluate the outcomes after stenting of mesenteric arteries using BMS or CS. Study Outcome: Primary stent patency 1 year after placement The trial will also evaluate complications, how often stents need to be reoperated, Quality of Life (QoL) and reasons for subjects death Method: This is a so called prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing CS vs. BMS. This means that one patients have agrred to treatment they will be randomly selected for treatment with either CS or BMS . The stent metal structure is identical in the two implants and the only difference is the graft covering, making this study unique. The study will also collect blood samples for a biobank that will be used to study markers of disease and how these effect treatment outcomes. All patients referred to the Department of Vascular Surgery due to CMI are considered for inclusion if they havechronic symptoms consistent with CMI, significant stenosis or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and are > 18 years Subjects not able to provide informed consent or who have non atherosclerotic cause of CMI, signs of acute loss of blood flow to the intestines cannot participate. Previous stent treatment in the superior mesenteric artery, pregnancy, allergies to contrast or stent materials are also reasons for not being included in this trial. Side effects, risks and disadvantages for participants The risk for procedure-related complications is less than 5% and similar in both study groups. Most short-term complications are related to vascular access sites and consist of local bleeding and thrombosis. Other potential complications include impaired renal function due to contrast use, contrast allergy, arterial dissection and death.
In acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion, rescue intracranial stenting has been recently a treatment option to achieve recanalization in patients with the failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Nevertheless, there are few studies supporting this beneficial treatment in two cerebral circulations. We aimed to analyse whether the use of rescue intracranial stenting would improve prognosis of patients at 3 months.
Study of long-term outcomes of colonic stent as a "bridge to surgery" for malignant large-bowel obstruction.
The ASPIREX®S Endovascular System is a rotating and aspirating catheter system. It is intended to be used for the percutaneous transluminal removal of fresh thrombotic or thromboembolic material from native blood vessels (or vessels fitted with stents, stent grafts or native or artificial bypasses) outside the cardiopulmonary, coronary and cerebral circulations. CAPTUREX® , a catheter with a filter basket, is intended to be used for the filtering of emboli from blood vessels during potentially embolizing procedures on the patient. ASPIREX®S and CAPTUREX® are CE-marked (Class III) medical devices. In this study the effectiveness and safety in the removal of thrombi in veins is assessed under real life setting.
Less than 20% of patients with malignant distal bile duct (BD) obstruction (often pancreatic cancer) are suitable for resection surgery.In the rest,palliation treatment comes into focus. Jaundice caused by BD obstruction gives pain, infection (cholangitis), often itching and increased weight loss, and the patient is stigmatized by the deep yellow colour of the skin.Therefore palliation with endoscopic stenting by ERCP-technique is important. Modern self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are now widely used in this context. Comparison in a RCT between steel and nitinol SEMS has never been performed. The steel stent (Wallstent®) is the "original",is widely used, and has more expanding power. Nitinol stents are softer and claimed to be easier to insert,and are more and more popular.A newly developed nitinol stent (Wallflex®)may have these advantages, but is some 120 Euros more expensive. Regarding the most important outcome measure, time to stent failure (obstruction), no one knows if there is any difference.Our hypothesis is that there is no difference in this main outcome endpoint.
