Filter by:This study aims to determine the usefulness of providing patients with web-based electronically accessed patient information when compared to the provision of written information leaflets.
Biofilm has been identified as the major bacterial phenotype contributing to atherosclerosis. It has become very important to evaluate atherosclerosis and the role of biofilm using advanced technologies. It is also important to understand wound biofilm at a genetic and a molecular level.
The goal of this study is to determine if pre-operative placement of the continuous peripheral nerve block by an anesthesiologist using ultrasound technology is more effective than a continuous peripheral nerve block placed during the surgery by a surgeon for patients undergoing a limb amputation
To study the early safety and performance of the Shockwave Medical System in subjects to demonstrate that the device can safely and effectively deliver localized energy for the treatment of vascular disease.
This is a clinical study of a new self-expanding stent (FlexStent®) designed specifically to cope with the extreme demands of the superficial femoral artery (SFA)/proximal popliteal artery. The arteries are often abbreviated as femoropopliteal. The intent of this study is to demonstrate that the FlexStent® Femoropopliteal Self-Expanding Stent System is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Specifically, the FlexStent® shall meet or exceed the proposed safety and efficacy performance goals established for Femoropopliteal bare nitinol stents in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.
This is a prospective, observational, single-arm, open-label, multicenter, postapproval registry study in China. The purpose of this study is to: - Evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE V EECSS in a cohort of real-world patients receiving the XIENCE V EECSS during commercial use - Evaluate patient compliance to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a weakened and enlarged area in the abdominal aorta, which is a large blood vessel in the abdomen. Large AAAs (>55 mm diameter) carry a high risk of rupture, a surgical emergency that often leads to death due to severe internal bleeding. It has been suggested that regular exercise training might limit the rate at which AAAs develop. However, little is known about the safety and effectiveness of exercise training in these patients. This pilot study will examine the feasibility of supervised aerobic exercise training for patients with small AAAs (30 to 49 mm diameter). The investigators hypothesize that exercise training will be safe and useful for patients with small AAAs.
This prospective, multi-institutional randomized clinical trial of a silver ion eluting dressing material compared to standard dry gauze for closed skin incisions after open surgical revascularizations for peripheral vascular occlusive disease. Based on the ability of the silver to lower the bacterial contamination of these vulnerable surgical skin incisions, the investigators hypothesize that immediate application of Acticoat Absorbent® as a post-operative dressing will reduce closed incisional wound complications in patients undergoing lower extremity revascularizations involving infrainguinal skin incisions compared to standard non-silver eluting dressing material.
A prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled, First in Man study to assess the safety and performance of the coated Passeo-18 Lux Paclitaxel releasing PTA Balloon Catheter vs. an uncoated balloon catheter in patients with stenosis and occlusion of the femoropopliteal arteries.
The purpose of the Universal Registry is to assess the proportion and reasons for which subjects with angiographically significant ULMCA disease requiring revascularization during the time course of this study are not randomized; to compare the baseline characteristics of subjects; and to assess the variability in randomization eligibility and treatment patterns.
