NCT04800692
This study will focus on people with claudication from peripheral arterial disease. The investigators are researching whether a multicomponent therapeutic can increase the production of Nitric Oxide in the blood and whether that leads to an improvement in pain free walking distance and overall physical activity.
NCT06782100
The goal of this observational study is to identify which plaque lesions in patients with peripheral arterial disease are impenetrable and to determine which devices minimize vessel wall injury. Patients undergoing intervention will have an MRI scan prior to their planned percutaneous vascular intervention to assess the plaque and predict procedural difficulty. Patients undergoing lower limb amputation due to peripheral arterial disease will have their limbs included into a second arm of the study The limb will undergo an MRI scan to assess the plaque. The investigator will then test two different devices and assess the effects of these devices on the vessel wall.
NCT06656988
The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate if an iodinated contrast medium sparing strategy using automated Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Injection prevents Major Adverse Kidney Events up to 90 days (MAKE90) in patients at moderately elevated risk for contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) undergoing infrainguinal peripheral vascular interventions (PVI).
NCT03404180
Surgery performed with nerve blocks and sedation may be safer and provide better pain control compared to general anesthesia and opioid therapy in high-risk patient populations such as elderly and troubled with peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
NCT04927156
BALT has designed an electronic platform to continue collecting clinical data as part of the post-marketing clinical follow-up of its devices. This platform is purely exploratory, without hierarchical order of the objectives and associated outcomes.
NCT05009602
In the UK there are over 7,000 leg amputations each year because of diabetes. The most important cause of this is poor circulation. The detection of poor circulation in patients with diabetes is difficult. A number of tests exist to detect poor circulation (known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD)). However, there is confusion as to which is the gold standard. The DM PAD study aims to determine the diagnostic performance of index tests (audible handheld Doppler, visual handheld Doppler, ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI), exercise ABPI and toe brachial pressure index (TBPI)) for the diagnosis of PAD in patients with diabetes as determined by a reference test (CTA or MRA).
NCT06827691
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of a novel 8 week heat therapy intervention in intermittent claudication compared to usual care controls. Participants will be enrolled on a wait-list control randomised trial testing physiological, mechanistic, and health related outcome measures.
NCT05662787
The RESTORE (ATK) above the knee study is a prospective, non- randomized, multi-center study for treatment of stenotic lesions with the Bolt Intravascular Lithotripsy System.
NCT06735846
The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety and performance of the Guide Wire when used in patients with peripheral vascular or coronary vascular disease for diagnostic or treatment procedures and will be the pivotal trial for this device. This study intends to evaluate the Guide Wire in its ability to successfully deploy an intended diagnostic or therapeutic catheter according to the IFU without any device related deficiencies, time to reach a specified position, and total number of insertion attempts to reach a primary performance endpoint.
NCT06399809
The investigators propose a pilot randomized trial to gather preliminary data to test the hypothesis that Fisetin will reduce abundance of senescent cells in blood, skeletal muscle, and both subcutaneous and inter muscular adipose tissue and improve 6-minute walk distance in 34 people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). the investigators will determine whether greater declines in abundance of cells with senescent markers are associated with greater improvement in 6-minute walk distance in people with peripheral artery disease. In exploratory analyses, the investigators will assess whether Fisetin reduces interleukin-6 (IL-6) and novel senescent markers in adipose tissue, muscle, and/or blood.
NCT04364074
One in every two deaths in the United States is caused by cardiovascular disease. Despite strong mechanistic links established between a diet rich in lipids and the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, therapeutic advances have focused on reduction in either ingestion or synthesis of cholesterol, and reduction in dietary trans and saturated fatty acids and triglycerides. Even in the setting of aggressive high potency statin therapy and global cardiovascular risk reduction efforts, most clinical trials reveal a significant residual cardiovascular risk with, at best, only 30% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events. There exists a significant unmet clinical need for identifying novel therapies for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. This requires identification of additional contributory processes to cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, so that mechanism-based interventions may be developed. Endothelial dysfunction is a pathological state in which there is systemic inflammation of vascular endothelium with consequent expression of pro-vasoconstrictive mediators, thrombotic and atherogenic tendencies. Endothelial dysfunction precedes the development of atherosclerosis and portends an increased risk of future adverse cardiovascular events. Endothelial dysfunction, therefore, can serve as a "barometer" of future cardiovascular risk. Measurement of Flow-mediated dilation ( FMD) is widely accepted as a method to assess vascular endothelial function.
NCT03898570
The purpose of this study is to test if a patient can be directly connected to a quality assurance (QA) database, traditionally known as a registry. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data will be entered into the database directly from a patient's mobile phone from their index procedure for 12 months. The investigators hope this study to be a "proof of concept" for such a distributed registry and evaluate 1) consistency of data acquisition, 2) engagement of patients, 3) overall value of patient-reported outcomes to enhance long term follow up.

NCT04335695
The purpose of this study is to identify the type of patients being referred for the Vascular Rehabilitation Program (VRP) and to study the success rates of the program according to improvements in walking distance and quality of life surveys. Subjects will be in the VRP for 6-12 weeks and then be followed for 12 months after they complete the program. This is a single-site study at Baylor Scott \& White Heart Hospital-Plano.
NCT05373927
The objective of the proposed study is to define independent parameters for the diagnostic assessment of the perfusion situation of the calf muscle based on multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) in a cross-sectional collective of patients with PAD in Fontaine stage II (intermittent claudication) and a healthy control collective (study group 1). The results will be validated using an independent validation group (study group 2).
NCT04276311
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major health problem leading to significant morbidity and even mortality. Patients with superficial femoral artery stenosis make up an important proportion of patients with PAD, and since this type of involvement was reported to be most commonly associated with intermittent claudication, this patient population has been subject to intensive research on methods to prevent disease progression and further complications. Endovascular treatment has become the first-line treatment for low-complexity femoropopliteal (FP) lesions classified as TASC (Trans Atlantic Inter-Societal Consensus) A and B. Conversely, in case of more extensive lesions (TASC C), this treatment is still under debate because of a primary permeability that is difficult to maintain over time. Recently, studies have shown the interest of drug eluting technologies in the treatment of TASC A \& B femoral-popliteal lesions, by significantly improving patency rates compared to uncoated balloons or stents. In this context, the endovascular treatment of FP complex lesions (TASC C) continues to develop widely. During endovascular treatment, the quality of the artery preparation has recently been identified as a factor improving outcomes. The dilatation of the artery with an uncoated balloon or POBA (Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty) is the reference method performed before stent placement or drug-coated balloons. However, some new alternatives to prepare the artery have emerged, using no more dilatation but atherectomy (Jetstream™ system). Atherectomy appears to reduce the risk of dissections and bailout stenting and improve the acute procedural results. Its long term outcome, when associated with drug coated balloons (DCB), has recently been demonstrated in the USA to be superior to angioplasty in a single center study JET-SCE. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the feasibility of atherectomy, using the Jetstream™ artery preparation associated to DCB treatment (Ranger™ Paclitaxel-Coated balloon), in symptomatic patients with claudication (Rutherford 2 and 3) and with complex de novo FP arterial lesions (TASC C).
NCT04566016
The study will be designed as a prospective clinical trial. Patients scheduled for lower limb arterial bypass surgery will be randomly allocated for treatment with spinal anesthesia associated with spontaneous ventilation (nasal cannula with supplemental oxygen - Group 1) or treatment with general anesthesia under controlled mechanical ventilation (tidal volume 6 to 8 ml / kg of the predicted body weight and PEEP of 5 cmH2O - Group 2).
NCT02668250
With the increasing aging population demographics and life expectancies, the number of very elderly patients undergoing surgery is rising. Elderly patients constitute an increasingly large proportion of the high-risk surgical group. Cardiac complications and postoperative pulmonary complications are equally prevalent and contribute similarly to morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay. Specific optimization strategy of general anesthesia has been tested in high-risk patients undergoing major surgery to improve outcomes. Our hypothesis is that a combined optimization strategy of anesthesia concerning hemodynamic, ventilation, and depth of anesthesia may improve short- and long- term outcome in elderly undergoing high risk surgery.
NCT04461717
Prospective observational study of MicroNet covered stent implantation in the elevated risk peripheral lesions (high lesion load, thrombus containing, highly calcified). Open-label, non randomized, single arm observational study. Jagiellonian University Medical College research project.
NCT00895635
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.
