Active clinical trials for "Arterial Occlusive Diseases"

The purpose of this PMCF study is to evaluate a minimum of 125 subjects in 1 or 2 sites in France at least 1-year follow-up after surgery until a maximum of 5 years in the indication of abdominal and peripheral arterial surgery not crossing the knee flexion crease. the objectives of the evaluation will describe safety and performance of POLYMAILLE® EXTRA THIN.

To collect data on the routine patterns of use, safety and effectiveness, including the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath 200 System, in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon catheters during PCI procedures.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which means that it is important to find out risk factors of CVD in order to prevent or treat it. In recent years, there has been more and more recognition of a very high prevalence of CV calcification in the ESRD population. Many observational cohort studies have shown that CV calcification in these patients can predict mortality, CV mortality and morbidity. Electrolyte imbalance is easily found in the ESRD patients which may result in vessel calcification. Calcification leads to arterial stenosis and increasing arterial stiffness and then heart afterload, both contribute to the development of CVD. Besides, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia pave the way for a chronic, immune-mediated vascular inflammation and cardiovascular disease. These factors are prevalent in ESRD patients, which would also cause arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness and stenosis would increase the risk of CV events and mortality. Aortic pulse wave velocity is strongly associated with the presence and extent of atherosclerosis and constitutes a forceful marker and predictor of cardiovascular risk. At the same time, high prevalence of peripheral artery occlusion disease (PAOD) should also be found while arterial stiffness and stenosis, which would increase the condition of infection and gangrene. Thus, life safety and quality would be influenced severely and early detection might prevent future amputation. As compared with HD or pre-dialysis patients, uremic patients treated with PD have a higher risk for metabolic syndrome. Therefore, more studies to evaluate the condition of arterial stiffness and PAOD, especially in PD patients, are needed for future management and preventions of CV related morbidity and mortality.

The Thunder Trail is a randomized , double-blinded, placebo controlled German multi-centre study on the efficacy of local paclitaxel for prevention of restenosis in the superficial and popliteal artery.

Patients with acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion were included in this study. The clinical presentation and effect of the recanalization of the SMA was analyzed on follow-up angiography.

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Multi-LOC® peripheral stent system to treat de novo and restenotic lesions (no in-stent restenosis (ISR), no restenosis post drug coated balloon (DCB) after flow limiting plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) and/or DCB dilatations in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and popliteal segments (P1, P2 & P3)

The objective of this study is to collect retrospectively long term safety data in patients who have participated in the previous phase I-II trials conducted with the compound.

The purpose of this Randomized Study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Excel-II DES compared to the EXCEL DES in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.

The Rio Study is a randomized, double blinded German- Swiss- Austria multi-centre trial on the efficacy and safety of ReoPro together with interventional recanalization of TASC D lesions in the SFA and popliteal artery.

A study to assess the effect of negative pulsating pressure therapy on patients with impaired blood flow to the leg caused by arterial disease, to see if the FlowOx device will increase the blood flow to the leg in these patients.
