Active clinical trials for "Ischemia"

This research is primary to compare effectiveness of scalp electroacupuncture and scalp acupuncture on motor function of the upper limb(UL) in convalescence phase of ischemic stroke. The clinical research is a randomized controlled trial (RCT),consisting of two arms of scalp electroacupuncture group and sham sclp electroacupuncture group to value difference of upper limb function after 4 weeks. The result indicates that scalp electroacupuncture is more sufficient to alter function. The purpose is to value effectiveness of scalp electroacupuncture on motor function of the upper limb in convalescence phase of ischemic stroke.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a new version of a coronary artery stent for treating blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. The Amaranth Medical APTITUDE scaffold releases a drug (sirolimus) to reduce the likelihood of the treated blood vessel developing a new blockage. In addition, the scaffold dissolves away over time, leaving no permanent implant after the blood vessel has healed.

This registry is a clinical post-market evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES)

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Huatuo Zaizao Pills in improving neural function and life quality in patients with acute ischemic stroke in China.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of infra-popliteal arteries in patients suffering peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) provides good results in terms of limb salvage. During the last decade, drug eluting balloons (DEB) were found to be an effective tool for the treatment of atherosclerotic disease in several arterial districts. Aim of this study is to compare results of DEB PTA versus standard PTA of infra-popliteal district in patients with CLI, from a single-centre prospective randomized trial.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a new coronary artery stent for treating blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. The Amaranth FORTITUDE scaffold releases a drug (sirolimus) to reduce the likelihood of the treated blood vessel developing a new blockage. In addition, the scaffold dissolves away over time, leaving no permanent implant after the blood vessel has healed.

A.R.I.S.E. is a post approval observational study using standard care. The purpose of this study is to collect information about the ability of the EmboTrap device to remove blood clots from the brain, and the associated performance characteristics and clinical outcomes. No formal hypothesis testing is needed as no comparisons are planned within the study. Instead, estimates of each population parameter of interest for all primary and secondary endpoints will be provided using appropriate confidence intervals.

Cardiac pathology is a major risk for brain injury and neurodevelopmental deficit. The most common cause of cardiac pathology is congenital heart defects (CHD) about 4-8/1000 live births a year. The most common etiology of the brain insult is hypoxic ischemic injury (HII) as result of hemodynamic instability in the perioperative period. Similar insults in adults with cardiac arrest or infants with neonatal asphyxia, was successfully treated with hypothermia, initiated within 6 hours after the event. Although, hypothermia is most likely an effective treatment for HII in children with cardiac anomaly, it also carries a risk for bleeding or infection of the surgical wound. In this randomized control trial, hypothermia treatment will be compared to normothermia treatment of patients in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) following severe HII in the PCICU or operating room. The effect will be quantified by MRI, serum biomarkers of brain injury, amplitude integrated EEG, neurological evaluation coagulation and infection evaluation in the acute phase and by developmental assessment at 1, 6 months and 2, 5 years. Favorable effect of hypothermia with minimal risks may open the door for the implementation of hypothermia as a standard care in PCICUs.

Prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study A total of 390 subjects with critical limb ischemia will be included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 manner into triple antiplatelet therapy (TAP: aspirin, clopidogrel, cilostazol) group, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAP: aspirin, clopidogrel) A group, or DAP (aspirin, cilostazol) B group. All patients will be treated with angioplasty for critical limb ischemia. Patients will be followed clinically for 1 year after the procedure. Ankle-brachial index and Image study follow-up (Duplex US or CT angiography) will be performed at 1 year.

Stem cell therapy has been a new and effective therapy in recent years for diabetic foot.This study intends to establish an optimal clinical research program, and attempts to break the technical bottleneck in the stem cell therapy for treating diabetes related vascular complications.
