Comparison of 2 Beta Blocker Drugs on Peripheral Arterial Disease in Patients With High Blood Pressure...
Peripheral Artery DiseaseHypertensionThis is a 26-week, prospective double-blind, randomized pilot trial of nebivolol versus an active control, metoprolol succinate, in patients with established lower-extremity peripheral artery disease, hypertension, and at least moderate risk for coronary artery disease.
Physical Activity, Function and Quality of Life in Patients After Endovascular Treatment
Peripheral Vascular DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to investigate how systematic physical training after endovascular treatment influence the durability of the endovascular treatment and how it effects physical function, quality of life and future cardiovascular events.
Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of the FlexStent® Femoropopliteal Self-Expanding Stent System...
Peripheral Artery DiseasePeripheral Vascular Disease3 moreThis 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.
Effect of Plavix on NO (Nitrogen Monoxide) Production of the Endothelial Function
Peripheral Arterial DiseaseTo determine whether in the laser Doppler flowmetric parameters characteristic of endothelial dysfunction at patients with clinically manifest atherosclerosis any change can be detected at plavix (clopidogrel) treatment. Laser Doppler /LD/ measurement combined with iontophoresis evaluates the effect of acetylcholine /ACh/ /endothelium dependent/ and sodium nitroprusside /NSP/ /endothelium independent/ on the microcirculation of the skin
GORE VIABAHN ENDOPROSTHESIS Peripheral Vascular Disease Study
Peripheral Vascular DiseasesTo evaluate the performance of the GORE VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis compared to a bare nitinol stent for the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease in long lesions.
Stem Cell Injection for Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular DiseaseSevere peripheral vascular disease of the legs causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the legs, which keeps the blood from flowing adequately through these vessels. This study is designed to examine whether treating patients with their own previously collected blood stem cells will improve blood flow in the most severely affected leg. Blood stem cells are undeveloped cells that have the capacity to grow into mature blood cells, which normally circulate in the blood stream.
Safety of Intramuscular Injections (IM) of Allogeneic PLX-PAD Cells for the Treatment of Critical...
Peripheral Artery DiseasePeripheral Vascular Disease1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine the safety of PLX-PAD, Intra-muscular injections for the treatment of CLI patients.
Telcagepant (MK-0974) Treatment of Migraine in Participants With Stable Vascular Disease (MK-0974-034)...
Migraine DisordersHeart Disease4 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telcagepant in the treatment of acute migraine in participants with stable vascular disease. Acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP) will be used as an active comparator in this study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that telcagepant 300 mg is superior to placebo.
Comprehensive Magnetic Resonance of Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to develop new ways of imaging fatty blockages in the leg arteries to improve upon techniques used now and to develop new ways of understanding how new treatments may affect the disease.
Self-Managed Walking Improves Function
Peripheral Arterial DiseaseDiabetes MellitusWe are conducting a clinical research trial to determine the role of self-managed walking therapy to improve walking ability in patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD, commonly referred to as poor circulation in the legs, is a very common disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. For patients with PAD, there is a significant risk for poor walking ability and limb loss. One major treatment for PAD is walking therapy but the traditional methods for the delivery of this treatment have required frequent visits to a university or hospital-based site. We will address the role of self-managed walking program, to be conducted at or near the home, to improve limb function.
