Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The study will enroll patients presenting with claudication, or critical limb ischemia (Rutherford Category 3- 5) and an angiographically significant (≥ 70%) native artery lesion appropriate for angioplasty that is below the knee. Subjects will be treated with the Lutonix Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) carrying the CE Mark per current IFU and followed clinically for a minimum of 2 years.

The purpose of the BIOLUX P-III BENELUX Registry is to further investigate the safety and clinical performance of the Passeo-18 Lux Drug Coated Ballon when used in daily clinical practice for the treatment of isolated atherosclerotic lesion (vessel narrowing) in popliteal arteries

The purpose of the study is to obtain data regarding safety and efficacy of drug-eluting balloon luminor 14 & luminor 35 in the treatment of infrainguinal occlusive lesions (superficial femoral artery (SFA), popliteal artery (PA) and tibial arteries (ATs)) and restenosis from prior endovascular procedures in this sector.

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the performance and safety of endovascular treatment with stenting (Optimed Sinus Superflex 635 or Qualimed Pontos-pp) or balloon angioplasty (Cardionovum Legflow or Optimed Nylotrack .035 + .018) according to current practice. The goal of the study will be achieved by assessing binary restenosis with duplex ultrasound, peri- and postoperative complications, technical success, target lesion revascularization, amputation and clinical outcome.

The purpose of the registry is to assess the clinical use and safety of the LUTONIX Drug Coated Balloon Catheter in a heterogeneous patient population in real world clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to compare the difference between two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for visualizing arteries. The study hypothesizes that one method that relies upon imaging flowing blood in the pelvic and leg arteries will not be as accurate or efficient as injecting a safe imaging agent to change the appearance of the blood on the MRI. Both methods will be compared with Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA).

To determine the effect of three different percutaneous revascularization strategies (Balloon Cryoplasty vs. Stent Placement vs. Atherectomy) in the treatment of lifestyle limiting lower extremity claudication

Peripheral Artery Disease involves a buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) within blood vessels that can restrict blood flow. Patients who have PAD and claudication (pain in legs during exercise due to poor blood circulation) may be eligible for this clinical trial. Three primary hypotheses will be tested in this study: (1) IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound)combined with advanced digital image and signal processing provides a sensitive method to determine plaque geometry and composition in the human peripheral artery wall; (2) IVUS can discern specific arterial wall morphology, providing data that can be used to identify plaques that predispose the patient to late complications; and (3) IVUS-derived plaque structure can be used to predict responders and non-responders to pharmacologic therapy and percutaneous endovascular interventions. These hypotheses will be tested as follows: (1) custom engineered IVUS analysis software will be used to describe the geometry, composition, and spatial component relationships of the vessel, (2) the morphology of lower extremity arterial plaque, as determined by IVUS, will be correlated with baseline clinical characteristics of subjects, and (3) the effects on plaque morphology after long term treatment with antihyperlipidemics will be determined.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a disease in which fatty build-up, or "plaque," accumulates in the peripheral arteries. People with PAD often experience leg pain while walking due to reduced blood flow to the legs. This study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to examine how specific features of plaque build-up in the leg arteries affect walking ability, leg strength, and balance in people with PAD.

This study evaluates the local inflammatory and resolution response of patients undergoing peripheral vascular intervention like an angioplasty of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or popliteal artery, or stenting of the iliac artery or SFA, through the use of Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). PET/MRI will be performed prior to intervention, one day and one week after intervention.
