Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the microcirculation of peripheral vascular disease in diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused by atherosclerosis of the artery and is classified into coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease, depending on the location of the artery and the target organs. However, since CVD share a similar pathophysiology and the probability of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients is very high. It is thought that CVD incidence and mortality can be reduced by predicting the degree of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and mortality of other CVD diseases in CVD patients.

The aim of the proposed study is to define an independent parameter for the diagnostic assessment of the perfusion situation of the calf muscle based on Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) in a cross-sectional collective of healthy volunteers and patients with PAD. The gold standard is a previously performed angiography of the pelvic and femoral vessels based on routine diagnostics, this Imaging is not mandatory for healthy Control group (study group 1). An independent validation group (study group 2) will validate the results found in study group 1.

The aim of this study is to establish a clinically feasible simultaneous evaluation of heart and lower limb using MRI and to assess the combined benefit of clinical and cardiac MRI imaging markers in the evaluation of PAD and prediction of treatment outcome.

This study will continue to evaluate the performance of the MarrowStim™ PAD Kit to treat subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) caused by severe PAD.

The aim of this study is to study the effects of athrectomy followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty using Paclitaxel coated Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) in treating de novo or re-stenotic lesions in the femoral-popliteal artery in patients with symptomatic peripheral vascular disease in an Asian population. The intention is to study the effects of debulking athrectomy followed by application of DEBs to prevent restenosis, resulting in improved patency rates The study will prospectively recruit 8 cases treated with athrectomy followed by DEB. This project is a pilot to investigate the effects of athrectomy and DEB in reducing re-stenosis rates. It will be a primer for a larger scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving multiple institutions to demonstrate the benefit of athrectomy and DEB technology to treat de novo versus plain balloon angioplasty with bail-out stenting, which is currently the most commonly used modality to treat femoral-popliteal lesions. There are no studies combining the effect of rotational athrectomy and DEBs.

The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and the proportion of endovascular procedures for treatment are increasing worldwide. For many cases of treatment or procedures no randomized controlled trials (RCT) or results from meta-analyses are so far available. The decision for treatment and selection of procedure is therefore not uncommonly left up to the personal expertise of the physician. The IDOMENEO study represents a multistage multimethodological project for healthcare research and quality assurance in interdisciplinary vascular medicine, which undertakes a comprehensive examination of this topic. Various methods and data sources (even routine data) are linked in a meaningful way. The essential components of the total project are implementation of a register platform (GermanVasc), which conforms to data protection and data security as well as the development of instruments for valid measurement of the quality of life of patients with PAD. The data protection-conform linking of primary data in the register and routine data of the consortium partner BARMER should also enable validation of the data sources.

This study aims to determine the extent to which pre-existing long-term conditions are associated with survival following a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) using observational data from the UK's national heart attack register.

The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.

The overall goal of this multicenter collaborative research study is to identify genetic, proteomic, and/or lipidic (lipidomic) biomarkers associated with the outcomes of lower extremity revascularization in patients with advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD).
