Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

This is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the role of screening for and intervening on patients with high on treatment platelet reactivity undergoing lower extremity arterial endovascular interventions.

This study investigates whether, compared to standard treatment, immediate restoration of blood flow (revascularization) can reduce complications and improve diabetic foot ulcer healing.

HI-PAD is a placebo controlled double-blind randomized pilot clinical trial to determine whether VM202 may improve walking ability in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Prospective, multi-center, single-arm feasibility study to assess the safety and performance of the Shockwave Medical Mini S Peripheral IVL System for the treatment of heavily calcified, stenotic peripheral arteries.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of passive calf muscle stretching in patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The main question it aims to answer are: To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves calf muscle and vascular health. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves walking performance. Participants will use inflatable ankle splints for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 4-weeks on both days and 4-weeks of no stretching.

This study is a multicenter observational study designed to evaluate the the effectiveness and safety of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for below the knee arterial lesions in patients critical with Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI).

A prospective randomized trial to validate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin coated peripheral balloon catheter in the treatment of femoral popliteal artery disease.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of Chocolate balloons as a combination with drug-coated balloons in the treatment of popliteal artery lesions in lower limb atherosclerotic occlusive disease and will compare them with conventional balloons.

Atherosclerotic diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. An interaction between the development of atherosclerotic diseases and the oral and enteral microbiome composition has already been demonstrated in the past. The microbiome is a double-edged sword which can convey protective and detrimental cardiovascular effects. While it can promote the development of atherosclerosis through the production of atherogenic metabolites such as trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) it can also generate a protective effect through the production of metabolites such as short chain fatty acids (SCFA). Preliminary data suggest that atherosclerotic disease itself can induce a dysbiosis of the microbiome. Aim of this study is to determine the differences in coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease on the oral-enteral microbiome axis and downstream microbiome-dependent metabolites.

The main objective of this project is to evaluate the genomic information previously associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and its importance as an independent risk predictor (expressed in Odds Ratio) when adjusted for traditional risk factors (smoking, diabetes, arterial hypertension, obesity , anxiety and depression, inadequate diet, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption and apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio (ApoB/ApoA1). An unpaired case-control study of individuals over 18 years of age will be carried out. Cases (N = 1867) will be enrolled right after the occurrence of the first atherosclerotic cardiovascular event (Acute Myocardial Infarction, Stroke and Peripheral Artery Thrombotic-Ischemic Events). The ratio between cases and controls will be 1:1. The controls (N = 1867) will be adult individuals over 18 years of age who sought medical care at the same locations for other clinical reasons (no CVD) or individuals without any overt disease. The genetic evaluation will be performed through the association of Low-covering Whole Genome Sequencing (coverage 0.5-5x) and Whole Exome Sequencing (average coverage 30x).
