Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

This research study will evaluate the effects of aspirin and dipyridamole alone and in combination on the blood flow in the vessels of the legs. We will examine how these medications are able to inhibit the clotting of platelets in the vessels of patients with PAD, and thereby affect the blood flow in the legs. Platelets are cells in the blood that have the ability to adhere to each other to form clots.

Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in this 12-week study designed to assess the effect of continuous subcutaneous Remodulin therapy on the outcome of infrainguinal bypass grafts in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Portions of the study will be conducted in the hospital and on an out-patient basis. The study will be conducted at multiple centers.

This is an observational study in which data from Indian people with coronary artery disease and / or symptomatic peripheral artery disease who will be receiving the drug rivaroxaban (Xarelto) are studied. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where the arteries that bring blood and oxygen to the heart become hardened and narrow. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition with reduced blood flow in the arteries of the legs and arms. People with CAD and / or PAD with symptoms may receive rivaroxaban from their doctors to prevent problems (for example, stoke) caused by blood clots and hardening of the arteries. In this study researcher want to gather more information on the safety and the effectiveness of rivaroxaban when given together with the drug acetylsalicylic acid (also known as "aspirin") to people with CAD and / or PAD with symptoms in the routine practice in India. Researchers are especially interested whether patients under treatment experience any events such as minor or major bleedings, stroke, sickness of the heart or blood vessels. In addition, information on why and when treating doctors decide to start or stop the treatment with rivaroxaban and acetylsalicylic acid is of interest to the researchers. The study plans to enroll about 300 male or female patients who are at least 18 years old and are already treated with the two drugs or at least with rivaroxaban.

The purpose of this study is to understand how a Best Practice Advisory (BPA) for high-intensity statin therapy in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease impacts prescription rates.

This study proposes the use of Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) to test the effects on pain free walking duration on patients with peripheral arterial disease, a condition caused by decreased blood flow to the muscles in the legs.

The purpose of the ABSORB BTK Clinical Investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Everolimus Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold System (BVS) in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the tibial arteries.

Primary objective of the study is to test whether an intensified insulin therapy incorporating the target of normal fasting glucose (<5.5 mmol/L) and glycated hemoglobin <6.5% is able to halve the incidence of angiographic restenosis at 6 months (expected rate 45%, to be reduced at 15%) after peripheral angioplasty compared with standard care to achieve a glycated hemoglobin <7.0% in patients with type 2 diabetes and limb ischemia. Secondary objectives include the identification of markers associated with, and predictive of, restenosis and the investigation of the underlying pathophysiological background, with specific focus on the role of nitric oxide (NO), mechanisms of endothelial activation/apoptosis, inflammation and matrix remodeling risk profiles, candidate gene polymorphisms and endothelial progenitor cells evaluation. Methodology: This is a randomized, open-label, clinical trial comparing two regimens of insulin therapy having as an outcome measure the incidence of angiographic restenosis at 6 months after peripheral angioplasty. Seventy consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes and peripheral arterial disease undergoing peripheral angiography and subsequent angioplastic procedure will be studied. Patients will be treated by intensive insulin therapy, based on three pre-prandial administrations of regular insulin or short acting insulin analogues combined with the long-acting insulin analogue glargine or standard care based on once-daily insulin and oral antidiabetics agents. Patients randomized to the intensive insulin therapy arm will be educated and followed up with daily measurements of fasting glucose and weekly phone contacts with the target of fasting glucose <5.5 mmol/L (99 mg/dl) to obtain glycated hemoglobin <6.5%. The control arm will be followed to achieve a target of glycated hemoglobin <7.0%. Life style recommendations, including diet and physical activity program, will be the same for the two arms. All patients will undergo three visits with physical examination and blood sampling, at baseline and at 2, 4 and 6 months after angioplasty. Moreover, patients on normal fasting glucose arm will be monitored by phone on weekly basis in order to test their adherence to therapeutic target.

The investigators wish to investigate the effects of neuromuscular stimulation on intermittent claudication.

The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Minnow Medical GRST™ Peripheral Catheter System in the treatment of de novo lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or the popliteal artery.

A 12-Week Efficacy Study in participants with Peripheral Arterial Disease. the primary hypothesis is that MK-0736 7 mg administered once daily for 12 weeks will result in a decrease in lower extremity atherosclerotic plaque macrophage content when compared to placebo (an approximate decrease of up to 30% is expected).
