Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

A computerized registry of cardiovascular disease patients in a large health maintenance organization in Israel. The registry is aimed to be used by health professionals to identify cardiovascular disease patients and to follow the courses of their illnesses and risk factors.

This is a pilot study of a new exercise device (TREDLR) designed to facilitate repetitive ankle flexion/extension movements (i.e., "treadling") through a momentum-driven internal flywheel while seated. The specific goals of this project are to explore improvements in mobility and exercise capacity in individuals who treadle compared to a control group.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a frequent and serious chronic disease witch is undertreated. The recommended management of PAD include pharmacological approach and lifestyle modifications. Patient education help to reach this outcome. Our study propose to compare patient education management with physical activity coaching to usual care.

To assess the proximity of the catheter to the vessel wall and to correlate excised tissue with images collected by the integrated Optical coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging system. The primary endpoints are correlation between OCT images and histological characterization of excised tissue.

Prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing rapidly, with patient numbers projected to rise to 643 million by 2030. As a consequence of diabetes-related atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and in particular medial arterial calcification (MAC) can occur. The accurate identification of PAD by bedside tests is extremely important in patients with diabetes and foot ulceration, in order to reduce delayed wound healing, prevent lower limb amputation and eventually reduce mortality. However, as shown in previous systematic reviews, the performance of current bedside tests is not reliable in excluding PAD in diabetic patients.1,2 Moreover, the methodological quality of the conducted studies is generally poor. Therefore, more reliable and prospective data is required. Also alternative bedside tests need to be investigated. As an example, the ACCmax (a new doppler derived parameter) could be particularly promising in this patient group.

The main objective of this study is to assess in-stent late lumen loss in diabetic patients with de novo native coronary lesions using the sirolimus-eluting Bx VELOCITYä stent as compared to the Bx VELOCITY balloon-expandable stent.

The goal of this study is to evaluate whether supervised treadmill exercise combined with ranolazine 1000 mg twice daily provides an incremental benefit in absolute walking distance over supervised exercise alone in patients with stable claudication. Investigators also seek to determine if the administration of ranolazine provides a sustained benefit after the completion of a supervised exercise regimen. Lastly, investigators wish to determine whether both exercise and ranolazine improves peak oxygen consumption and anaerobic threshold in patients with stable claudication.

To compare the outcome of bypass surgery and plaque excision for treatment of critical limb ischemia in the lower limbs

Patients undergoing elective revascularization of their peripheral artery disease will be randomized to a prehabilitation program or usual care prior to their scheduled procedure.

Isthmus Logic Carbostent™ is a CE-marked cobalt chromium stent with a bio inducer surface for the treatment of peripheral iliac artery disease. The aim of this post-market retrospective study protocl P22202 is to collect clinical data of patients treated with Isthmus Logic for the treatment of peripheral iliac artery disease in routine clinical practice. In order to obtain long-term follow-up data, the data collection will be limited to patients that have been treated with these devices at least 12 months prior to the study start.
