Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the 25 cm GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface when used in the Superficial Femoral Artery.

The scope of the JET registry to observe long term treatment effects of Jetstream Navitus on various lesions types/morphologies.

The purpose of this study are twofold: To understand the effects of physical inactivity (sedentarism) on vascular function, insulin resistance and inflammation; To assess the role of a dietary intervention (fish oil) in counteracting the effects of physical inactivity on vascular function and inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of two doses of PVS-10200, an allogeneic cellular therapy, delivered as a single injection following percutaneous transluminal ("balloon") angioplasty and stent placement for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD).

The objective of this Study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IN.PACT Admiral® drug coated PTA balloon, utilized for the dilatation of the narrowed sections of the artery, as compared to other standard (non drug coated) PTA balloons. The IN.PACT Admiral, besides the mechanical dilatation effect typical of all PTA balloons, releases a drug (paclitaxel) from the balloon surface into the vessel walls. This drug absorption is intended to limit the chances and the entity of artery re-narrowing over time.

OSPREY is a multi-center, single arm, non-randomized, prospective clinical trial. Subjects will undergo a superficial femoral artery (SFA) stent procedure using the Misago™ Peripheral Self Expanding stent once all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria are met. The stent efficacy and safety will be evaluated immediately post procedure, and at 30 days, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months post procedure. A subject is considered enrolled into the OSPREY study after he/she signs the informed consent and meets all inclusion/exclusion criteria. The study objectives are to demonstrate that efficacy and safety of this novel stent design are not inferior to historical Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) and stent outcomes and meet the performance goals as published in the objective performance goals by Rocha-Singh, et al. This is a multi-center, single arm, non-randomized, prospective clinical trial of the Misago™ Self-Expanding Stent System for the treatment of atherosclerotic stenosis and occlusions of the SFA. The primary endpoint of stent patency will be evaluated at 12 months.

Background: Muscle atrophy and reduced leg strength are related to exercise intolerance in patients with intermittent claudication (IC), suggesting that strength training (ST) could improve exercise performance in these patients. Objective: Analyze the effects of ST in walking capacity in patients with IC comparing with walking training (WT) effects. Intervention: Patients were randomized into ST and WT. Both groups trained twice a week, for 12 weeks, at the same rate of perceived exertion. ST consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions of whole body exercises. WT consisted of 15 two-minute bouts of walking intercalated with 2 minutes of resting. Measurements: Walking capacity, peak VO2, walking economy, ankle brachial index, ischemic window and knee extension strength

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new intermittent pneumatic compression device on initial claudication distance in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease stage II

To see if restenosis rates of superficial femoral artery atherosclerosis with percutaneous techniques can be improved using paclitaxel.

To investigate whether endovascular revascualrization of infrainguinal arterial obstructive disease has an effect on brachial artery reactivity
