Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel administration using the occlusion perfusion catheter (OPC) for the prevention of restenosis in infrainguinal de novo, restenotic femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal stenoses and occlusions, and in-stent restenosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a home-based exercise intervention on walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease. In 200 patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to determine whether a patient-centered home-based exercise program improves walking ability, physical activity, mobility, pain, and social functioning, compared to a usual care group.

Objective The objective of this study is to investigate if long-term ambulatory remote ischemic conditioning can improve symptoms and signs of peripheral arterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a vast socioeconomic challenge in the community of diabetes patients, causing foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations. The main treatment option for the complication is operative revascularisation. Thus there is a need for new treatment modalities for diabetes patients with PAD. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is at non-invasive non-pharmacological treatment which has been shown to attenuate tissue damage caused by ischemia e.g. in hearts subjected to ischemia. RIC treatment consists of brief repetitive periods of ischemia induced in an extremity e.g. an arm. Recent findings show that six week RIC treatment improves healing of diabetic foot ulcers, suggesting a possible effect on the underlying pathological causes of ulcers e.g. PAD. Hypothesis The investigators hypothesize that RIC treatment can improve markers of inflammation, vascular and neuronal function and the sense of empowerment in type 2 diabetes patients with reduced peripheral blood supply. Aim to conduct a single center double-blinded randomized placebo controlled study investigating the efficacy of home based 12-week RIC treatment on markers of vascular, neuronal function, inflammation and serum lipid composition in 40 type 2 diabetes patients from Steno Diabetes Center with non-critical PAD. to qualitatively investigate the experience of empowerment related to the use of Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) treatment and the mechanisms affecting if and how participants take up the RIC treatment.

The objective of the PRELUDE BTK study is to assess safety and efficacy of the Serranator® PTA Serration Balloon Catheter (study device) in subjects with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease of the infrapopliteal arteries.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the third most prevalent cardiovascular disease worldwide, with over 200 million people affected. Most prominent symptom is leg pain while walking known as intermittent claudication. Based on the currently existing gaps in the management of intermittent claudication, the objective of the this study is to explore the clinical effectiveness and cost advantage of TeGeCoach, a 12-month long home-based exercise program, compared to usual care. TeGeCoach consists of telephone health coaching, remote walking exercise monitoring based on wearable activity monitors and intensified primary care. It is hypothesized that TeGeCoach will improve functional outcomes and will reduce total health care costs.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of actovegin in participants with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) Fontaine Stage IIB.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) on reducing atherosclerotic plaques inflammation among patients with symptomatic femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease.

The purpose of the study is to see if vascular physicians (your provider) using a combination of proven smoking cessation tools in an organized way can help vascular patients quit smoking better than usual. The doctors where you are being treated have been chosen to either provide: the combination therapy of giving you advice, considering prescribing medications to help you quit smoking, and referring you to a phone quitline, or to continue their usual smoking cessation practices (which may include all, some, or none of the treatments above).

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) results in blockages of arteries (blood vessels) in the legs and decreased blood flow to the legs. This may cause difficulty or pain with walking or other activities that use leg muscles. Exercise may help improve blood flow in the legs and improve the ability to walk. This research project is being implemented in adults with PAD to examine the effects of exercise or weight loss programs on lower extremity blood flow, health, and physical function.

The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the clinical outcome (up to 12 months) of treatment by means of stenting with the RoadSaver (Terumo) in subjects at high risk for carotid endarterectomy requiring carotid revascularization due to significant extra-cranial carotid artery stenosis.
