Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The hypothesis of this proposal is that in subjects with PAD, regular consumption of a high nitrate supplement which raises plasma nitrite, in conjunction with 12 weeks of supervised exercise training at the limb ischemic threshold (SET) will produce a greater clinical benefit (increases in COT and PWT) than placebo plus supervised exercise at the limb ischemic threshold (PET).

European physicians tend to always use the lowest dose of statins to initiate therapy even in subjects who require large reductions in cholesterol. The study evaluates if selecting the starting dose based on baseline and target LDL-C cholesterol would provide better results (ie proportion of subjects resching target)

The objective of this study is to evaluate the Zilver® PTX® Drug-Eluting Peripheral Stent for treatment of lesions of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal artery in a Chinese patient population.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the results of drug eluting balloon are non-inferior to the Nitinol stent implantation in the femoropopliteal segment.

The purpose of the investigators study is to examine and compare primary patency between balloon expandable cobalt chromium stent and self expandable nitinol stents (SCUBA versus COMPLETE-SE) in atherosclerotic iliac artery lesion.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential advantage in terms of late lumen loss reduction of Litos drug-eluting balloon vs standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in the treatment of below-the-knee disease in patients with critical limb ischemia.

Patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at risk of developing major adverse limb events and have a similar cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality to those with coronary artery disease (CAD) with which is associated in most cases with a more severe prognosis. Because of higher risk conferred by concomitant PAD an early diagnosis is recommended in subjects with CAD. PAD can be diagnosed relatively easily and noninvasively with the ankle-brachial index (ABI) measure. An ABI ≤0.9 is an indicator of the presence of lower extremity PAD, indicating athero-occlusive arterial disease while >1.3/1.4 indicates an incompressible ankle arteries. However, ABI is not routinely applied in the clinical practice. Data on prevalence of PAD are scanty and in patients with stable CAD are lacking. The under-diagnosis of PAD may be a barrier to the use of treatments to improve prognosis. The primary aim of this study is to assess the coexistence of PAD in subjects with stable CAD and to evaluate the management and the prognosis of these patients in primary care at 12-month after the inclusion in the study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether daily treatment with intermittent pneumatic leg compressions (IPC) following a nonsurgical vascular procedure improves circulation and enhances walking distance.

Critical Limb Ischemia prevents the legs and feet from receiving oxygen and nutrients needed for proper function. This severe lack of blood flow can lead to painful legs while walking or at rest and can result in foot sores, ulcers, gangrene, and even amputation. The purpose of this study is to determine if injections of concentrated bone marrow into damaged tissues will result in improved blood flow. If successful, this treatment could improve blood flow to the lower limb, reduce pain, and reduce the frequency of limb amputations.

The Zilver PTX Registry Study is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter single-arm study enrolling patients in Europe, Asia, and North America with de novo or restenotic (including in-stent restenosis) lesions of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal artery (SFA). The primary endpoint of the study is event-free survival (EFS) at 6 months.
