Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

This study aims to evaluate whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) daily for 28 days reduces the symptoms of intermittent claudication in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The study evaluates the effect of RIPC on patients' total walking distance (TWC), initial claudication distance (ICD), and time to relief of claudication (TRC). In addition, the trial investigates the effect of RIPC on different arterial functional characteristics and low molecular weight metabolites in serum and affected skeletal muscle.

The hypothesis is that oral supplementation of L-carnosine will inhibit PHDs, increase HIF1-translocation and angiogenesis and thus improve the functioning of lower extremities in PAD patients. Primary Aim: 1. Compare the effect of carnosine and placebo supplementation on the 6MWT in PAD patients with and without claudication. Secondary Aim: Determine whether carnosine supplementation improves the pain-free treadmill walking ability of the subjects supplemented with carnosine compared to placebo. Compare the levels of carnosine, VEGF, HIF-1α, and PHDs activity in the skeletal muscle before and after placebo and carnosine supplementation. Compare the levels of EPCs (CD34+/CD133+), inflammatory markers (serum amyloid A, hsCRP) and thrombotic markers (fibrinogen, homocysteine) as cardiovascular risk markers in these subjects. Explore the effects of race and gender on VEG, carnosine, and HIF-1α levels in both groups.

This trial is evaluating if rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID and aspirin 100 mg OD compared to aspirin alone improves on intermittent claudication distance in PAD patients.

The objective of this clinical evaluation is to evaluate the immediate and long term (up to 12 months) outcome of the XIENCE PRIME Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (Abbott Vascular) in a controlled prospective investigation for the treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia due to the presence of lesions between 3cm and 10cm in length at the level of the below the knee arteries. Specifically the trial aims to illicit angiographic and ultrasound patency, clinical improvement, and adverse events associated with the use of this stent. The trial design is single armed, prospective, controlled trial run over 12 months of follow-up.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Absolute Pro® Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent System and the Absolute Pro® LL Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic de novo or restenotic lesions in the native superficial femoral artery (SFA) and/or the native proximal popliteal artery (PPA). CAUTION: Absolute Pro® Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent System and the Absolute Pro® LL Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent Systems are investigational devices. Limited by Federal (U.S.) law to investigational use only.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Cilostazol in slowing down the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in ischemic stroke patients with PAD in Taiwan.

The main objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SM-01 stenting (Cordis S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent System) for the treatment of SFA lesions as compared to PTA (balloon angioplasty). If SM-01 is used in a PTA-bailout patient, the case will be assessed separately.

Background and rationale: In clinical practice, antihypertensives are generally prescribed for use in the morning, whereas some statins are recommended for use in the evening. There is evidence that the reduction in LDL cholesterol achieved with some statins is superior when taken in the night, but it is unclear whether the additional reduction in LDL cholesterol(and the reported improvement in BP control when aspirin is taken in the evening) is offset by a reduction in adherence when taking medication in the evening. Current product labelling recommends night use for simvastatin and does not state a timing preference for aspirin or blood pressure lowering medicines. There is therefore uncertainty concerning the best timing of administration of the polypill. This uncertainty will be addressed by this trial. Trial design: Randomised, open label cross over trial (n=75) of the polypill in the morning compared with the evening administration compared with individual agent administration (acetylsalicylic acid and blood pressure lowering agents in the morning, and statin in the evening) in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Patients will be recruited to the RHP 2c (acetylsalicylic acid 75mg, simvastatin 40mg, lisinopril 10mg, hydrochlorthiazide 12.5mg), and will be randomly allocated to the sequence of time of administration.
