Shockwave Therapy in Lower Limb Intermittent Calf Claudication

Peripheral Vascular Disease

Peripheral arterial disease is a common condition affecting approximately 64% of 56-77 year olds. This condition restricts bloody supply to calf muscles. Pain occurs after walking a short distance and increases in intensity until the person stops, where the pain then gradually subsides. It can be limiting or occasionally debilitating and has been shown to have considerable deleterious effects of patients quality of life. Shock wave therapy has been shown to promote new blood vessel formation and improved healing amongst other findings. This study aims to identify whether shock wave therapy that is applied to the calf muscles causes such an effect to improve the blood supply to the calf muscles, reduce pain, improve walking ability and quality of life.

A Non-significant Risk Clinical Study: Changes in Perfusion After Therapeutic Ultrasound in Patients...

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

All evaluable subjects will receive VibratoSleeve therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) treatments. The device will be programmed to deliver TUS at a pre-determined level. Three different acoustic intensity levels will be tested during the first three treatment visits (one at each visit day). The most effective treatment that is comfortable to a subject will be prescribed for the remaining treatment sessions. Treatment time will be 90 minutes per session, one session per day. Thirty treatment sessions will be performed over a 45-day period. Subjects will appear for on-site follow-up visits at 1-, 3-, and 6-months following subject's last (30th) treatment session.

Arterial Dissections After Angioplasty by Long vs Short Time of Balloon Inflation: the Randomized...

Peripheral Arterial DiseaseDissection Arterial

Background. Arterial dissections represent the typical complication of the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for femoropopliteal disease and have negative impact upon the outcomes of the treatment. Objective. The study is aimed to test the hypothesis that a prolonged (6 minutes) time of inflation of angioplasty balloon would reduce the rate of severe arterial dissections and necessity in bailout stenting during the treatment of occlusive-stenotic femoropopliteal lesions in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia. Methods. The LOVES trial is a single centre, two parallel groups, controlled trial with 1:1 randomization. Participants will be recruited among the patients hospitalized in Vascular Surgery Department of Institute of Emergency Medicine, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. Procedure. Diagnostic angiography of the treated limb will be performed first to confirm the presence of stenosis ≥50% or occlusion in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal artery. After crossing of the lesion patient will be supposed to randomization. In the intervention group the angioplasty balloon will be inflated for 6 minutes. In the control group - for 3 minutes. Presence and severity (grades A-B or C-F according to NHLBI classification) of dissection will be assessed independently by 3 study investigators basing on completion angiography. Decision to classify the dissection as severe (grade C-F) and to perform the bailout stenting will be done by the agreement between at least 2 investigators. Sample size. Basing on the results of previous retrospective study investigators expect the 23% rate of severe dissection in study group (6 minutes inflation) and 51% - in control group (3 minutes inflation). Using the probability of type I error of 0.05 and power set at 80% investigators have calculated that 45 patients are required for each group. Anticipating 10% rate of loss to follow-up, 50 patients will be randomized per treatment arm. Randomization. One hundred patients will be allocated to study or control group by two blocks 1:1 randomization using the free online application Research Randomizer, version 4 (Urbaniak GC, Plous S., 2013, http://www.randomizer.org/). Follow-up. Three follow up visits at 1, 6 and 12 months are scheduled.

Ultrasonic Perfusion Estimation in Cuff Muscle

Peripheral Arterial Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of ultrasound perfusion imaging technique for assessing the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and monitoring its response to therapy by measuring changes in microvessel alterations and perfusion variations.

Peripheral Arterial Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the Temporary Spur Stent System (TSS). The TSS is intended for use in conjunction with a commercially available drug coated balloon in the infrapopliteal arteries for the treatment of de novo or restenotic lesions. This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single arm trial, with sites in New Zealand, Germany, and Switzerland. At least two and no more than 10 sites are expected to participate, with 100 subjects enrolled (no more than 40 at a single site). The study follow up will take place over a period of 365 days. A vessel recoil substudy will be included for a select group of subjects.

Dietary Nitrate Supplementation and Thermoregulation

Peripheral Arterial DiseasePeripheral Artery Disease

This is a double-blinded, randomized, crossover design study to assess the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation (beetroot juice) on peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients (ages 50-85) diagnosed with Fontaine stage I or II PAD (as determined by vascular surgeon, Dr. Pipinos at UNMC). Exclusion criteria include: 1) experience severe claudication (leg pain) at rest or tissue loss due to PAD (Fontaine stage III and IV), 2) have limited walking capacity due to conditions other than PAD, 3) are already supplementing with a form of dietary nitrate, or 4) have an allergy to beetroot juice. Subjects will be required to visit the lab 3 times and will be randomized to receive either the supplement or the placebo for the 2nd and 3rd visits. There will be a washout period of 14 days between the 2nd and 3rd visits. Visit 1 will take approximately 2 hours and the 2nd/3rd visits will take approximately 1.5 hours. Total experimentation period will last approximately 15 days. Visit 1 will consist of non-invasive baseline testing including assessment of endothelial function (flow-mediated dilation by ultrasound imaging), maximal walking capacity (Gardner treadmill protocol), leg function (near-infrared spectroscopy, time to onset claudication, blood flow to lower extremities), and body core temperature (rectal thermometer). Visits 2 and 3 will require consumption of either the supplement or placebo. The same tests from the baseline measurements will be performed for visits 2 and 3. There will be a recommended fourth visit, albeit not required, to review study results.

Effect of Beetroot Juice on Coronary Blood Flow and Walking Performance in PAD

Peripheral Arterial Disease

In this study the investigators will test the hypothesis that short-term consumption of inorganic nitrate (supplied in concentrated beetroot juice) enhances coronary blood flow responses, large artery hemodynamics, and leg oxygenation/exercise tolerance in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Understanding and improving blood flow regulation in the heart and skeletal muscles of patients with PAD is important because exercise triggers symptoms of leg pain and substantially raises blood pressure and myocardial demand in these patients.
