Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Vascular Diseases"

Demonstrate the safety and performance of the WIRION™ EPS in subjects undergoing lower extremity atherectomy for the treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

The purpose of the COPPER - B study is to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of paclitaxel administration using the OPC for the prevention of restenosis in infrapopliteal de novo and restenotic lesions and occlusions using a novel catheter, the OPC.

To investigate the treatment effects with the Jetstream G3 System in moderate to severely calcified peripheral artery disease in the common femoral, superficial femoral or popliteal arteries using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new delivery system for the Bard® LifeStent® Vascular Stent System.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the potential of dalcetrapib to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD), with CHD risk equivalents or at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either dalcetrapib 600 mg orally daily or placebo orally daily, on a background of contemporary, guidelines-based medical care. Anticipated time on study treatment is 4 years.

This study will assess the results up to 12 months with the Protégé EverFlex stent (ev3) in patients presenting with a narrowing or blocking at the level of the knee artery, which leads to a limited walking distance, rest pain or non-healing ulcers.

The utility of GP1101 will be evaluated relative to that of surgical bypass in the treatment of Femoral/Popliteal Arterial Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease. Efficacy will be measured by comparison to a Surgical Bypass Efficacy Goal, and Invasiveness will be measured by comparison to Surgical Bypass data derived from a retrospective study.

Vascular surgery is considered a high-risk operation with an anticipated risk of major cardiovascular complications in excess of 5%. The occurrence of a cardiovascular complication after surgery carries a long-term higher mortality risk. The main objective of this investigation is to reduce the proportion of patients having major cardiovascular complications during surgery through a clinical protocol of remote preconditioning that is safe, effective and reproducible.

This is a randomized double blind 2x2 factorial controlled trial to evaluate efficacy tolerability of low strength Polycap versus two doses of low strength Polycap in patients with stable cardiovascular disease in reducing blood pressure and LDL. To evaluate the tolerability and safety of low dose potassium supplementation compared to placebo in patients with stable cardiovascular disease. Approximately 500 patients are planned to be randomized.

Sodium nitrite has been demonstrated to promote new blood vessel growth, speed up wound healing and prevent tissue necrosis in animals. Since patients with PAD experience many of these problems, this study will seek to determine whether this drug, when given orally, could provide the same benefits to patients with PAD.
