Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Vascular Diseases"

This study is an efficacy evaluation of Dotarem®-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) compared to Gadovist®-enhanced MRA in the diagnosis of clinically significant abdominal or lower limb arterial diseases.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Minnow Medical GRST Peripheral Catheter System in the treatment of new lesions in the superficial femoral artery or the popliteal artery.

This trial aims to evaluate if hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) given postoperatively is effective in reducing healing time and wound complications after lower extremity bypass surgery in patients with diabetes. Hypothesis: Postoperative HBO treatment is effective in reducing complications in patients with diabetes undergoing peripheral vascular surgery

The purpose of this study is to apply local heat to the legs, thighs and buttocks of patients with peripheral arterial disease and use PET/CT imaging with an injectable stable radiotracer to study direct measurement of blood flow in the legs pre and post heat treatment.

Introduction: Atherosclerotic Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is the leading cause of mortality in the western world. To maintain homeostasis of the vessel wall, vascular cells produce a high level of heat shock proteins (HSP), among which is Hsp70, to stimulate innate immunity and face stress. Methods: This is a clinical trial where 260 individuals were evaluated by a screening test employing the Ankle-Arm Index (ABI), 220 of them were not within risk value (0.91 to 0.99 mmHg). In the clinical trial, 32 individuals were included. A control group and an experimental group were formed. Aerobic exercise intervention was performed for 12 weeks. The level of Hsp70 was evaluated, physical and clinical measurements were applied at the beginning and at the end of the trial.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in reducing the inflammation of perivascular adipose tissue and increasing peak walking time (PWT) among peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients with symptom of intermittent claudication.

The objectives of this study are: Evaluation of ultra-low iodine load CTA protocols of the aorta and lower extremities. To investigate whether dual-layer in combination with with virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) allows for reduction of contrast medium (CM) in CTA of the aorta and lower limbs i with sustained objective and subjective image quality parameters.

Patients submitted to noncardiac surgeries are at increased risk of serious cardiovascular complications. Statins have shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular events in other scenarios. The objective of this study is to explore the effects of atorvastatin, as compared with placebo, on the 30-day risk of a composite of death, nonfatal Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS), or stroke among patients who undergo noncardiac surgery.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Pantheris System to perform atherectomy while using directional visualization and imaging as an adjunct to fluoroscopy to aid removal of plaque from diseased lower extremity arteries.

The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of Magnevist (SH L 451 A) at doses of 0.1 mmol/kg and 0.2 mmol/kg in contrast-enhanced 3D-Magnetic Resonance Angiography in three regions (abdominal, femoral, and leg regions) for visualization of arteries, evaluating 179 not assessable: caused by contrast media in the evaluation of structural abnormalities. Magnevist (SH L 451 A) was administered intravenously in a crossover design in patients with arterial disease in the abdominal to leg regions. The safety of the 0.2 mmol/kg dose was also assessed.
