Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Vascular Diseases"

Stem cell therapy has been a new and effective therapy in recent years for diabetic foot.This study intends to establish an optimal clinical research program, and attempts to break the technical bottleneck in the stem cell therapy for treating diabetes related vascular complications.

The study will compare Padd, a non-invasive automated optical device which uses a functional test to assess peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) in the detection of PAD using as a gold standard, colour duplex ultrasound, in participants drawn from general practice, a hospital diabetic clinic and a tertiary vascular disease referral centre. The study hypothesis is that Padd performs at least as well as ABPI in detecting PAD.

Comparing the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) for the treatment of below-the-knee peripheral arterial occlusive disease with conventional balloon angioplasty (BA).

Prospective monocenter single-blind randomized (1:1) investigator sponsored clinical trial, in which consecutive patients candidates for percutaneous intervention of angioplasty to treat symptomatic in-stent restenosis of the SFA and P1 segment of the popliteal artery will be assigned to one of two study arms: Treatment Arm: Paclitaxel eluting percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PePTA) Control Arm: standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (sPTA). Purpose: To evaluate the morphologic and clinical efficacy of Paclitaxel eluting percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PePTA) for the reduction of restenosis in SFA and PA stents compared to standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (sPTA).

The investigators propose confirm and extend the findings of open studies on the apparent efficacy of bone-marrow derived mononuclear cells for the induction of arteriogenesis in patients with severe claudication or critical leg ischemia and pay special attention to the influence of diabetic disease on the outcome of the study and to the possible pro-atherogenic/ pro-inflammatory effects of BM-MNC injections.

FGF-1 for the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial disease with intermittent claudication.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of aortic stent surgery versus exercise therapy in individuals with aortoiliac insufficiency.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the impact of text messaging on physical activity in persons with risk factors for peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Absorbable sutures are not generally accepted by the majority of vascular surgeons for the possible complications such as the breakage of the suture at the anastomoses level. Some experimental and clinical studies in the current literature demonstrated that the use of absorbable sutures may even reduce some important complications such as restenosis. The aim of this study is to compare absorbable and non-absorbable sutures in patients undergoing peripheral vascular surgery with vein bypass grafting.

The purpose of the artery preparation concept is to perform regular longitudinal micro-incisions on the inner side of the artery ("scoring") and therefore promote a regular expansion of atheroma by balloon inflation.
