Active clinical trials for "Constriction, Pathologic"

Crohn's disease （CD） with stenosis has limited therapeutic options and with high surgical rate. The present clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin in the treatment of stricturing Crohn's Disease.

We hypothesized that fimasartan, a new generation ARBs, would improve exercise capacity and decrease the rate of progression of AS by modifying hemodynamic factors and reducing adverse LV remodeling favorably in patients with asymptomatic moderate to severe AS.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of DSA guided percutaneous balloon dilatation, ultrasound guided percutaneous balloon dilatation and surgical repair in the treatment of Stenosis of Arteria-Venous Fistula in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

A prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study of the Venus P-valve for the treatment of RVOT stenosis with pulmonary regurgitation after surgery of congenital heart defect.

Study Purpose The safety and efficacy of paclitaxel controlled release balloon catheter VasoguardTM in treatment of small vessel lesion. Study Group Experimental group: paclitaxel controlled release balloon catheter (VasoguardTM) Control group: common balloon catheter (Maverick2)

This is a prospective, randomized, single-center clinical study aiming to explore the safety and efficacy of venous stenting for patients with internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS).

A randomized controlled prospective clinical trial assessing the efficacy and safety of progressive esophageal dilation compared to conservative esophageal dilation in patients with severe benign esophageal strictures.

Endarterectomy vs Stenting Asymptomatic Carotid stenosis patients to verify the efficacy and safety.

Patient outcomes and satisfaction are an ever-increasing priority in surgical specialties. Cryotherapy has been utilized following spine surgery as an adjunct therapy to reduce postoperative inflammation and improve patient outcomes. However, limited studies have investigated the effect of cryotherapy on postoperative pain and narcotics use. Fountas et al. performed a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of postoperative cryotherapy following single-level lumbar microdiscectomy. The authors reported patients receiving cryotherapy required significantly less pain medication (0.058 mg/kg/hr versus 0.067 mg/kg/hr, p<0.001) and had shorter hospital stays (1.71 days versus 2.65 days, p<0.001) as compared to the control group. In another randomized trial of single-level lumbar discectomy patients, Murata et al. demonstrated cryotherapy to have no significant effect on VAS inpatient pain scores or postoperative blood loss.

In this study, we used the covered metallic segmented airway stent to treat malignant strictures involving carina and bronchi distal to carina and aimed to determine the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this technique.
