Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Vascular Diseases"

The MIMICS-3D-USA Study is a prospective, multicentre, observational study (non-investigational) of the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System that evaluates evaluate safety, effectiveness and device performance within a real-world clinical population of patients undergoing femoropopliteal intervention for the treatment of peripheral artery disease.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, and controlled study of DLBS1033 for the improvement of ankle-brachial index in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It is hypothesized that the addition of DLBS1033 on top of aspirin treatment will augment significantly the resting ABI in diabetes patient with PAD in comparison with that of aspirin alone.

This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) to prevent or delay major amputation and/or death in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

This research study will evaluate the effects of aspirin and dipyridamole alone and in combination on the blood flow in the vessels of the legs. We will examine how these medications are able to inhibit the clotting of platelets in the vessels of patients with PAD, and thereby affect the blood flow in the legs. Platelets are cells in the blood that have the ability to adhere to each other to form clots.

Aggressive intraoperative and postoperative management of blood glucose may substantially decrease perioperative cardiovascular and infectious complications in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing vascular surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the tight versus traditional blood glucose control in diabetics and non-diabetics undergoing vascular surgery in regard to their postoperative fatal and nonfatal cardiac outcomes, and the secondary effects such as rate of infections, overall morbidity and 30-day mortality.

Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in this 12-week study designed to assess the effect of continuous subcutaneous Remodulin therapy on the outcome of infrainguinal bypass grafts in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Portions of the study will be conducted in the hospital and on an out-patient basis. The study will be conducted at multiple centers.

This study proposes the use of Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) to test the effects on pain free walking duration on patients with peripheral arterial disease, a condition caused by decreased blood flow to the muscles in the legs.

The purpose of the ABSORB BTK Clinical Investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Everolimus Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold System (BVS) in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the tibial arteries.

The investigators wish to investigate the effects of neuromuscular stimulation on intermittent claudication.

Primary objective of the study is to test whether an intensified insulin therapy incorporating the target of normal fasting glucose (<5.5 mmol/L) and glycated hemoglobin <6.5% is able to halve the incidence of angiographic restenosis at 6 months (expected rate 45%, to be reduced at 15%) after peripheral angioplasty compared with standard care to achieve a glycated hemoglobin <7.0% in patients with type 2 diabetes and limb ischemia. Secondary objectives include the identification of markers associated with, and predictive of, restenosis and the investigation of the underlying pathophysiological background, with specific focus on the role of nitric oxide (NO), mechanisms of endothelial activation/apoptosis, inflammation and matrix remodeling risk profiles, candidate gene polymorphisms and endothelial progenitor cells evaluation. Methodology: This is a randomized, open-label, clinical trial comparing two regimens of insulin therapy having as an outcome measure the incidence of angiographic restenosis at 6 months after peripheral angioplasty. Seventy consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes and peripheral arterial disease undergoing peripheral angiography and subsequent angioplastic procedure will be studied. Patients will be treated by intensive insulin therapy, based on three pre-prandial administrations of regular insulin or short acting insulin analogues combined with the long-acting insulin analogue glargine or standard care based on once-daily insulin and oral antidiabetics agents. Patients randomized to the intensive insulin therapy arm will be educated and followed up with daily measurements of fasting glucose and weekly phone contacts with the target of fasting glucose <5.5 mmol/L (99 mg/dl) to obtain glycated hemoglobin <6.5%. The control arm will be followed to achieve a target of glycated hemoglobin <7.0%. Life style recommendations, including diet and physical activity program, will be the same for the two arms. All patients will undergo three visits with physical examination and blood sampling, at baseline and at 2, 4 and 6 months after angioplasty. Moreover, patients on normal fasting glucose arm will be monitored by phone on weekly basis in order to test their adherence to therapeutic target.
