Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Vascular Diseases"

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of autologous transplantation of bone-marrow cells for therapeutic angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in diabetic patients with non-revascularizable critical limb ischemia.

This study is designed to test the use of G-CSF in peripheral vascular disease. The investigators hypothesize that mobilization of angiogenic cells into the blood by granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) may stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and result in a sustained improvement in blood flow in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease.

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, single arm study to compare PTA and primary stenting using a single PROTÉGÉ® EverFlex™ stent to performance goals of PTA alone in the treatment of atherosclerotic superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal lesions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intramuscular injections of adult stem cells in patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).

Prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm registry to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the iCAST Covered Stent System in the treatment of patients with symptomatic claudication or rest pain and angiographic confirmation of de novo or restenotic lesions in the common and/or external iliac artery.

The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the long-term (up to 12 months) outcome of the 200 mm long self-expanding nitinol EverFlex (ev3) stent in long femoropopliteal lesions (TASC C & D) Is is the first time that the use of 200 mm long stents will be evaluated in these lesions. It is expected that the outcome of the treatment with this type of long stents will be better as the treatment of identical lesions lengths with multiple shorter stents.

The BRAVISSIMO trial wants to investigate in a controlled setting, the long-term (up to 24 months) outcome of the self-expanding nitinol Absolute Pro (Abbott Vascular) and the balloon-expandable Omnilink Elite (Abbott Vascular) stent in TASC A&B and TASC C&D iliac lesions. A separate analysis of both patient populations will be performed and listed.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of polestriding (walking with poles) and traditional walking on physical endurance in subjects with poor circulation in their legs. Another goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a walking program in increasing the amount of oxygen in the calf muscles and therefore improving overall physical activity and quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of administration of marrow-derived autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) concentrate and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel for the treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).

The VISIBILITY Iliac study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study confirming the safety and effectiveness of stenting using the Visi-Pro™ Balloon Expandable Stent System for the treatment of stenotic, restenotic or occluded lesions in the common and external iliac artery.
