Active clinical trials for "Vascular Diseases"

Prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of the M5+ Peripheral IVL system to treat calcified peripheral arteries.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Absolute Pro® Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent System and the Absolute Pro® LL Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic de novo or restenotic lesions in the native superficial femoral artery (SFA) and/or the native proximal popliteal artery (PPA). CAUTION: Absolute Pro® Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent System and the Absolute Pro® LL Peripheral Self-Expanding Stent Systems are investigational devices. Limited by Federal (U.S.) law to investigational use only.

The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of using the FDA-approved insulin-sensitizing agent, Pioglitazone, on human heart transplant recipients. The objectives of this project are to (1) determine if pioglitazone effectively treats insulin resistance in heart transplant recipients, and (2) to determine whether pioglitazone therapy after heart transplantation impacts the development or progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), a form of chronic rejection after heart transplantation.

The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is the continued assessment of the XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® and XIENCE PRIME™ EECSS) with the primary focus on clinical outcomes in the treatment of female patients with de novo coronary artery lesions, and the characterization of the female population undergoing stent implantation with a XIENCE stent.

The main objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SM-01 stenting (Cordis S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent System) for the treatment of SFA lesions as compared to PTA (balloon angioplasty). If SM-01 is used in a PTA-bailout patient, the case will be assessed separately.

To determine the safety and efficacy of the Omnilink Elite™ Peripheral Balloon-Expandable Stent System in subjects with atherosclerotic de novo or restenotic lesions in the native common iliac artery and/or native external iliac artery.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how systematic physical training after endovascular treatment influence the durability of the endovascular treatment and how it effects physical function, quality of life and future cardiovascular events.

This is a clinical study of a new self-expanding stent (FlexStent®) designed specifically to cope with the extreme demands of the superficial femoral artery (SFA)/proximal popliteal artery. The arteries are often abbreviated as femoropopliteal. The intent of this study is to demonstrate that the FlexStent® Femoropopliteal Self-Expanding Stent System is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Specifically, the FlexStent® shall meet or exceed the proposed safety and efficacy performance goals established for Femoropopliteal bare nitinol stents in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.

To evaluate the performance of the GORE VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis compared to a bare nitinol stent for the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease in long lesions.

Severe peripheral vascular disease of the legs causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the legs, which keeps the blood from flowing adequately through these vessels. This study is designed to examine whether treating patients with their own previously collected blood stem cells will improve blood flow in the most severely affected leg. Blood stem cells are undeveloped cells that have the capacity to grow into mature blood cells, which normally circulate in the blood stream.
