Natural History of Peripheral Arterial Disease
AtherosclerosisCoronary Disease3 moreThe Veterans Administration Patient Study examined the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with large vessel PAD or isolated small vessel PAD. The Community Follow-up Study following subjects with and without PAD from a previous cohort to determine subsequent coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.
Impact of Level and Quality of Immunosuppression on Onset and Pattern of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy...
Transplant; FailureHeartThe aim of this study is to use the high resolution of optical coherence tomography to assess the prevalence of different types of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in cardiac transplanted patients and correlate those results with the level of immunosuppression
Efficacy of Gadoterate Meglumine in Diagnosis of Vascular Diseases Using MRA MRA
Vascular DiseasesThe purpose of this study is to compare magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using gadoterate meglumine to clinically obtained MRA using gadobutrol. The specific aims are to show: Carotid, chest, and abdomenal MRA with gadoterate meglumine has a comparable image quality and diagnostic confidence to MRA using gadobutrol. Carotid, chest, and abdomenal MRA with gadoterate meglumine has a comparable accuracy for vascular lesion and stenosis detection compared to MRA using gadobutrol.
Peripheral Registry of Endovascular Clinical Outcomes "The PRIME Registry"
Peripheral Arterial DiseasePeripheral Vascular Disease1 moreThe PRIME Registry is a multi-center, observational study designed to evaluate immediate and long-term outcomes (36 months) of endovascular revascularization in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Non-Contrast Enhanced Peripheral Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Peripheral Arterial DiseaseIntermittent Claudication1 moreTo systematically develop, test, and refine peripheral vascular electrocardiography-gated fast spin echo magnetic resonance imaging for the accurate diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease without gadolinium contrast. To test prospectively the accuracy of fast spin echo in peripheral arterial disease patients, compared with bolus-chase and time-resolved gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance angiography. Additionally, as a substudy of this project, we will compare our fast spin echo approach with alternative non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging methods such as time-of-flight and steady-state gradient echo imaging. The overarching goals of our research are to develop and validate a peripheral magnetic resonance imaging technique that accurately depicts anatomy and disease without exposing patients to exogenous contrast material and its associated risks.
Zenith® TX2® Low Profile TAA Endovascular Graft
Aortic AneurysmPenetrating Ulcer1 moreThe Zenith TX2 Low Profile TAA Endovascular Graft extended study is to collect confirmatory safety and effectiveness data. The Zenith TX2 Low Profile TAA Endovascular Graft is indicated for the treatment of patients with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm or penetrating ulcer and has an anatomy suitable for repair.

Evaluating the Occurence of New and Progression of Existing Peripheral Venous Disease in Leg Veins...
Peripheral Vascular DiseasesPeripheral venous disease occurs when a vein becomes damaged or blocked. It can occur almost anywhere in the body, but is most common in the arms and legs. This study will examine people who participated in a previous venous disease study to evaluate changes in leg veins and venous disease status over a period of 11 years.
