[18F]AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/MRI in Carotid Artery Disease
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether [¹⁸F]AlF-OC PET/MRI can characterize and quantify inflammation in carotid atherosclerotic plaques. The study will assess if tracer uptake in culprit and non-culprit carotid arteries, measured by standardized uptake values (SUV), is associated with future cerebrovascular events. Specifically, it will examine whether [¹⁸F]AlF-OC uptake …
Comparison Between Different Techniques for Carotid Artery Endarterectomy
the goal of this interventional study is to compare between the conventional and the Eversion techniques in performing carotid endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis the main question it aim to answer is which technique is much more safe and effective the participants will have carotid endarterectomy by one …
Leg Exercise Assistive Paddling (LEAP) Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of leg exercise assistive paddling (LEAP) therapy during prolonged sitting (PS) on vascular and functional performance in those with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and age-matched controls. LEAP therapy is a novel application of passive limb movement to enhance blood flow …
Randomized Controlled Trial of Alert-Based Computerized Decision Support for Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease Not Prescribed Lipid-Lowering Therapy
This single-center, 400-patient, randomized controlled trial assesses the impact of a patient- and provider-facing EPIC Best Practice Advisory (BPA; alert-based computerized decision support tool) to increase guideline-directed utilization of statin and statin-alternative oral LDL-C lowering therapies in patients with PAD who are not being prescribed LDL-C-lowering therapy.
VIsualization of Coronary Artery Disease for Modification of RISK Factors
The VICAD-RISK study assesses if visualization of coronary CT angiography images in participants with non-obstructive coronary artery disease will improve LDL lowering, reduce reporting of side effects by cholesterol lowering medications, and modify the coronary artery disease phenotype over 12 months.
Far Red Light to Improve Functioning in PAD
The LIGHT PAD Trial is a Phase II multi-centered randomized clinical trial to collect preliminary data to test whether daily far red light treatment of the lower extremities in people with PAD improves six-minute walk distance, lower extremity perfusion, and ischemia-related damage in gastrocnemius muscle at four-month follow-up, compared to …
Sequential Multiple Assessment Randomized Trial of Exercise for PAD: SMART Exercise for PAD (SMART PAD)
Supervised exercise therapy (SET), consisting of treadmill exercise conducted three times weekly at a center while supervised by healthcare personnel, is first line therapy for people disabled by lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, travelling three times/week to a center for SET is burdensome. Compared to SET, home-based exercise …
ENhancing Exercise With LIGHT to Improve Functioning in PAD
The ENLIGHTEN PAD Trial will collect preliminary data to test whether daily 660 nm light treatment of the lower extremities immediately before home-based walking exercise sessions improves six-minute walk distance at 4-month follow-up, compared to sham light, in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Impact of Nrf2 Activation on Macrovascular, Microvascular & Leg Function & Walking Capacity in Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with elevated oxidative stress, and oxidative stress has been implicated as the cause of reduced endothelial reactivity in individuals with PAD. Endothelial function is important because the endothelium contributes to the dilation of arteries during exercise, thereby implicating impaired endothelial function as a mechanism …
The Effects of ATLAS Therapy on Nitric Oxide Bioavailability in Patients With Intermittent Claudication
This study will focus on people with claudication from peripheral arterial disease. The investigators are researching whether a multicomponent therapeutic can increase the production of Nitric Oxide in the blood and whether that leads to an improvement in pain free walking distance and overall physical activity.
