Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a manifestation of atherosclerosis that produces progressive narrowing and occlusion of the arteries supplying the lower extremities. The most common clinical manifestation of PAD is claudication, i.e., a severe functional limitation identified as gait dysfunction and walking-induced leg muscle pain relieved by rest. The standard …
In our research, we are delving into whether taking MitoQ for six months can improve the symptoms and function of people diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, especially those who suffer from leg pain while walking, known as intermittent claudication. We will be checking if MitoQ helps people with claudication walk …
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Smart flex stent system in treating long femoropopliteal native lesions.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of isometric handgrip training (IHT) on blood pressure of hypertensive patients with peripheral arterial disease. Will be recruited 30 patients which will be randomized into 2 groups (15 per group), IHT and control group (CG). IHT group will training isometric …
Our laboratory has discovered that ultrasound (US) imaging together with clinically approved microbubble ultrasound contrast agents can augment limb tissue perfusion. These observations have been made in mice with and without peripheral artery disease (PAD), and also in humans where high power contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) was used to measure …
This study follows the Pilot Investigation of Ewing Amputation for Veterans with PAD Undergoing a Below Knee Amputation. The 2 year pilot feasibility phase has concluded recruitment and enrollment. The current phase is a 5 year randomized study of Ewing Below Knee Amputation vs. Standard Below Knee Amputation. If Veterans …
To determine the effectiveness of pre and post-operative exercise therapy in patients undergoing peripheral artery stenting for peripheral arterial disease.
The study is observational and involves patients (pts) with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD) who have undergone lower limb revascularization procedures. Patients who are at least one year post-procedure will be contacted by phone and asked whether any cardiovascular complications occurred during that period, specifically major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the standard of care practices, procedural outcomes, and in-hospital complications for endovascular peripheral interventions of femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal lesions.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated, multicenter, open label, randomized trial is to evaluate 1 month vs. 6 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients undergoing lower extremity endovascular revascularization. We hypothesize that extending dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to six months, compared to one month, will improve patency rates of …
