Peripheral Arterial Disease

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Advance Evero™ 18 Everolimus-coated Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Balloon Catheter (hereafter referred to as the Evero drug-coated balloon \[DCB\]) in the treatment of the femoropopliteal artery lesions in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Specifically, the Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT) is designed to demonstrate non-inferior safety and non-inferior effectiveness of the Evero DCB when compared to commercially available paclitaxel DCBs (pDCBs).

This is a preliminary prospective observational study measuring change in lower extremity temperature in response to revascularization procedure. The main question this study aims to answer is: \- Are temperature measurements from a forward looking infrared (FLIR) camera of the lower extremity useful in predicting outcome of revascularization procedures?

The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease is 12.2% in France. Intermittent claudication is the most common symtom of this disease. During physical exercise, such as walking, blood oxygen (O2) requirements increase. The development of atherosclerosis in the lower limbs, causes narrowing of the arteries and limits the increase in blood flow required for muscular effort. Patients then experience muscle pain, the intensity of which gradually increases until it forces them to stop. After stopping, the pain subsides and disappears in less than 10 minutes. The location of the pain (calves and/or thighs and/or buttocks) is related to the location of the ischemia (distal in the calf, proximal in the thigh or buttock, or proximo-distal if several locations). This can have different consequences on the biomechanical parameters of walking and muscle activity. To date, the impact of this localization on physical capacity has never been studied. These limitations are very disabling and impact the quality of life of patients. In addition, poor lower limb performance is associated with higher mortality. Reducing symptomatology and improving functional abilities is therefore a major issue in patients with peripheral arterial disease. This can be achieved through the practice of an Adapted Physical Activity, an essential recommendation in the care of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Our main hypothesis is that the physical activity rehabilitation protocol "Activ'AO" will improve the functional capacities of patients with peripheral arterial disease who have followed the program with the localization of ischemia with a greater consideration than in patients in the group following a "standard" APA protocol. Improvements in functional abilities (such as walking) will lead to improvements in quality of life.

Peripheral arterial disease involving the iliac arteries is a common manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and a major cause of lifestyle-limiting claudication and chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Endovascular iliac artery stenting has become the preferred treatment strategy for most iliac lesions, including complex TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus II (TASC II) C and D lesions, owing to high technical success rates and lower perioperative morbidity compared with open surgical reconstruction. Despite widespread adoption of endovascular treatment, available evidence regarding predictors of major adverse limb events (MALE) after iliac artery stenting remains limited, particularly in unselected real-world populations with substantial comorbidity burden. Patient-related factors, including frailty, may contribute to post-procedural outcomes in addition to lesion-related characteristics. This retrospective single-center cohort study will evaluate clinical outcomes following endovascular iliac artery stenting in consecutive adult patients treated at IRCCS Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio Hospital, Milan, Italy. The study will assess the occurrence of major adverse limb events (MALE), primary patency, peri-procedural complications, target lesion revascularization, restenosis or occlusion, and all-cause mortality. Clinical, anatomical, and procedural factors associated with adverse limb outcomes, including frailty assessed by the modified five-item Frailty Index (mFI-5), will also be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect and safety of orforglipron once daily in participants with Fontaine II peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Participation in the study will last about 58 weeks.

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 contributing to exacerbated exercise-induced ischemia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that acute exogenous diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) intake will improve antioxidant capacity, thereby reducing oxidative stress and improving vascular function and walking capacity in those with PAD. During this study, participants will be administered diroximel fumarate or a placebo, and the acute effects of diroximel fumarate on vascular function and walking capacity will be assessed. Vascular function and walking capacity will be assessed with flow-mediated dilation, arterial stiffness, head-up tilt test, blood biomarkers, near-infrared spectroscopy, and a treadmill test. There will be a follow-up visit to assess blood work after diroximel fumarate.

Patients with vascular and metabolic transfemoral amputations experience substantial functional limitations and high rates of prosthetic abandonment. Although multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation programs have been associated with improved outcomes, evidence regarding their effectiveness in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an inpatient rehabilitation and prosthetic training model implemented at the National Institute of Rehabilitation "Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra" (INRLGII), Mexico. An ambispective cohort design will be used, including a retrospective review of patients treated between 2013 and 2025 and a prospective cohort enrolled between 2026 and 2029. The primary objective is to determine the proportion of patients who achieve functional prosthesis use after hospital discharge. Secondary objectives include identifying clinical, metabolic, functional, and psychosocial factors associated with successful prosthetic use, adherence, and abandonment.

The RADIUS study is a prospective observational registry designed to collect real-world data regarding radial and ulnar artery access in percutaneous vascular interventions. The study aims to evaluate procedural characteristics, access-site complications, procedural success, and short-term clinical outcomes associated with transradial and transulnar vascular access. Patients undergoing routine percutaneous vascular interventions via radial or ulnar artery access at Mersin Medical Park Hospital will be consecutively enrolled. Demographic, clinical, angiographic, procedural, and post-procedural data will be prospectively collected and analyzed. The study was initially designed as a single-center registry; however, following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, expansion into a multicenter registry with participating centers is planned. This study is observational in nature and does not involve any experimental treatment, device, or intervention beyond standard clinical care.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula, Bu Yang Huanwu Decoction (specifically the capsule form called Hua Yu Wan Capsule), to standard treatment can help prevent leg pain at rest or foot ulcers in people with diabetic lower extremity vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adding Hua Yu Wan Capsule to standard treatment lower the chance of developing leg pain at rest or foot ulcers after one year, compared to standard treatment alone? Is the treatment combination safe for participants? Researchers will compare two groups: Group 1 (Experimental): Standard treatment (including aspirin, and medicines for blood sugar and cholesterol control) plus Hua Yu Wan Capsule. Group 2 (Control): Standard treatment alone. Participants in this study will: Be adults aged 18 to 70 years with diabetes and early to moderate lower extremity vascular disease (confirmed by tests like the Ankle-Brachial Index or ABI). Be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Take their assigned treatment for 6 months. Attend clinic visits at 1, 3 and 6 months during treatment, and again at 6 and 12 months after treatment ends for check-ups and tests.

This clinical trial will evaluate the study device, Passeo®-18 Lux® paclitaxel-releasing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter for the treatment of new or recurring cholesterol-related blockages in the arteries of the lower leg. The device that is used in this trial has been assessed in several previous studies for safety and effectiveness. The device is already approved for use in Europe. It has a "CE mark," which means it meets the European Union's safety, health and performance standards. This trial is being done to gather additional information on how well the device works and how safe it is when used in everyday medical care with specific attention to the longer lengths of the balloon, as it comes in different sizes.

The purpose of Case-Specific Health Care Professional (HCP) Clinical Survey of Liberant™ Thrombectomy System, also known as the Liberant Clinical Assessment, is to collect first-in-human clinical data to confirm the safety and performance of the Medtronic Liberant™ thrombectomy system when used for the removal of fresh, soft emboli or thrombi from the vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems

The objective of this study is to establish reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the Golazo® Peripheral Atherectomy System when used as indicated in 159 subjects with symptomatic infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in up to 20 investigational sites in the U.S.

Patients hospitalized with cardiovascular disease require timely detection of clinical deterioration to prevent adverse outcomes. Standard inpatient care relies on intermittent nursing vital-sign measurements performed every 4 to 8 hours, which can miss hemodynamic or arrhythmic events occurring between measurements. This trial evaluates whether digital wearable-based monitoring - wireless continuous measurement of vital signs and electrocardiography with a real-time alerting system - reduces major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared with standard intermittent monitoring in patients hospitalized for cardiovascular disease. The trial uses a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized design in which four inpatient ward zones (clusters) are sequentially transitioned from standard care to wearable monitoring over five periods.

This research project is designed to see if treatment with the Replexa+ shortwave diathermy device daily for 3 months will improve blood flow in the lower legs and feet of patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease and peripheral neuropathy.

The objective of this prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to demonstrate the superiority of the VBX Device for primary patency when compared to bare metal stenting in complex iliac occlusive disease.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can progress to critical limb ischemia (CLI) of the affected lower limb, characterized by pain at rest, ulcerations or gangrene, with a high risk of amputation. In this phase, the best treatment is arterial limb revascularization, but this is not always possible or even effective for promoting pain relief, healing of ulcers or preventing amputations, in addition to the high socioeconomic cost caused by the disease. Recent advances in cell therapy represent a promising supporting alternative for the treatment of PAD in cases where conventional alternatives have run out. Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cell therapy with expanded autologous mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of patients with PAD with CLI and chronic arterial ulcers. Methods: An open randomized clinical study will be performed with 2 groups of 20 patients with CLI: in group 1, a fragment of abdominal fat tissue (10g) will be collected to obtain mesenchymal stem cells, which will be expanded and applied using subcutaneous perilesional injection in the affected lower limb, in addition to the application in the form of a personalized curative biological on the wounds. Group 2 will receive conventional treatment with a Hydrogel dressing with essential fatty acids. Periodic clinical evaluations, complementary exams and photographic record will be carried out. The main outcome of effectiveness will be partial or total wound healing. Safety outcomes will be monitored for infections, gangrene, amputations and deaths. Participants will be monitored for 120 days. Major amputation cases will not be included. An independent external evaluator and blind to the groups will evaluate the results. It is an innovative procedure with high impact and financial return for SUS, in view of the high prevalence of the disease and the high socioeconomic impact of the disease when it progresses to limb amputation.

This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-center, 1:1 randomized pilot study. The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy in comparison to standard lesion preparation using standard and/or high-pressure balloon angioplasty in patients with femoropopliteal artery disease. All patients will receive subsequent Supera stent implantation at the operator's discretion. Additional standard nitinol bare metal stent (BMS), drug-eluting stent or covered stent implantation is at the operator's discretion. Patients will be stratified for total occlusions.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new noninvasive tool for early diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and use the proposed method for monitoring the disease progression and the response to interventional treatment in PAD patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training on walking function, health-related quality of life, and safety among adults with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The main aims of the study are: 1. Evaluate change in walking function among patients with PAD undergoing BFR training. The investigators will assess change in Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance from baseline to post-intervention and 3-month follow-up to compare functional improvements between the BFR group and the two control groups 2. Assess changes in health-related quality of life among patients with PAD undergoing BFR training. The investigators will use the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) scale to evaluate quality-of-life changes from baseline to post-intervention and 3-month follow-up across all study arms 3. Evaluate the safety and feasibility of a supervised BFR training program for patients with PAD. The investigators will compare adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE) rates across study arms, while also monitoring sessional ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), dyspnea, and claudication pain as indicators of symptom response and exercise tolerance. Feasibility will be assessed through enrollment success, intervention adherence, and retention rates across groups

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 contraction for 12 weeks. In CG patients will be encouraged to increase the level of physical activity. In the pre and post-intervention cardiovascular measures will be obtained.

The study is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential cohort study to evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD), safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple doses of SRSD107 in participants with coronary arterial disease (CAD) and/or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with aspirin as background concomitant therapy.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common atherosclerotic condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the lower extremities, leading to intermittent claudication, decreased walking capacity, and impaired quality of life. Supervised exercise therapy is recommended as the first-line non-invasive treatment for patients with PAD; however, participation in center-based programs is often limited due to accessibility, time constraints, and symptom-related barriers. This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program compared with conventional supervised exercise therapy in individuals diagnosed with peripheral artery disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation group or a supervised exercise therapy group. The hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program will combine center-based supervised exercise sessions with home-based telerehabilitation, supported by remote monitoring and wearable activity tracking devices. The supervised exercise therapy group will receive a fully center-based, physiotherapist-supervised exercise program. Both interventions will be delivered over a 12-week period. Primary outcomes will include walking performance and functional capacity. Secondary outcomes will assess exercise adherence, symptom severity, physical activity levels, and quality of life. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of hybrid cardiac rehabilitation as an alternative rehabilitation model for patients with peripheral artery disease.

Active inflammation plays a key role in causing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Since inflammation is so important in how these diseases start, are diagnosed, and treated, being able to see it clearly in each patient could lead to more personalized and effective care - and may help prevent heart attacks. Right now, there's no imaging technology available to clearly see inflammation inside the coronary arteries. The investigators hope to learn how an imaging drug; called LUMISIGHT (Pegulicianine) can help detect inflammation in blood vessels compared with saline. If the investigators find out that LUMISIGHT is active in humans, the investigators might be able to use it for detecting plaque risk in the future.
