Arterial Occlusive Diseases

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.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Freesolve resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS) in the treatment of subjects with up to two de novo lesions in native coronary arteries compared to the Xience coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) system

The OPTIMAL randomized clinical trial has been designed to compare two imaging strategies and to test the hypothesis that a calcium modification strategy informed by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) will improve procedural efficiency and effectiveness compared with the current standard of care (IVUS-guided PCI) while achieving similar clinical outcomes in patients with hemodynamically significant calcified coronary artery disease.

This international, multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) compared to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in elderly or high bleeding risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the latest generation drug-coated balloon (DCB). The study includes patients with stable or unstable coronary syndromes and aims to assess rates of ischemic and bleeding adverse events.

Several studies have demonstrated that simultaneous treatment with two stentrievers (STs) as rescue treatment is very effective, with high recanalization rates even in this group of patients where other revascularization techniques have failed. There has been no observed increase in hemorrhagic complications. Recently, a prospective study has been published where treatment with two ST has been shown to be effective and safe if used as a first-choice treatment (not as rescue) with a successful recanalization rate (eTICI 2c/3) after the first pass of 69%. These results have been reinforced after the publication of a randomized study that confirms, in vitro, the superiority of using two ST over one.
