Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to examine patient reported outcomes including pain, quality of life, depression and impact on kidney blood flow before and after procedure to destroy the pain sensory nerves of the kidneys in patients with untreatable one or two sided kidney pain. We will also collect retrospective data on patientsn who underwent the procedure as clinical care but did not particiapte in the prospective study. 

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review experiences with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) and to define the long-term outcomes from endovascular management at a single vascular center.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the performance of manual MMA access in humans per standard of care.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that anticoagulation with bivalirudin results in fewer major bleeding complications compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH) in subjects undergoing peripheral endovascular interventions (PEI). The secondary objective is to identify potential benefits from bivalirudin therapy on other clinically important events such as death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and/or transient ischemic attack (TIA), amputation, unplanned repeat revascularization (URV), and minor bleeding, as well as potential economic benefits that may result from improved clinical outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients receiving Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) prior to elective endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms will have a reduction in rates of cerebral ischemia as detected onimaging when compared to a group of historical controls.  Our secondary aim is to determine if patients who receive ischemic preconditioning have any elevation in serum markers for cerebral ischemia.

The purposes of this study are to determine temporal changes in patient reported outcomes and quality of life (QOL) associated with EVAR, factors associated with requirement for reintervention after EVAR, and the effect of reinterventions on patient reported outcomes and QOL associated.

The study is being done to compare radiation exposure between two standard-of-care methods of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the image quality and radiation dose of a CT angiography protocol (CTA) using tube potential selection and weight-based method.

The purpose of this study is to obtain baseline stress and strain of abdominal aortic artery prior to endovascular repair, and to compare the variation in stress and strain of Ovation vs. Cook stent grafts immediately post-operativelythen after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months following endovascular repair.
