A Study to Evaluate the Safety of Ultrasound-guided Tenotomy for Achilles Tendinopathy and Feasibility of a Standardized Ultrasound Imaging Protocol
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of Ultrasound-guided Tenotomy (USGT) by describing the rate and types of USGT-related complications at the Achilles, and to demonstrate the feasibility of an RCT (randomized control trial) at each site by measuring the patient volume per year treated with USGT for Achilles Tendinopathy (AT), and capture rate utilizing a standardized ultrasound imaging protocol for AT.
The research is about the post-procedure outcomes and is not about the ultrasound device or the ultrasound-guided tenotomy procedure.

Dual-plane Ultrasound Imaging During Vascular Access Procedures
Rochester, MN
The aims of this study are to assess the clinical efficiency of utilization of a dual-plane simultaneous view ultrasound probe (Butterfly iQ+; Butterfly Network, Inc.) during arterial catheter placement in the operating room. Outcome metrics to include: number of attempts for successful cannulation, amount of time to complete procedure, percent of failed attempts / total attempts, and to assess end-user response to use of dual-plane probe via subjective feedback.
