Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Device Assessment in Patients with Severe Arterial and Venous Disease of the Lower Extremity

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a specific external compression pump called the AVT pump can improve blood flow to the skin of the feet in patients with circulatory problems involving the arteries or veins of the legs. The use of the AVT pump in this study is considered investigational, which means it has either not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for routine clinical use or for the use described in this study.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

Vascular Laboratory test results including ankle-brachial indices (ABI) less than 0.7 and/or transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcPO2) values < 40 mm Hg or > 40 mm Hg with a 10 mm Hg drop upon elevation at 45 degrees for 10 minutes. Patients with non-compressible vessels (ABI values > 1.4) may be enrolled by meeting the TcPO2 requirement only.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients not meeting vascular laboratory criteria for inclusion.
