Peripheral Artery Disease Research Study
|
Treatment and Imaging of Peripheral Artery Disease
|
If you have intermittent claudication -- muscular leg pain during walking that goes away with rest -- you may be interested in these studies. We can offer non-surgical procedures such as angioplasty and stenting to improve your ability to walk without pain.
There is NO COST to you for evaluation or treatment. If you are eligible, you will undergo a thorough evaluation of your arteries including pressure measurements, treadmill measurements, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRI). We may invite you to participate in related studies, such as measurement of blood flow using MRI and visualization of your arteries using MRI at the same time we perform angioplasty.
For further information, please contact our research coordinator toll-free at 1-877-999-3099, or e-mail PAD-study@nih.gov
