Have you been diagnosed with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)?

May 1, 2013 - PRLog -- May 1, 2013– Philadelphia, PA – Vascular Access Centers, leaders in endovascular care, are now participating in the EUCLID Clinical Research Study at multiple locations throughout the United States.

Have you been diagnosed with PAD?  If so, you may be eligible to participate in an exciting  research study.  In this study, researchers will compare 2 different groups of patients.  They want to see what differences there may be in the prevention of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke.  

You may be eligible if you are:

1.  Age 50 years of age or older

2.  Have symptoms of lower extremity (legs) peripheral arterial disease.

If you agree to participate in this clinical research study, you will be asked to:

1.  Take the study medication every day.

2.  Attend initial follow-up clinic visits at 2 and 6 months.

3.  Attend additional follow-up clinic visits (after initial visits stated above) every 6 months and participate in telephone follow-up calls at 3 month intervals between clinic visits for approximately 3 years.

According to officials at VAC, this is just another way they are showing their commitment to keeping patients' blood flowing properly.  

“We have multiple physicians who are participating  at numerous locations,” reports Andrea Cutillo of Vascular Access Centers.   “We are fully committed to the treatment of vascular diseases and this is a great opportunity for VAC and for patients to contribute to additional research pertaining to this particular disease state.”

Cutillo emphasizes that the  team of physicians at Vascular Access Centers considers every individual case in order to determine if the research study is the right path for each PAD patient.  " Our physicians are dedicated and believe whole-heartedly in the appropriate continuum of care for each patient."
