This trial tests whether wearing compression stockings with a higher (32 mmHg) or lower (21 mmHg) pressure after radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins leads to less pain and swelling. About 64 adults with varicose veins and leg swelling will wear one of the two stocking type…

This study investigates whether problems in the smallest blood vessels (microcirculation) can predict major complications after heart surgery, such as stroke, kidney injury, or death. Researchers will measure blood flow in the mouth and skin of 100 adults undergoing cardiac surge…

This study observes 80 children with Marfan syndrome to understand how the condition impacts their quality of life, self-image, and ability to manage their health. Participants fill out questionnaires about their well-being and medication habits. The goal is to identify who might…

This study looks for biological markers in the blood and tissue of adults with Marfan syndrome that could signal when an aortic aneurysm is dangerous enough to require surgery. Researchers will compare three groups of Marfan patients: those without aortic aneurysms, those with st…

This study looks at skin cells (fibroblasts) from people with Marfan syndrome and other genetic conditions that cause thoracic aortic aneurysms (a bulging of the main artery in the chest). Researchers want to find out how these cells behave differently and what genes or proteins …

This study aimed to create a questionnaire that measures how prepared adults are to monitor and manage their own blood thinner medication. Researchers planned to survey Italian adults who had been on blood thinners for at least three months. However, the study was withdrawn befor…

This study looks at whether a computer model can predict when stents placed in the leg arteries might break or fail. Researchers will follow 30 adults who receive a stent for blocked leg arteries. The goal is to see if the model can help doctors choose the best treatment and avoi…

This study looks at data from 100 adults who had hemorrhoid surgery. Researchers will use machine learning to find patterns and group patients by shared traits like age, symptoms, and surgery type. The goal is to see if these groups have different surgical experiences, which coul…

This observational study examines how the nervous system works in 139 adults with thoracic aortic aneurysms (a bulge in the chest's main artery). Participants lie down and then stand while their blood pressure and breathing are monitored non-invasively. The goal is to see if nerv…

This observational study looks at muscle strength, structure, and nerve function in people with Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Participants undergo a non-invasive muscle ultrasound and perform voluntary contractions while their muscle activity is recorded. The goal is…
