Vascular Disease Clinical Trials

The vascular disease clinical trials team is interested in seeing how exciting new vascular disease devices and drugs can help to improve the outcomes and quality of life for those living with vascular diseases.

Feel free to call or e-mail the Knight Cardiovascular Institute research team at 503-418-1964 or by emailing heartresearch@ohsu.edu. You will then be forwarded to the appropriate research team member who will be able to see if you qualify for any of the clinical trials being offered at OHSU. 

You can also find all the of heart failure clinical trials, that are currently enrolling patients, below.
