Study summary

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the performance and safety of endovascular treatment with stenting (Optimed Sinus Superflex 635 or Qualimed Pontos-pp) or balloon angioplasty (Cardionovum Legflow or Optimed Nylotrack .035 + .018) according to current practice. The goal of the study will be achieved by assessing binary restenosis with duplex ultrasound, peri- and postoperative complications, technical success, target lesion revascularization, amputation and clinical outcome.

Study population

Patients with peripheral artery disease, located in the common and external iliac artery, the common and superficial femoral artery, the popliteal artery and/or the below-the-knee (BTK) arteries (anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery or peroneal artery).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patient must sign the form prior to the index-procedure.
  2. Patient is older than 18 years.
  3. Patient is compliant with the requested follow-up visits at week 6 and month 12 and the treatment regime.
  4. Patient suffers from mild to intermittent claudication (Rutherford 1-3) or critical limb ischemia (Rutherford 4-5).
  5. Target lesion is an occlusion or diameter stenosis is ≥50% by visual estimate.
  6. Target lesion is located in the common and external iliac artery, in the common and superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery and/or the below-the-knee (BTK) arteries (anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery or peroneal artery).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with Rutherford 0 and 6.
  2. Patient is pregnant.
  3. Patients with estimated (eGFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73m2.
  4. Patient has an acute thrombus or aneurysm in the target arteries.
  5. Patient has a of \<12 months.
  6. Patient has a target lesion that cannot be crossed with a guidewire.
  7. Patient suffers from acute limb ischemia defined as any sudden decrease in limb perfusion causing a potential threat to limb viability.
  8. Patient has scheduled elective non-vascular procedures within 3 months after index-procedure. Vascular procedures are allowed within 3 months after the index-procedure if it is guaranteed that acetylic salicylic acid and clopidogrel intake is not interrupted.
  9. for anti-thrombotic therapy (coagulopathy, ...).
  10. Patient has a known intolerance to anti-thrombotic medication or contrast agents.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Binary restenosis

    Binary restenosis defined as ≥ 50% re-obstruction of the target lesion will be assessed by duplex ultrasound (peak systolic ratio \>2.4)

    Time frame: at 12 months follow-up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Device-related complications

    Registration of peri- and early/late postoperative complications

    Time frame: up to 12 months follow-up

  2. Immediate procedural outcome

    The combination of technical success defined as a successful access and deployment of the device and achievement of a final residual diameter stenosis of \<30% of the treated target lesion on the procedural completion angiography and procedural success defined as a combination of technical success and absence of procedural complications.

    Time frame: during index-procedure

  3. Clinical outcome

    Rutherford classification

    Time frame: at baseline

  4. Clinical outcome

    Rutherford classification

    Time frame: at 6 weeks follow-up

  5. Clinical outcome

    Rutherford classification

    Time frame: at 12 months follow-up

  6. Primary sustained clinical improvement

    defined as sustained upward shift of ≥ 1 category on Rutherford classification without the need for repeated TLR in surviving patients.

    Time frame: at 12 months follow-up

  7. Secondary sustained clinical improvement

    defined as sustained upward shift of ≥ 1 category on Rutherford classification including the need for repeated TLR in surviving patients.

    Time frame: at 12 months follow-up

  8. Target lesion revascularization (TLR)

    defined as an endovascular or surgical treatment due to a problem arising from the lesion (+1cm proximally and distally to include edge phenomena).

    Time frame: up to 12 months follow-up

  9. Mortality

    Procedure-related and all-cause mortality.

    Time frame: up to 12 months follow-up

  10. Amputation

    minor amputation defined as below the ankle and major defined as above the ankle.

    Time frame: up to 12 months follow-up
