About this trial
This study will test whether using ultrasound imaging within blood vessels during minimally invasive treatment of leg arteries in patients with peripheral artery disease leads to better clinical outcomes.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years
Symptomatic LE PAD - Rutherford Class 2-5
Angiographic evidence of >50% stenosis
Undergoing LE peripheral artery intervention
Disqualifiers
Prior intervention at the target lesion within 6 months
Target lesion is abdominal aorta or inframalleolar BTK arteries
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
Devicepre-and post-procedural IVUS to guide atherectomy, balloon angioplasty based treatments and/or stent placement
Angiographic-guided Intervention
DeviceStandard angiography-guided intervention without IVUS.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Primary Patency
Freedom from restenosis ≥50% or an increase in Duplex Ultrasound peak systolic velocity ≥2.5 times reference proximal segment or target lesion revascularization (TLR).
Secondary outcomes
Technical Success
Technical success is defined as less than 30% residual stenosis in the target lesion following the index procedure. Residual stenosis determined by operator visual estimation.
Procedural Success
Procedural success is technical success (less than 30 % residual stenosis in the target lesion) without the occurrence of procedural complications during the index procedure. Residual stenosis determined by operator visual estimation.
Clinically driven-TLR (CD-TLR)
Clinically driven-target limb revascularization. Information collected from the medical record.
Amputation-free Survival
Defined as no evidence of amputation. Information is collected from the medical record
