About this trial
Peripheral artery disease (PAD), vascular disease of atheromatous origin, is a frequent pathology, with a steady and significant increase in prevalence over the last decades. It has various symptoms ranging from mild arterial claudication to critical limb ischemia. The critical ischaemia stage in PAD is defined by rest pain or trophic disorders and is a special situation because of the number of cardiovascular deaths at 1 year (25%), 60% at 5 years and acute ischaemic recurrence at 1 year (25%).
It is a medico-surgical pathology. A haemodynamic marker is needed to monitor patients, as it is predictive of limb progression, cardiovascular events and mortality. The Systolic Rise Time (SRT) of the plantar footpad is a recently described haemodynamic measurement of proven value in the diagnosis of PAD. The aim of this study is to show the prognostic value of the Systolic Rise Time on Major Adverse Limb Events (MALE).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
patients at least 18 years old,
willing and able to provide written informed consent,
with documented atherosclerosis critical limb ischemia (pain rest and/or ulcer and gangrene manifestations)
with hemodynamic measures (ankle pressure less than 50mmHg and/or TBI less than 30mmHg and/or TcPO2 less than 30 mmHg),
Disqualifiers
with non atherosclerosis arteriopathy,
ineligible to the gold standard treatment such as the chirurgical revascularization,
with life expectancy less than 3 months.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
hemodynamic measure of the Systolic Time Rise
Other interventionThe hemodynamic measure of the Systolic Time Rise will be added in the routine doppler echography, planned in preoperative, postoperative and at 6 months of following up. This measure is taken on the foot, with ultrasound probe.
