Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

One hundred twenty patients with lesion lengths longer than 15 cm will be included. Patients will be invited for a follow-up visit at 1, 6, 12, and 24-month post-procedure. The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study is the primary patency at 12 months. The primary safety endpoint is freedom of major adverse events (MAEs) at 12 months. Secondary endpoints include acute procedure success rate; primary patency rate at 1, 6, and 24 months; freedom from TLR at 1-, 6-, 12, and 24-month follow-up; primary and secondary sustained clinical improvements at 1-, 6-, 12- and 24-month follow-up; Freedom of MAEs at 1-, 6-,12- and 24- month follow-up; change of quality of life at 1-, 6-,12- and 24- month follow-up.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary patency
Time Frame: 12-month
Primary patency is freedom from clinically directed target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) and from Duplex ultrasound-derived binary restenosis (defined as peak systolic velocity ratio ≧2.5).
12-month
Freedom of major adverse events (MAEs)
Time Frame: 12-month
Major adverse events(MAEs) is defined as index limb amputation above the ankle, clinically directed target lesion revascularization(CD-TLR), or all-cause death.
12-month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute procedure success
Time Frame: 72-hour within procedure
Acute procedure success is defined as technique success ( the achievement of final residual diameter stenosis <30% for stent and <50% for angioplasty or atherectomy by angiography at the end of the procedure and without flow-limiting arterial dissection or hemodynamically significant trans-lesional pressure gradient <10 mm Hg for endovascular revascularization ) and freedom form major adverse events.
72-hour within procedure
Primary patency
Time Frame: 24-month
Primary patency is freedom from clinically directed target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) and from Duplex ultrasound-derived binary restenosis (defined as peak systolic velocity ratio ≧2.5).
24-month
Freedom from clinically directed target lesion revascularization
Time Frame: 24-month
Patients without clinically directed target lesion revascularization
24-month
Freedom of major adverse events (MAEs)
Time Frame: 24-month
Major adverse events(MAEs) is defined as index limb amputation above the ankle, clinically directed target lesion revascularization(CD-TLR), or all-cause death.
24-month
Primary sustained clinical improvement
Time Frame: 24-month
Primary sustained clinical improvement is defined as an upward shift on the Rutherford classification to a level of claudication without the need for repeated TLR in surviving patients without the need for unplanned amputation.
24-month
Vasc quality of life score
Time Frame: 24-month
Change of Vasc quality of life
