Pressure Wire Guidance for Infrapopliteal Artery Interventions

November 30, 2025 updated by: Yonsei University

Impact of Pressure Wire-guidance Versus Angiography-guidance for Infrapopliteal Artery Interventions on Post-procedural Perfusion Status and Wound Healing in Patients With Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (PERFECT-CLI)

"• A prospective, single-center randomized controlled comparison trial.

  • A total of 100 patients with symptoms of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (Rutherford category 5) undergoing endovascular treatment for anterior tibial artery or posterior tibial artery lesions will be included if they meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria.
  • Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 open-label manner either to the pressure wire-guided group or the angiography-guided group.
  • Patients will be treated with balloon angioplasty for anetrior tibial artery or posterior tibial artery lesions.
  • In the angiography-guided group, balloon angioplasty will be performed to achieve an optimal procedural result, as determined by angiography. Optimal results are defined as antegrade blood flow without residual stenosis >50% or flow-limiting dissection.
  • In the Pressure Wire-guided gorup, balloon angioplasty will be performed to obtain optimal procedural result based on both angiography and a pressure gradient over the target lesion. Optimal pressure gradient is less than 10 mmHg by measurement using a Pressure Wire.
  • The primary efficacy endpoint is defined by attaiment of skin perfusion pressure ≥50 mmHg within 1-3 days after the index procedure.
  • Patients will be followed at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procdure to assess wound healing status, and clinical events."

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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  1. Prospective, singlecenter, open label, randomized controlled study
  2. Eligible patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (Rutherford category 5) undergoing endovascular treatment for anterior tibial artery or posterior tibial artery lesions will be randomized to pressure wire-guided or angiography-guided groups.
  3. All patients will undergo balloon angioplasty for anterior or posterior tibial artery lesions, with the angiography-guided group aiming for optimal procedural results based on angiography, and the pressure wire-guided group aiming for optimal results based on both angiography and pressure gradient measurements.
  4. The primary efficacy endpoint is attainment of skin perfusion pressure ≥50 mmHg within 1-3 days after the procedure.
  5. Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, 3, and 6 months to assess wound healing and clinical events.

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
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

In this gorup, balloon angioplasty will be performed on the target infrapopliteal artery lesions to achieve an optimal procedural result, as determined by the pressure gradient across the target lesion. An optimal procedural result is defined as pressure gradient less than 10 mmHg, measured using a Pressure Wire.
