YUKON-drug-eluting Stent Below The Knee - Randomised Double-blind Study (YUKON-BTK)

December 16, 2014 updated by: Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Zeller, Herz-Zentrums Bad Krozingen

YUKON-drug-eluting Stent Below The Knee - Prospective Randomized Double-blind Multicenter Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the treatment with balloon-expandable YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent over the treatment with YUKON-BTX uncoated stent in patients with ischemic infrapopliteal arterial disease.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Based on the fact that drug eluting stents have been proven to reduce the restenosis rate in the coronary arteries, we assume that YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent has a superior restenosis rate compared to treatment with uncoated stent in the below-the-knee arteries consecutively. The purpose of this study is to compare the restenosis rate of the treatment with balloon-expandable YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent over the treatment with YUKON-BTX uncoated stent in patients with ischemic infrapopliteal arterial disease. Randomisation will be performed by extremity, that may lead to varying treatments within one patient during the study.
