Comparison of Stent and Prothesis Bypass in Superficial Femoral Artery (SPACIAL)

July 6, 2010 updated by: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

The Study to Compare the Treatment of Stent and Prothesis Bypass in SFA Occlusions

Different strategies exist in the treatment of chronic long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery. Traditionally, these patients should be treated with bypass. If the great saphenous vein is unavailable, doctor has to choose artificial vessel as graft. Now, the skill of endovascular treatment is developing rapidly, and lots of doctors think most of such patients could be treated with stent. The purpose of this trial is to compare stent and artificial blood vessel bypass in the treatment of long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery. The study hypothesis is that patency rates are comparable and therefore the minimal invasive treatment of stent can be considered in such patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial to compare the therapeutic effect of stent and artificial blood vessel bypass to chronic long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery. Totally 200 patients will be entered into the trial. The study population will consist of patients with long superficial femoral stenosis and occlusion lesion (≥15 cm), presenting symptomatic ischemia(Rutherford 3-6). The lesion does not extend beyond the aortoiliac artery or blow-knee popliteal artery, with at least 1 vessel infra-popliteal runoff to the foot.

Trial participants will be randomized to either stent group or artificial blood vessel bypass group.

Patients will be followed up for 3 years. Study examinations will be done at screening, procedure time, 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after procedure.

This study will be conducted at 3 centers in Beijing, China.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patients volunteer to join the trial and sign the formal consent.
  • The patients are ≥45 year-old and ≤80 year-old.
  • The patients suffer from symptomatic leg ischemia with rutherford classification3, 4 , 5 or 6. The presentation is severe intermittent claudication, rest pain, ulcer or gangrene.
  • The total length of the femoral and popliteal artery lesion(including ≥75% stenosis and occlusion) are at least 15cm.
  • The femoral-popliteal artery has never received bypass or endovascular therapy before.
  • No obvious stenosis or occlusion in the aortoiliac artery; or the lesion could be treated simultaneously or has already been cured.
  • No obvious stenosis in below-knee popliteal artery; at least 1 vessel infra-popliteal runoff to the foot.
  • No surgical contraindications;no infection in operation region.
  • No available saphenous vein.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refuse random treatment.
  • Previous operations on the superficial femoral artery.
  • Acute lower extremity arterial thrombosis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: bypass
Patients presenting with long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery enrolled in bypass arm will undergo suprageniculate femoropopliteal bypass surgery to bypass the occluded superficial femoral artery. And the graft will be artificial blood vessel.
Before operation, take aspirin 100mg every day. Groin and suprageniculate incision, PTFE graft with end to side anastomoses.
EXPERIMENTAL: stent
Before operation, take aspirin 100mg every day. During the operation, stent is delivered by a catheter and positioned through the narrowing in the artery. The stent is then expanded against the wall of the blood vessel to provide a wider channel for blood. At last, use balloon dilate the stent.
