Effects of Prolonged DAPT After Lower Extremity Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in Patients With LE-PAD (LONGDAPTPAD)

February 13, 2019 updated by: Giuseppe Giugliano, Federico II University

Effects of Prolonged Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With Clopidogrel Plus Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) After Percutaneous Lower Extremity Revascularization in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with acetylsalicylic acid plus clopidogrel on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and major adverse limb events after percutaneous lower extremity revascularization in patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LE-PAD).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events + incidence of Major Adverse Limb Events
Time Frame: 24 months post-PTA
Impact of prolonged vs. short dual antiplatelet therapy after PTA on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (death from cardiovascular cause, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary or carotid revascularization) + the incidence of major adverse limb events (restenosis, occlusion, or new revascularization of target lesion, new stenosis, occlusion, or revascularization of not-target lesion, onset of acute and critical limb ischemia, amputation).
24 months post-PTA

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of minor and major bleedings according to the GUSTO classification
Time Frame: 24 months post-PTA
Incidence of minor and major bleedings according to the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue plasminogen activator for Occluded coronary arteries classification
24 months post-PTA
