About this study

Official title: INTENSE: Iliac Artery Treatment With The Invatec Scuba™ Cobalt Chromium Stent

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Scuba™ stent in subjects with symptomatic claudication or rest pain and angiographic confirmation of de novo or restenotic lesions in the common and/or external iliac artery.

Read the detailed description

Interventional revascularization strategies for peripheral arterial disease currently available include both surgical and endovascular approaches such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), either as a stand-alone procedure or with the placement of a stent. Cobalt-chromium (CoCr) is an alloy that has been used safely in the manufacture of surgical implants for use in contact with blood, soft tissue and bone for over 10 years. This study will evaluate the SCUBA™ peripheral balloon-expandable cobalt chromium tent system in iliac arteries.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Composite of Major Adverse Events (MAE) Defined as the Occurrence of In-hospital Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Target Segment Revascularization, Target Limb Loss, or Death Within 9 Months Post-procedure.

    The analysis is based on the percentage of Intent to Treat subjects (ITT) who experienced the primary endpoint or who had adequate follow-up for the 9-month analysis. A subject had adequate follow-up if he/she had an event or had a follow-up of at least 256 days, allowing for a visit window of 9 months +/- 14 days.

    Measured: In-hospital and 9 Months

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Major Adverse Vascular Events Through 30 Days as a Composite of (MI, Death or Stroke, Stent Thrombosis, Distal Embolization, Arterial Rupture/Perforation, Acute Limb Ischemia, Target Limb Loss, Procedure-related Bleeding Event Requiring Transfusion)

    The analysis is based on the number of patients who experienced either an MI, died, had a stroke, stent thrombosis, distal embolization, arterial rupture/perforation limb ischemia, lost a target limb, or had a bleeding event due to the procedure within 30 days after being treated with the Scuba iliac stent.

    Measured: 30 Days

  2. Device Success

    The outcome is based on the successful delivery and deployment of the Scuba iliac stent and the intact retrieval of the delivery system.

    Measured: At time of deployment

  3. Procedural Success

    The outcome is based on the successful delivery and deployment of the Scuba iliac stent and the intact retrieval of the delivery system [Device Success] and the achievement of <30% residual stenosis immediately after stent deployment, without occurrence of in-hospital Major Adverse Events (MAE).

    Measured: Up to the moment the catheter sheath introducer has been removed

  4. Clinical Success

    Early Clinical Success (30 days) is defined as improvement of the Rutherford-Becker scale criteria by greater than or equal to one category as obtained at the 30 day follow-up visit.

    Measured: 30 Days

  5. Clinical Success

    Late Clinical Success (6 months) is defined as a maintained improvement in Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) or Thigh-Brachial Index (TBI) assessed as either a) normalized (0.90) or b) an increase by 0.1 from the baseline level and had not decreased by more than 0.15 from the maximum result observed immediately post-procedure. In the absence of ABI/TBI data, Late Clinical Success was assessed in the same manner as Early Clinical Success.

    Measured: 6 Months

  6. Clinical Success

    Late Clinical Success (9 months) is defined as a maintained improvement in Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) or Thigh-Brachial Index (TBI) assessed as either a) normalized (0.90) or b) an increase by 0.1 from the baseline level and had not decreased by more than 0.15 from the maximum result observed immediately post-procedure. In the absence of ABI/TBI data, Late Clinical Success was assessed in the same manner as Early Clinical Success.

    Measured: 9 Months

  7. Patency - Primary

    Patients were assumed primary patent if the target vessel had continuous flow without revascularization, bypass, or amputation at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 Months

  8. Patency - Primary Assisted

    Primary assisted patency is defined as continuous flow assisted with a revascularization when the target vessel has restenosed (0-99%) at any time post-procedure through 6 months.

    Measured: 6 Months

  9. Patency - Secondary

    Secondary patency is defined as reestablishment of flow to distal arteries after 100% occlusion has occurred at the target vessel at post-procedure through 6 months.

    Measured: 6 Months

  10. Patency - Primary

    Patients were assumed primary patent if the target vessel had continuous flow without revascularization, bypass, or amputation at 9 months.

    Measured: 9 Months

  11. Patency - Primary Assisted

    Primary assisted patency is defined as continuous flow assisted with a revascularization when the target vessel has restenosed (0-99%) at any time post-procedure through 9 months.

    Measured: 9 Months

  12. Patency - Secondary

    Secondary patency is defined as reestablishment of flow to distal arteries after 100% occlusion has occurred at the target vessel at post-procedure through 9 months.

    Measured: 9 Months

  13. Target Limb Revascularization

    Restenosis is defined as a 50% or greater diameter stenosis observed post-procedure through the 9 month timepoint. Restenosis is initially assessed by Duplex Ultrasound of the iliac artery with the common femoral artery.

    Measured: 9 Months

  14. Restenosis Rate (≥ 50% Diameter Stenosis by Duplex Ultrasound Determination)

    Restenosis is defined as a 50% or greater diameter stenosis observed post-procedure through the 9 month timepoint. Restenosis is initially assessed by Duplex Ultrasound of the iliac artery with the common femoral artery.

    Measured: 9 Months

  15. Death

    Death can be classified as one of three categories: cardiac, vascular, or non-cardiovascular. All deaths are considered cardiac unless an unequivocal non-cardiac cause can be established.

    Measured: 9 Months

  16. Target Limb Loss

    Amputation of the target limb by surgical removal of tissue anywhere from the toe to hip in the ipsilateral limb of the target segment. Amputations are subclassified as: Above the knee, Below the knee, Transmetatarsal, and Toe.

    Measured: 9 Months
