  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with CTO who are indicated for recanalization.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient must have objective evidence of lower extremity ischemia and scheduled to undergo an endovascular recanalization.
  • Occluded artery must be the native superficial femoral artery.
  • Patient must have a totally occlusive lesion classified angiographically as absolute (100% occlusion with no flow).
  • Patient's target vessel occlusion length is ≤ 30 cm.
  • Patient's reference vessel diameter is greater than or equal to 3.0mm.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin or radiographic contrast agents which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
  • The patient requires immediate treatment in more than one occluded vessel, in any combination of grafts or native vessels.
  • Patient's occlusion is a flush occlusion initiating less than 2cm from the ostium.
  • Patient has planned infrainguinal intervention scheduled within 30 days after index procedure.

  • Patient has no collateral flow distal to the occlusion.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Patient's target occlusion has a dissection that occurred within the past 60 days caused by a guidewire attempt.
  • Patient has a history of bleeding diatheses, coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusion in cases of emergency.
  • Patient suffered recent (within the past 6 months) stroke or transient ischemic neurological attack (TIA).
  • Patient suffered recent (within the past 6 months) significant gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
  • Patient has other medical illnesses (i.e., cancer or congestive heart failure) that may cause the patient to be non-compliant with the protocol, confound the data interpretation or is associated with life-expectancy less than 1 year.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if the CROSSER CTO Recanalization System can facilitate the successful crossing of Chronic Total Occlusions in the Central lumen of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA). A Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) is defined as 100% narrowing of the artery, with no angiographically detectable antegrade blood flow, and the assessment that the lesion has been in existence for a minimum of 30 days. This study will enroll up to 100 patients at up to 8 clinical sites. The CROSSER CTO Recanalization System was cleared for commercialization by the US Food \& Drug Administration. This study also involves an imaging device called the IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging) catheter. This device has been cleared for commercialization by the US Food and Drug Administration and will be studied for its cleared intended use. The IVUS catheter is used to generate real-time images of the artery, which will allow for evaluation of the artery after the occlusion is crossed. This is a post-market registry.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 1. CROSSER SystemDevice

    Also called Crosser catheter, IVUS catheter

    The Crosser system will be used to recanalize the chronic total occlusion in the SFA (superficial femoral artery). The IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging) System will be used in the treated occlusion after the Crosser to generate real-time images of the artery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Crosser navigates through the central lumen of the artery

    Successful navigation of the CROSSER CTO Recanalization Catheter in the central lumen of the artery as confirmed by Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) following recanalization

    Measured: At time of procedure (day 0)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Technical Success - crossing the CTO into the true distal lumen

    The ability to facilitate crossing the CTO into the true distal lumen with the CROSSER Catheter and/or any conventional guidewire after use of the CROSSER.

    Measured: At time of procedure (Day 0)

  2. Procedural Success - Technical success plus residual stenosis < 50% and improved flow

    Achievement of Technical Success plus a residual stenosis <50%, and improved flow verified angiographically, at the conclusion of the procedure.

    Measured: Time of Procedure (Day 0)

  3. Clinical Success - freedom from limb loss and repeat revascularization

    Clinical Success - freedom from limb loss, and repeat revascularization (bypass surgery, or PTA) from index hospitalization through 6 moth follow-up

    Measured: 6 month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Total Occlusion of Artery of the Extremities, run by C. R. Bard at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Crosser navigates through the central lumen of the artery (time frame: At time of procedure (day 0)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2013.
