What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary patency
Evaluations will be conducted after 3, 6 and 12 months of the procedure. The ultrasonographic evaluation of the degree of stenosis will use the Systolic Velocity Index (division of the velocity of flow at the point of greatest stenosis by the velocity of flow in normal prior segment). Rates higher than 2.4 indicate stenosis greater than 50%
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Rutherford classification
Change in classification from Rutherford evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months.
Measured: 12 months
Ankle braquial Index
Change in the Ankle braquial Index evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Drug Eluting Balloon Angioplasty and Nitinol stenting in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Arterial Occlusive Diseases, run by Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia at 1 site in Brazil.
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 5 inclusion and 9 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 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Primary patency (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02212470, which also lists 27 linked publications.
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 Jun 2021.
