About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of drug-eluting balloons is effective in the treatment of (re)stenosis in bypass vein grafts.

Read the detailed description

Drug-eluting devices have proved beneficial in the treatment of stenosis in native coronary and lower limb arteries. Stenosis and restenosis is a known problem in bypass vein grafts, and drug-eluting devices might be beneficial in this field as well.

In the procedure a conventional balloon is passed through the stenosis which is then dilated. After this patients are randomized before a second dilatation with either a conventional balloon or a drug-coated balloon.

The stenosis is evaluated preoperatively and followed up by means of ultrasound by a vascular technician. Follow-up will end at 12 months.

What participants receive

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

  • Conventional PTADevice

    Also called PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty), Balloon angioplasty

    After passing the stenosis it is dilated with a conventional balloon. The patient is randomized to a second dilatation with a conventional balloon

  • Drug-eluting balloonDevice

    Also called DEB

    After passing the stenosis it is dilated with a conventional balloon. The patient is randomized to a second dilatation with a drug-eluting balloon

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional PTA and Drug-eluting balloon in people with Peripheral Artery Occlusive Disease and Peripheral Artery Restenosis, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Jan 2017. 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 Finland. 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?

TLR (Target lesion revascularization) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03023098, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jan 2017.
