About this study

This study aims to determine whether intraoperative physiologic measurements of blood flow to the leg during endovascular treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) can predict future clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) caused by atherosclerosis can cause cause leg pain, gangrene, and limb loss. PAD is a result of poor blood flow to the extremity, and the emerging most common initial method of interventional treatment is endovascular therapy, for example angioplasty or stenting. The poor blood flow to the extremity can be inferred by the hemodynamic pressure of blood in the leg. These toe or ankle pressure measurements are typically performed before surgery to diagnose PAD, and after surgery as surveillance.

However, endovascular treatment has a high failure rate often exceeding 20% within a year. There is evidence that physiologic measurements prior to treatment and after treatment are closely related to clinical outcomes. This study introduces these physiologic measurements to the operating room, to determine if physiologic improvement can be detected instantaneously during endovascular revascularization. Patients will be followed for a year following surgery to detect hemodynamic and clinical outcomes. The rationale of these intraoperative measurements would be to potentially guide future surgery, by providing real-time hemodynamic feedback to the operator.

What participants receive

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

  • Intraoperative Hemodynamic PressuresDiagnostic test

    Also called Toe Brachial Index, Ankle Brachial Index, Absolute Toe Pressure, Absolute Ankle Pressure

    Secondary analyses will examine the Ankle-Brachial Index, and the absolute limb pressures. In addition, the changes in flow rate of contrast before- and after- intervention will be examined as an indicator of perfusion.

  • Contrast Flow RateDiagnostic test

    Also called Time to Peak Opacification, Rate of Contrast Opacification, Wash-In Rate, Wash-Out Rate

    A secondary analysis will examine the rate of contrast flow during pre-intervention and post-intervention angiograms, and correlate these findings with hemodynamic measurements recorded during surgery.

Study groups in NCT03875846
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intraoperative Hemodynamic ImprovementThe primary outcome will examine the magnitude of change in the Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) between the beginning and the end of the procedure. The two measurements will be taken before- and after- vascular sheaths had been placed.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Intraoperative Hemodynamic Pressures; Diagnostic Test: Contrast Flow Rate

What is being measured

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

  1. Major Adverse Limb Event (MALE)

    Composite outcome of major amputation above the ankle, major re-intervention in the form of catheter-directed thrombolysis, open bypass or thrombectomy.

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Major Amputation

    Any ipsilateral leg amputation performed above the joint of the ankle.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Minor Amputation

    Any ipsilateral leg amputation performed distal to the joint of the ankle.

    Measured: 1 Year

  3. Target Vessel Re-Intervention

    Endovascular, Open, Thrombectomy, Thrombolysis.

    Measured: 1 Year

  4. Target Vessel Patency

    Primary: Absence of target vessel occlusion or restenosis >50% Primary Assisted: Patency requiring assistance of subsequent procedure to maintain patency of target vessel Secondary: Patency requiring assistance of subsequent procedure to restore patency of target vessel

    Measured: 1 Year

  5. Improvement in Rutherford's Classification of Peripheral Vascular Disease

    Maximal documented categorical state following index revascularization

    Measured: 1 Year

  6. Post-Operative Hemodynamic Measurements

    Correlation between intraoperative completion and immediate post-operative measurements, with longer-term surveillance measurements

    Measured: 1 - 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Vascular Diseases and Blood Pressure, run by Mark Rockley at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 4 Aug 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 Canada. 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?

Major Adverse Limb Event (MALE) (time frame: 1 Year). 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 NCT03875846, 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 4 Aug 2021.
