About this study

This study will test whether using ultrasound imaging within blood vessels during minimally invasive treatment of leg arteries in patients with peripheral artery disease leads to better clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This is a U.S. prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided Lower Extremity (LE) endovascular intervention in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) (Rutherford class 2-5).

Being tested
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), Angiographic-guided Intervention
Keywords
Intravascular Ultrasound, Angioplasty, Endovascular Treatment
Medical subject headings
Peripheral Arterial Disease

What participants receive

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

  • Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)Device

    pre-and post-procedural IVUS to guide atherectomy, balloon angioplasty based treatments and/or stent placement

  • Angiographic-guided InterventionDevice

    Standard angiography-guided intervention without IVUS.

Study groups in NCT07353905
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)Active comparatorIntravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is used during the treatment of the target lesion.
Receives: Device: Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
Non-Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)Active comparatorIntravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is not used in the treatment of the target lesion.
Receives: Device: Angiographic-guided Intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Patency

    Freedom from restenosis ≥50% or an increase in Duplex Ultrasound peak systolic velocity ≥2.5 times reference proximal segment or target lesion revascularization (TLR).

    Measured: From enrollment to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Technical Success

    Technical success is defined as less than 30% residual stenosis in the target lesion following the index procedure. Residual stenosis determined by operator visual estimation.

    Measured: Collected from index procedure

  2. Procedural Success

    Procedural success is technical success (less than 30 % residual stenosis in the target lesion) without the occurrence of procedural complications during the index procedure. Residual stenosis determined by operator visual estimation.

    Measured: Collected from Index procedure

  3. Clinically driven-TLR (CD-TLR)

    Clinically driven-target limb revascularization. Information collected from the medical record.

    Measured: From enrollment to 12 months

  4. Amputation-free Survival

    Defined as no evidence of amputation. Information is collected from the medical record

    Measured: From enrollment to 12 months

  5. Functional Status Improvement (Vascular Quality of Life Questionnaire (VascuQoL-6))

    Vascular Quality of Life Questionnaire (VascuQoL-6) collected at index procedure and 12 months.

    Measured: From enrollment to 12 months

  6. Functional Status Improvement (Rutherford Class Improvement)

    Rutherford class determined by physician and collected from the medical record.

    Measured: From enrollment to 12 months

  7. Cost Effectiveness

    This analysis will calculate total cost-effectiveness by comparing costs between the two groups. Total cost will include the initial procedural cost, costs related to complications, and costs of any repeat reinterventions during follow-up.

    Measured: Evaluated at 12 months
