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

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 group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) | Active comparator | Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is used during the treatment of the target lesion. Receives: Device: Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) |
| Non-Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) | Active comparator | Intravascular 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.
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)
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
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
Clinically driven-TLR (CD-TLR)
Clinically driven-target limb revascularization. Information collected from the medical record.
Measured: From enrollment to 12 months
Amputation-free Survival
Defined as no evidence of amputation. Information is collected from the medical record
Measured: From enrollment to 12 months
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
Functional Status Improvement (Rutherford Class Improvement)
Rutherford class determined by physician and collected from the medical record.
Measured: From enrollment to 12 months
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

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Angiographic-guided Intervention in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Lower Extremity Arterial Disease, run by Baylor Research Institute at 6 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 5 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Sarah Hale (469-814-4845, sarah.hale@bswhealth.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Primary Patency (time frame: From enrollment to 6 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 NCT07353905, which also lists 9 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 9 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
