Clinical Value of CT Perfusion in Peripheral Artery Disease
An observational study of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and CT Perfusion, run by Fudan University.
Trial summary
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects millions worldwide and can lead to serious complications such as leg ulcers, gangrene, and amputation. Current imaging methods mainly evaluate large blood vessels but do not measure microcirculation in the foot. Read more about this study

Study population: This study will enroll adult patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who are scheduled to undergo vascular reconstruction (endovascular or surgical). Participants will receive CT perfusion imaging prior to the procedure. The study population aims to investigate the predictive value of CT perfusion parameters for postoperative adverse clinical events, with a planned follow-up period of 2 years.
Who may be able to join
- Diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD) confirmed by clinical evaluation and imaging (e.g., CTA, DSA).
- Planned to undergo endovascular or surgical revascularization.
- Age ≥ 18 years old.
- Signed written informed consent.
Who cannot join
- Allergy to iodinated contrast agents.
- Severe renal insufficiency (e.g., eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m²).
- Acute limb ischemia requiring emergency surgery.
- Major limb amputation already performed prior to enrollment.
- Life expectancy less than 2 years due to severe comorbidities.
- Unwilling or unable to complete the 2-year follow-up.
About this study
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects millions worldwide and can lead to serious complications such as leg ulcers, gangrene, and amputation. Current imaging methods mainly evaluate large blood vessels but do not measure microcirculation in the foot. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is a new technique that can assess blood flow in small vessels.
The purpose of this study is to see whether combining CTP measurements with standard CT angiography images and patient clinical information can help predict which PAD patients are more likely to have poor outcomes after surgery to restore blood flow (revascularization). Poor outcomes include death or major limb problems such as amputation or need for another procedure.

This is an observational study. Researchers will collect data from about 200 adult PAD patients who are scheduled to undergo revascularization. Participants will receive routine care including CT scans before and after surgery. No experimental drugs or devices are given. Researchers will follow participants for up to 2 years after surgery through medical records and phone calls to track their recovery and any complications.
The results may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve treatment decisions.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Predictive value of CT perfusion for adverse clinical events after revascularization
Assessment of the predictive value of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) parameters combined with CT angiography and clinical data for postoperative adverse outcomes. Adverse clinical events are defined as all-cause mortality, major adverse limb events (including major amputation and target limb reintervention), or non-healing ulcers/gangrene. Data will be collected through medical records and follow-up visits.
Measured: From baseline (preoperative) assessment through 2 years after revascularization

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects millions worldwide and can lead to serious complications such as leg ulcers, gangrene, and amputation. Current imaging methods mainly evaluate large blood vessels but do not measure microcirculation in the foot. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is a new technique that can assess blood flow in small vessels.
The purpose of this study is to see whether combining CTP measurements with standard CT angiography images and patient clinical information can help predict which PAD patients are more likely to have poor outcomes after surgery to restore blood flow (revascularization). Poor outcomes include death or major limb problems such as amputation or need for another procedure.
