Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients over 18 years with critical lower limb ischemia,
  • Ruhtherford 3 or higher,
  • with angiographic documentation of greater than 70% or occlusion in the superficial femoral artery,
  • with a maximum extension of 10 cm stenosis.
  • The popliteal artery and at least one leg artery must be patent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnancy,
  • thrombophilia,
  • coagulation disorders,
  • presence of active or recent bleeding,
  • severe allergy to iodinated contrast,
  • renal or hepatic disease,
  • acute limb ischemia,
  • prior surgical bypass or angioplasty (with or without stent) on the target artery,
  • obstructive disease (stenosis> 50%) of the aortoiliac segment ipsilateral to the target (if the aortoiliac is pre-treated, the patient may be included)

Treatment and study plan

Nitinol stenting

Device

Nitinol stent deployment

Other names: Medtronic, Complete SE

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary patency

    Time frame: 12 months

    Evaluations will be conducted after 3, 6 and 12 months of the procedure. The ultrasonographic evaluation of the degree of stenosis will use the Systolic Velocity Index (division of the velocity of flow at the point of greatest stenosis by the velocity of flow in normal prior segment). Rates higher than 2.4 indicate stenosis greater than 50%

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rutherford classification

    Time frame: 12 months

    Change in classification from Rutherford evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months.

  2. Ankle braquial Index

    Time frame: 12 months

    Change in the Ankle braquial Index evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months

  3. Target Lesion Revascularization

    Time frame: 12 months

    Target Lesion Revascularization rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months

  4. Stent fracture

    Time frame: 12 months

    Stent fracture rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months

  5. Amputation

    Time frame: 12 months

    Major amputation defined as amputation that requires prosthesis

  6. Acute myocardial infarct

    Time frame: 12 months

    Acute myocardial infarct rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months

  7. Death

    Time frame: 12 months

    Death rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months
