About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemia focused on measuring critical lower limb ischemia with tissue loss

Eligibility Criteria

40 Years - 95 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient population: all patients with CLI (critical limb ischemia) and tissue loss scheduled for endovascular intervention for femoral popliteal occlusive or multilevel disease.
  • Patient or patient's legal representative have been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to participate and has signed an Ethical Committee approved consent form
  • Female patients of childbearing potential have a negative pregnancy test ≤7 days before the procedure and are willing to use a reliable method of birth control for the duration of study participation
  • Patient has documented chronic Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) in the target limb prior to the study procedure with Rutherford Category 5 or 6
  • General Angiographic Inclusion Criteria
  • Single or multiple lesions with ≥70% diameter stenosis (DS) of different lengths in the SFA and/or popliteal arteries.
  • Iliac inflow or Tibial outflow interventions can be done at the discretion of the investigator with standard balloon Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient unwilling or unlikely to comply with Follow-Up schedule
  • Aneurysm in the target vessel
  • Acute thrombus in the target limb
  • Sensitivity to Paclitaxel
  • Immunosuppressed patients (transplant, chemotherapy, etc.)

Arm Label

Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) and Tissue Loss

Arm Description

Paclitaxel® coated balloons will be used for patients identified with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) and Tissue Loss. Patients with CLI will receive either Angiogram, Medtronic DCB (paclitaxel)/stent or Angiogram, Bard DCB (paclitaxel)/stent

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Wound Healing
Percentage of participants with wound healing defined as > 50% area/volume reduction of baseline ulcer(s) in the treated leg at 1 year.
Amputation Free Survival
Percentage of participants with a 1 year amputation free survival.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Primary Patency ( determine if vessel remains open)
Prospective duplex ultrasound will be performed at the intervals listed to verify (primary and secondary) patency of targeted vessels. Assessment of severe restenosis and reinterventions will be determined
Rate of severe stenosis (narrowing) and reinterventions
Severe stenosis (>50%) evaluated by Duplex ultrasound at 1,3,6 and 12 month intervals

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The use of drug coated balloon (DCB) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and tissue loss has recently raised some concerns after the IN.PACT deep trial using paclitaxel coated balloon angioplasty in the tibial arteries was terminated. The investigators objective is to establish the safety and efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) for femoropopliteal occlusive disease in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and tissue loss. The investigators objective is to establish the safety and efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) for femoropopliteal occlusive disease in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and tissue loss.
Detailed Description
Although the association between the drug coated balloon (DCB) therapy and limb outcomes could not be clearly linked to the use of antiproliferative agents, the findings of paclitaxel crystals downstream of the treated lesions, although in small amounts, has raised concerns about the safety of such therapy in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and tissue loss. These concerns, however, may not translate to patients with femoropopliteal occlusive disease as the amount of paclitaxel reaching the foot may be even smaller after being filtered by the calf musculature. Since the use of DCB angioplasty in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and popliteal has been shown to deliver significantly more durable outcomes compared to standard angioplasty alone, with reported primary patency rates of almost 90% at one year, this therapy may even be more needed in patients with tissue loss where prolonged patency is essential for wound healing.
