Disease/condition/study domain
|
Critical limb ischemia
|
|
Participants - inclusion criteria
|
1. Critical limb ischemia (CLI) lasting > 2 weeks (Fontaine stages III or IV or Rutherford classes 4 to 6 as assessed by clinical examination
2. Ankle pressure < 50 mm Hg, toe pressure <30 mm Hg, TcPo2 < 30 mm Hg
3. Availability of adequate saphenous vein for bypass surgery
|
|
Participants - exclusion criteria
|
1. Acute limb-threatening ischemia (either embolic or thrombotic)
2. Non-atherosclerotic disease or documented hypercoagulopathy
3. End-stage renal disease and other severe co-morbidities with a life expectancy of less than 2 years American Society of Anesthesiologists [(ASA) IV, V]
4. Chronic total occlusions of the common/superficial femoral artery (>20cm) or the popliteal artery and proximal trifurcation vessels [according to TransAtlantic InterSociety (TASC) II D lesions]
5. Isolated single or multiple stenosis of the infrainguinal arteries that could be treated by endovascular means
6. Impaired infow of the aorto-iliac arteries (>50% stenosis or occlusions)
7. Contraindications for antiplatelet agents and/or anticoagulants
8. Surgical or catheter intervention on the index leg within the last 3 months

Interventions
|
As of 31/01/2012, this study was stopped due to patient recruitment issues.
Intervention type I: Best endovascular treatment (angioplasty +/- stent)
Intervention type II: Best surgical treatment (below the knee vein bypass)
|
|
Primary outcome measure(s)
|
1. Perioperative death (POD, 30 days)
2. Any major adverse limb event (MALE) within 1 year
2.1. Above ankle amputation of the index limb
2.2. Major reintervention (new bypass graft, jump/interposition graft revision, or thrombectomy/thrombolysis)
|
|
Secondary outcome measure(s)
|
1. Clinical safety endpoints
1.1. Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE): myocardial infarction, stroke or death (any cause) within 30 days
1.2. Any MALE (definition see above) within 30 days
1.3. Above-ankle amputation within 30 days
2. Clinical efficacy endpoints
2.1. Any MALE (definition see above) within 2 years
2.2. Primary sustained clinical improvement: upward shift on the Rutherford or Fontaine classifcation to a level of intermittent claudication (IC) without the need for repeated target lesion revascularization (TLR) in surviving patients and without the need for unplanned amputation within 2 years
2.3. Secondary sustained clinical improvement: upward shift on the Rutherford or Fontaine classification to a level of IC including the need for repeated TLR in surviving patients and without the need for unplanned amputation within 2 years
2.4. Above ankle amputation of the index limb within 2 years
2.5. Amputation-Free Survival (AFS): above ankle amputation of the index limb or death (any cause) within 2 years
2.6. Any reintervention or above ankle amputation of the index limb within 2 years
2.7. Death (any cause) within 2 years
3. Haemodynamic endpoints (30 days, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months)
3.1. Failure to increase Ankle brachial Index (ABI) by at least 0.15 post-procedure as compared to baseline value
3.2. Decrease in ABI by 0.15 or greater as compared to post-procedure value
3.3. Duplex ultrasound or angiography demonstrating occlusion of graft or any treated vessel, or >50% stenosis in the presence or recurrent clinical symptoms
4. Further secondary endpoints
4.1. Wound healing documeted by serial photographs
4.2. Quality of life (PAVK 86, MOS-SF 36)
4.3. Total costs of treatment modalities
