Multi-centre randomised controlled trial of the cost-effectiveness of infra-inguinal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) versus reconstructive surgery for severe limb ischaemia
ISRCTN ISRCTN45398889
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Multi-centre randomised controlled trial of the cost-effectiveness of infra-inguinal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) versus reconstructive surgery for severe limb ischaemia
Scientific title
Acronym BASIL
Serial number at source HTA 96/05/01
Study hypothesis To determine by means of a multi-centre, randomised controlled trial whether, in patients with severe lower limb ischaemia, adopting a 'PTA first' strategy rather then the traditional 'surgery first' strategy is associated with a better outcome in terms of:
a. A reduction on all-cause mortality and requirement for major limb amputation (primary clinical end-points)
b. Abolition of symptoms, procedure complications, secondary and cross-over interventions, minor amputation, quality of life measures and cost-effective utilisation of NHS resources (secondary end-points)
Ethics approval Not provided at time of registration.
