Clinical Trial: Drug-Eluting Balloons vs Mimetic Stents for Popliteal Artery Disease
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Popliteal Arterial Stenosis
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Comparative Study Between Drug-Eluting Balloons and Mimetic Stents for Popliteal Artery Disease Treatment in Patients With Chronic Lower Limb Ischemia
Brief Summary:
More advanced and severe cases of chronic lower limb ischemia (the so-called critical lower limb ischemia) are painful and limiting conditions that impact on patients' quality of life.Until now, the available evidence for the femoropopliteal area only defines open surgery or endovascular treatment indications.However, the best strategy for endovascular procedures is still unclear.The popliteal artery is a challenging anatomical site for balloon angioplasty alone and standard nitinol stenting angioplasty.This…
