Overview

This is a common care study. A study for evaluating the quality of balloon inflation and stent application will be performed in 2D angiography alone in the control group and then by 2D and OCT angiography for the experimental group. The benefit could be an improvement in the results of revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions thanks to OCT which allows a 3D visualization of the arterial lumen.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient over 18 years old
  • Femoral-popliteal lesion TASC-C or TASC-D de novo (F1 to P1)
  • Starting lesion on the superficial femoral artery and not extending beyond the intercondylar notch (P2)
  • ≥1 continuous permeable leg axis directly injecting the plantar arch
  • Rutherford 2-5

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient under personal protection regime (tutorship, guardianship)
  • Absence of arterial axis in permeable leg
  • Patient presenting a limb acute ischaemia (chart evolving since less than 14 days)
  • Patient without favorable element to consider healing
  • History of stents on the femoropopliteal axis
  • History of femoropopliteal bypass
  • Untreated stenosis ≥30% on the iliac axis and common femoral upstream
  • Popliteal lesion beyond the intercondylar notch (P2)

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
