Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Brief Summary

In this prospective study, a newly developed self-expanding nitinol stent is evaluated for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient must sign informed consent prior to the index-procedure
  • Patient must be older than 18 years
  • Patient must be compliant with follow-up dates at 1 month and 12 months
  • Patients with intermittent claudication (Rutherford 2-3) and critical limb ischemia (Rutherford 4-5)
  • Target lesion is located in the superficial femoral artery (minimal 1 cm from origin of SFA and minimal 1 cm above the edge of the patella)
  • Reference vessel diameter ≥4.5 and ≤6.5 mm (visual estimate)
  • Patients with a TASC A, B or C lesion
  • Diameter stenosis of target lesion \>50% or chronic occlusions
  • Inflow arteries are free of hemodynamically significant obstruction (i.e. ≥50%)
  • The popliteal artery (outflow) is free of hemodynamically significant obstruction (i.e. ≥50%)
  • At least 1 patent below-the-knee vessel (anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery or peroneal artery) till the ankle confirmed by baseline angiography

Exclusion

  • Patients with Rutherford 1 and 6
  • Patiens with Serum creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL or renal dialysis
  • Patient takes esomeprazole or omeprazole
  • Patient is pregnant
  • Patient suffers from acute limb ischemia defined as any sudden decrease in limb perfusion causing a potential threat to limb viability
  • Target lesion cannot be crossed with a guidewire
  • Target lesion is located in the popliteal artery
  • Patients with a nickel-titanium allergy
  • Patients with an aneurysm in the superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery
  • Patients with a TASC D lesion
  • Patients with a life expectancy \<1 year
  • Patients with scheduled elective non-vascular procedures within 3 months after index-procedure, vascular procedures are allowed within 3 months after index-procedure if it is guaranteed that acetylic salicylic acid and clopidogrel intake is not interrupted
  • Patients with previous bypass surgery in the SFA
  • Patients with intolerance to antithrombotic medication (acetylic salicylic acid, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, direct thrombin inhibitors, etc)
  • Patient has not been premedicated with acetylic salicylic acid (at least 80 mg/day) 2 hours before the index-procedure
  • Patient has not been premedicated with clopidogrel (600 mg/day) 2 hours before the index-procedure
