Study of IN.PACT Amphirion™ Drug Eluting Balloon vs. Standard PTA for the Treatment of Below the Knee Critical Limb Ischemia

Medtronic Endovascular358 enrolled

Overview

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized (2:1) trial of symptomatic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) secondary to atherosclerotic lesions (stenotic or occluded) of the infrapopliteal vessels. Patients will undergo a percutaneous transluminal endovascular procedure with either the IN.PACT Amphirion™ drug eluting balloon or with a standard (Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty) PTA balloon. Patients will be followed with pre-study, post-study, and follow-up evaluations.

Quality of Life Assessment by EQ5D

Quality of life assessment by EQ5D at 1 year compared to baseline. EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status and economic appraisal. The EQ-5D-3L essentially consists of 2 parts:the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: (1) no problems, (2) some problems, (3) extreme problems. The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state'. EQ-5D health states can be converted into a single summary index where 0.0='worst possible outcome' and 1.0='best possible outcome'.

Time frame: 12 months

Walking Capacity Assessment

Walking Impairment assessment by WIQ at 1 year compared to baseline. The Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) is a questionnaire for evaluating walking impairment in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This can be used to identify patients with significant impairment and to monitor effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. The questionnaire was self-administered by the patients and contains three domains measuring three important factors of walking impairment in patients with intermittent claudication: (1) difficulty walking a distance during the past month, (2) difficulty walking at a certain speed during the past month, (3) symptoms associated with walking impairment. For each separate domain, a subscore was calculated. The total WIQ score was defined as the mean of the three subscores. A WIQ score of 42.5 or less identified low performers; while a score of 75.5 or more identified high performers. The WIQ score range is 0 (minimum) - 100 (maximum).
