Safety and Effectiveness Study of EverFlex Stent to Treat Symptomatic Femoral-popliteal Atherosclerosis - Full Text View

Purpose

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, single arm study to compare PTA and primary stenting using a single PROTÉGÉ® EverFlex™ stent to performance goals of PTA alone in the treatment of atherosclerotic superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal lesions.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Primary Patency [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Primary stent patency, as determined by the core laboratory, was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 at the stented target lesion as measured by duplex ultrasound at the 1-year follow-up visit (335-395 days post procedure) and no clinically-driven TLR within the stented segment within 1 year of the procedure.
Major Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 30 Days ]
Major Adverse Events (MAE) was defined as clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR), amputation of treated limb, or all-cause mortality, as adjudicated by the Clinical Events Commettee (CEC)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Single-Stent Primary Patency [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Primary stent patency in subjects with single-stent, as determined by the core laboratory, was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 at the stented target lesion as measured by duplex ultrasound at the 1-year follow-up visit (335-395 days post procedure) and no clinically-driven TLR within the stented segment within 1 year of the procedure. Single stents were implanted in 272 subject.
Single-Stent Major Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 30 Days ]
MAE rate in subjects who received a single stent was defined as clinically-driven TLR, amputation of treated limb, or all-cause mortality that occurred within 30-days post-procedure, as adjudicated by the CEC. Single stents were implanted in 272 subjects.
Major Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
MAE rate at 1 year was defined as clinically-driven TLR, amputation of treated limb, or all-cause mortality that occurs within 1 year post-procedure, as adjudicated by the CEC.
Stent Fracture Rate [ Time Frame: 1, 2 and 3 Years ]
Stent integrity determined by x-ray at 1, 2 and 3 years post stent implantation. only 1 year data presented here.
Decline in Rutherford Clinical Category [ Time Frame: 30 Days ]
Defined as an increase of one or more categories in RCC compared to baseline.
Improvement in Rutherford Clinical Category [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Improvement in Rutherford Clinical Category (RCC) was defined as an improvement in clinical status indicated by a decrease of one or more categories in RCC compared to baseline.
Increase in Ankle-Brachial Index [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Defined as an increase in ancle-brachial index (ABI) at 1 year compared to baseline in subjects with compressible arteries and baseline ABI < 0.9.
Assisted Primary Patency [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Assisted primary patency at 1 year was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 as measured by binary duplex ultrasound maintained by repeated percutaneous intervention completed prior to complete vessel closure. Kaplan-Meier assisted primary patency was evaluated in all enrolled subjects.
Secondary Patency [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Secondary patency was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 maintained by repeat percutaneous intervention after occlusion of the target lesion. Secondary patency was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method in all enrolled subjects.
Absolute Claudication Distance Improvement [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Absolute claudication distance improvement at 1 year was defined as the increase in walking distance determined by a graded treadmill exercise test. Only assessed in subjects enrolled under study procol versions in which the endpoint was predefined.
Walking Improvement [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Duplex Ultrasound ≤ 2.4 Primary Patency [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
Defined as a binary duplex ultrasound ratio ≤ 2.4 at the stented target lesion with no clinically-driven reintervention without the stented segment. Duplex Ultrasound ≤ 2.4 primary patency was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method in all enrolled subjects.
