Detailed Description

The burden of limb loss as a result of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is high and this problem is set to worsen globally with increasing prevalence of diabetes. Treatment of PAD in diabetic critical limb ischemia (CLI) primarily involves revascularisation of the limb. Angioplasty as a first line strategy of revascularization over surgical procedures has been adopted by most vascular centers. Arterial blockages for diabetic CLI patients occur predominantly in below the knee arteries which can be challenging to treat effectively. This is due to the high incidence of arterial recoil after conventional balloon angioplasty due the natural tendency of the vessels to maintain their original shape and the high restenosis rates of calcified lesions. To address these problems the novel ABLUMINUS DES system is specifically designed to withstand the mechanical recoil of diseased BTK arteries whilst delivering sirolimus to biologically inhibit restenosis. This study postulates that the application of the ABLUMINUS DES system will be safe and will result in better vascular patency in BTK arteries for CLI patients. The investigators aim to conduct a prospective, all comers, single arm, single centre registry of the ABLUMINUS DES system for the treatment of BTK disease.

Interventions

  • Device: ABLUMINUS DES drug eluting stent
    • Following successful plain balloon angioplasty of the arterial lesion, (defined as <30% residual stenosis after treatment at rated burst pressure of the angioplasty balloon), the ABLUMINUS stent will be deployed at the lesion as per Instructions for Use (IFU) after appropriate sizing using the diameter of the plain balloon angioplasty. After deployment of the ABLUMINUS stent, further balloon angioplasty of the stent will be performed, using the same diameter standard balloon catheter at 2 minutes inflation, to ensure adequate moulding and expansion of the stent.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: ABLUMINUS DES
    • ABLUMINUS DES drug eluting stent will be deployed after successful conventional balloon angioplasty. Sirolimus drug dosage on the ABLUMINUS DES drug eluting stent system is determined by Concept Medical to deliver the optimal dose of sirolimus to the abluminal surface of the BTK lesions.

    • The EQ-5D is a descriptive system of health-related quality-of-life states consisting of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each of which can take 1 of 5 responses. The responses record 5 levels of severity (no problems/slight problems/moderate problems/severe problems/extreme problems) within a particular EQ-5D dimension). The levels are assigned a numeric code 1-5 (eg, 1= no problems and 5= extreme problems). Sub-scores are not applicable.
