BEST SFA Pilot Study - Best Endovascular STrategy for Complex Lesions of the Superficial Femoral Artery
Sponsor: University of Leipzig
Summary
Prospective, multi-center 1:1 randomized trial to compare efficacy and safety of a stent-avoiding (using drug coated balloons) versus a stent-preferred (using drug eluting or interwoven stents) approach for treatment of complex femoropopliteal lesions TASC II (TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease) Type B-D (stenosis \>10cm, occlusions \>5cm).
Official title: BEST SFA Pilot Study - Best Endovascular STrategy for Complex Lesions of the Superficial Femoral Artery Comparing a Stent-avoiding (study Arm) Versus Stent-preferred (control Arm) Approach Within a Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center Trial

Conditions
Interventions
Stent-avoiding
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), in which a balloon is advanced and inflated in the obstructed artery for several seconds to minutes, has become the standard endovascular treatment for peripheral arteries
Stent-based
Stenting, in which a stent is advanced and implanted in the obstructed artery, has become the standard endovascular treatment for peripheral arteries
