Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Scuba™ stent in subjects with symptomatic claudication or rest pain and angiographic confirmation of de novo or restenotic lesions in the common and/or external iliac artery.

Detailed description

Interventional revascularization strategies for peripheral arterial disease currently available include both surgical and endovascular approaches such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), either as a stand-alone procedure or with the placement of a stent. Cobalt-chromium (CoCr) is an alloy that has been used safely in the manufacture of surgical implants for use in contact with blood, soft tissue and bone for over 10 years. This study will evaluate the SCUBA™ peripheral balloon-expandable cobalt chromium tent system in iliac arteries.

Interventions

Clinical Success30 DaysEarly Clinical Success (30 days) is defined as improvement of the Rutherford-Becker scale criteria by greater than or equal to one category as obtained at the 30 day follow-up visit.
Patency - Primary6 MonthsPatients were assumed primary patent if the target vessel had continuous flow without revascularization, bypass, or amputation at 6 months.
Patency - Primary Assisted6 MonthsPrimary assisted patency is defined as continuous flow assisted with a revascularization when the target vessel has restenosed (0-99%) at any time post-procedure through 6 months.
Major Adverse Vascular Events Through 30 Days as a Composite of (MI, Death or Stroke, Stent Thrombosis, Distal Embolization, Arterial Rupture/Perforation, Acute Limb Ischemia, Target Limb Loss, Procedure-related Bleeding Event Requiring Transfusion)30 DaysThe analysis is based on the number of patients who experienced either an MI, died, had a stroke, stent thrombosis, distal embolization, arterial rupture/perforation limb ischemia, lost a target limb, or had a bleeding event due to the procedure within 30 days after being treated with the Scuba iliac stent.
Target Limb Revascularization9 MonthsRestenosis is defined as a 50% or greater diameter stenosis observed post-procedure through the 9 month timepoint. Restenosis is initially assessed by Duplex Ultrasound of the iliac artery with the common femoral artery.
Restenosis Rate (≥ 50% Diameter Stenosis by Duplex Ultrasound Determination)9 MonthsRestenosis is defined as a 50% or greater diameter stenosis observed post-procedure through the 9 month timepoint. Restenosis is initially assessed by Duplex Ultrasound of the iliac artery with the common femoral artery.
Death9 MonthsDeath can be classified as one of three categories: cardiac, vascular, or non-cardiovascular. All deaths are considered cardiac unless an unequivocal non-cardiac cause can be established.
Target Limb Loss9 MonthsAmputation of the target limb by surgical removal of tissue anywhere from the toe to hip in the ipsilateral limb of the target segment. Amputations are subclassified as: Above the knee, Below the knee, Transmetatarsal, and Toe.
