Brief summary

Long-term, observational, prospective, multicenter registry following patients who have been implanted with the SUPERA Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent for treating stenosis in the superficial femoral and/or femoropopliteal arteries.

Detailed description

This registry follows up to 200 patients for at least 5 years. The STRONG Data Registry will follow patients under real world conditions, evaluating restenosis rates, periprocedural/postprocedural complications, patency, target lesion revascularization, walking distance, stent fractures, and adverse events/serious adverse events.

It is calculated by dividing the higher systolic blood pressure in the ankle (dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial) of the one leg by the higher of the two systolic blood pressures in the arms. A doppler probe is used to monitor the pulse while a sphygmomanometer is inflated above the artery. The cuff is deflated and the pressure at which the pulse returns is recorded. ABI=Highest Ankle Systolic Pressure/Highest Brachial Systolic Pressure The ABI is the ratio of the ankle to arm pressure, and an ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 is considered normal. A reduced ABI (less than 0.9) is consistent with peripheral artery occlusive disease, with values below 0.8 indicating moderate disease and below 0.5 severe disease.

Recruitment details

This study planned to recruit up to 200 patients across 5-10 sites in the European Union. However, during the course of the study, intake was halted at 109 patients and the registry was terminated early because of slow enrollment, increased loss to follow-ups, and general lack of interest.

Target Limb Ankle Brachial Index (at Rest)

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is a measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs and is used to detect evidence of blockages in the peripheral vessels. It is calculated by dividing the higher systolic blood pressure in the ankle (dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial) of the one leg by the higher of the two systolic blood pressures in the arms. A doppler probe is used to monitor the pulse while a sphygmomanometer is inflated above the artery. The cuff is deflated and the pressure at which the pulse returns is recorded. ABI=Highest Ankle Systolic Pressure/Highest Brachial Systolic Pressure The ABI is the ratio of the ankle to arm pressure, and an ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 is considered normal. A reduced ABI (less than 0.9) is consistent with peripheral artery occlusive disease, with values below 0.8 indicating moderate disease and below 0.5 severe disease.
