Keywords
angioplasty, infrapopliteal arteries
Brief summary
It is a randomized study that intend to enroll 80 bellow-the-knee angioplasty procedures in which 40 procedures to treat one artery (standart) or more than one artery in the same procedure. The aim of this study is to know if this strategy increase healing velocity and limb salvage.

Masking description
The moment of randomization was after the successful accomplish of the recanalizaripn of the first artery. The used 80 sealed papers - 40 for each treatment. The nurse pick up one of the mixed papers and the procedure stops or continuous to the another artery depending on the randomization.
Intervention model description
In this study, there is no use of other drugs, biological vaccine or combination product, but it was used two different approaches to the same problem: the renalization of the tibial arteries in patients with tissue loss. The angioplasty, that is the usual method of treatment, is done for one or more than one artery after randomization. It is phase 4 because it is an usual method of treatment (gold standard) for this disease.
