Peripheral artery disease, Critical limb ischemia, Angioplasty, Antiplatelet therapy
Brief summary
* Prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study * A total of 390 subjects with critical limb ischemia will be included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. * Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 manner into triple antiplatelet therapy (TAP: aspirin, clopidogrel, cilostazol) group, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAP: aspirin, clopidogrel) A group, or DAP (aspirin, cilostazol) B group. * All patients will be treated with angioplasty for critical limb ischemia. * Patients will be followed clinically for 1 year after the procedure. * Ankle-brachial index and Image study follow-up (Duplex US or CT angiography) will be performed at 1 year.
Interventions
Combination antiplatelet therapy using aspirin (100 mg) and cilostazol (200 mg) after the index angioplasty
Combination antiplatelet therapy using aspirin (100 mg), clopidogrel (75 mg), and cilostazol (200 mg) after the index angioplasty
Combination antiplatelet therapy using aspirin (100 mg) and clopidogrel (75 mg) after the index angioplasty
