Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Age over 18; (2) Symptomatic, chronic atheroslerotic lesions of the common iliac artery or external iliac artery; (3) Single or multiple borderline (50-70%) stenosis measured with ultrasound; (4) Rutherfordclass 1-6; (5) Signed informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) Previous endovascular or surgical treatment of the target iliac arteries; (2) Inability to undergo all measurements (e.g. usual MRI contra-indications); (3) Mental disability that hinders the ability to understand and comply with the informed consent; (4) Pregnancy or breast-feeding; (5) Renal insufficiency (e-GFR<30 ml/min/1.73m2); (6) Known allergy to gadolinium based contrast agents; (7) Patients with acute ischemic limbs or aneurismal iliac lesions; (8) Patients with occlusive inflow (aortic) and/ or outflow (common femoral artery) disease.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Validation of the personalized pressure model with intra-arterial pressure and flow measurements (model validation), and intravascular ultrasound (model input validation) that serves as the gold standard. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Validation of the by the model predicted increase of blood pressure after successful intervention of the stenosis Comparing the diameter estimated by conventional pre-procedural measurements techniques {i.e. visual inspection (”eye-balling”), Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CE-MRA), High Spatial Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (HR-MRI), standard angiography and angiography images analyzed by 3 dimensional Quantitative Vascular Analysis (QVA 3D) software (Pie Medical Imaging, Maastricht, The Netherlands) } with the gold standard (IVUS). | — |
