Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main question to be answered is: *Is OCT safe to use in PTA procedures in patients with critical limb ischemia in below the knee arteries in the Zuyderland Medical Center, and what is the effect of OCT on intraoperative decision-making?* | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For the secondary objectives, the following questions will be answered. - What is the difference in millimeters between the measured diameter of the vessel using OCT and the estimation of the surgeon based on DSA? - In what percentage of cases would intraoperative decision making have been altered knowing the OCT measurement in terms of balloon and stent sizing, stent placing and the surgical endpoint? | — |
