Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This proof-of-concept study aims to prove the safety and feasibility of CFR and IMR measurements in the crural vessels. Safety is defined as conducting the measurement without complications caused by the device or medication used during the measurements. Feasibility is defined as successfully completing the CFR and IMR measurements during the procedure. The hypothesis is that CFR and IMR measurements are safe and feasible to use in the crural vessels in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia of the lower extremities. | — |

| Secondary to assessing safety and feasibility, this study aims to provide information on the effect of FFR, CFR and IMR on perioperative decision-making regarding surgical endpoint, compared to decisions made solely based on the DSA. Post-procedure, the surgeon will be asked to assess and interpret the additional measurements and decide if they would have made different decisions regarding the procedure. Additionally, the ABI and toe pressures as well as the maximal systolic acceleration of the crural arteries will be measured the day after the procedure to assess changes in blood flow and see if there is improvement shortly after the procedure. This will be compared to clinical outcomes at the postoperative outpatient clinic consultation.Since FFR, CFR and IMR should provide information on macrovascular versus microvascular disease, the values might be able to predict clinical outcomes in terms of wound healing or resolution of rest pain, as well as the risk of reintervention. This will be evaluated at the post-operative outpatient clinic consultation 6 weeks, 6 months and 1 year after the procedure. | — |
