Elutax-SV Drug-eluting Balloons for Below-the-knee Treatment

Completed
Conditions
Critical Limb Ischemia
Peripheral Artery Disease
Interventions
Device: Angioplasty Paclitaxel-eluted balloon catheter ELUTAX SV
Registration Number
NCT02539940
Lead Sponsor
Jena University Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the outcomes and safety of the Paclitaxel-eluted balloon catheter ELUTAX SV for treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in below-the-knee vessels

Detailed Description

The management of critical limb ischemia due to below-the-knee disease remains challenging due to the frequent patient comorbidities, diffuse vascular involvement, limb preservation, and high rates of restenosis and disease progression. This study will record the use of ELUTAX SV-DEB under real life conditions in a representative sample.The investigators will generate new data in observing the outcome and the safety of the Elutax SV drug-eluting balloons for change in Rutherford clinical category from baseline to 6 and 12 month follow-up visits.
