Brief Summary

Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI) is defined by one or more arterial digestive lesions, responsible for severe mesenteric symptoms. The clinical presentation of CMI is characterized by postprandial abdominal pain and weight loss, leading to severe malnutrition. It is a frequent pathology which affects preferentially the elderly patients of female sex (70%) with cardio-vascular comorbidities. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

Despite medical and diagnostic advances, the morbidity and mortality of CMI remain very high (\>70%). Optimal management of CMI is based on early diagnosis. Symptomatic patients with CMI should be treated without much delay to relief symptoms (present in 43% patients) and prevent acute mesenteric ischemia.

The three visceral arteries affected by atherosclerotic disease are coeliac trunc, inferior mesenteric artery and Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA). The SMA is treated the most frequently, because it is the main relevant artery associated with CMI.

Endovascular treatment (angioplasty and stenting) is considered as the first-line treatment for CMI when feasible. It is indicated especially in the case of high grade stenosis or occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery. Two types of stents can be used for this procedure: bare metal stents (BMS) or covered stents (CS).

Even if BMS are standard care there is no consensus on the type of stent to use.

There are very few reported series with large numbers of patients comparing BMS and CS in this indication. However, to our knowledge, no results from a randomized study addressing this issue have ever been published. These are only retrospective with a low level of evidence (IIb). The largest series compared 147 patients with primary intervention for CMI treatment using BMS versus 42 using CS. Treatment with CS showed better results in terms of symptom recurrence (10% vs 32%, p \<0.002), restenosis (12% vs 42%, p \<0.0002) and re-interventions (10% vs 42%), after at least 1 year of follow-up. Indeed, endovascular treatment using BMS was associated with high incidence of symptoms recurrence despite the satisfying patency rates in both occluded and stenotic vessels.

There are no international guidelines to recommend the use of one or another sort of stent.

The necessity of a randomised study addressing the issue of bare metal versus covered stents deployment seems to be important.

The investigators propose to demonstrate that covered stents presents a better efficacy than bare metal stents, with a multicenter randomized study involving 24 vascular surgical departments of French University Hospitals.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Freedom from restenosis,24 months after the primary endovascular treatment

Freedom from restenosis will be defined as ≥50% luminal reduction and/or thrombosis, confirmed by CT-scan.

The crude percentage of restenosis and/or thrombosis at 24 months will be computed for each group. The survival curves for freedom from restenosis and/or thrombosis will be plotted according to the Kaplan-Meier method and overall survival rates will be estimated.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Occurrence of endovascular procedure complicationsup to discharge from hospital
Quality of life score12 months after the primary endovascular treatment

quality of life will be compared between the two groups and assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire

Freedom of reintervention (endovascular or surgical)24 months after the primary endovascular treatment
Number of patients with maintained primary, primary assisted and secondary patencies18 months after the primary endovascular treatment
Freedom of symptoms recurrence24 months after the primary endovascular treatment

Clinical recurrence, defined as the symptomatic recurrence of chronic, subacute or acute mesenteric ischemia

Occurrence of major morbidity24 months after the primary endovascular treatment

Occurrence of major morbidity and description of the events

Target lesion revascularisation (TLR)24 months after the primary endovascular treatment

Repeat revascularisation for a lesion anywhere within the primary stent or the 5-mm borders proximal or distal to the stent

Freedom from restenosis12 months after the primary endovascular treatment

The freedom from restenosis will be defined as ≥50% luminal reduction and/or thrombosis, confirmed by CT-scan.

The crude percentage of restenosis and/or thrombosis at 12 months will be computed for each group. The survival curves for freedom from restenosis and/or thrombosis will be plotted according to the Kaplan-Meier method and overall survival rates will be estimated.
