High Dose Candesartan Versus Quinapril for Restenosis Prophylaxis After Stent Angioplasty

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Arterial Occlusive Diseases
Registration Number
NCT00154050
Lead Sponsor
Technische Universität Dresden
Brief Summary

The study is designed to test the hypothesis that high dose candesartan treatment compared to quinapril is able to reduce intima hyperproliferation and the restenosis rate after stent angioplasty in peripheral occlusive artery disease.

Detailed Description

Patients are randomly assigned to treatment with either candesartan 32 mg/d or Quinapril 20 mg/d before the angioplasty. Walking distance, intima media thickness and crurobrachial pressure ratios are compared after 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. After 6 months an angiographic control is performed.
