The Biomimetic Stent and Vascular Functions Study

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Interventions
Device: Bio-MIMICS 3D Stent
Device: Innova Stent
Registration Number
NCT05447052
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Essen
Brief Summary

The aim of this IIT is to determine the potential improvement and impact of the BioMimics 3D Stent System in the SFA on local vascular function.

Detailed Description

The MIMICS FLOW Study is a single-center, single-blind, investigator-initiated, randomized parallel group trial.

The impact of a novel biomimetical stent with a helical curvature provides superior hemodynamic and biomechanical performance and advantages. Additionally, it promotes swirling blood flow, elevating wall sheer strength, which is patency-protective and might impact on vascular functions due to completely different vascular properties through altered blood flow.

The influence of the novel devices and stent-platforms with improved hemodynamic capabilities with respect to vasomotor of the vessel wall, vascular function and vascular compliance can be measured by FMD, arterial stiffness indices and vascular strain analysis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Changes in cardiovascular function measured by augmentation index in %

Changes in pulse wave velocityBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months

Changes in cardiovascular function measured by pulse wave velocity in m/s

Changes in vascular strainBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months

Changes in cardiovascular function measured by vascular strain in %

Changes in clinical symptomsBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months

Clinical symptoms of patients determined by Walking impairment questionaire (WIQ)

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse eventsBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by SDWS

Changes of inflammatory profile measured by hs-CRP in mg/dlBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months

Blood samples are collected at the below mentioned time points

Primary patency (PP) of target lesionBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months

Primary patency determined by PVR measurement with ultrasound

Freedom from Target Lesion RevascularizationBaseline, followed at 1 and 12 months
