简要总结
In this prospective, unblinded, single-arm, single-center study, investigators would like to assess the feasibility and safety of the bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting stents in patients with erectile dysfunction and concomitant internal pudendal artery stenoses. A total of 15 bioabsorbable vascular scaffolds (BVSs) are planned to be assessed and will be deployed in the internal pudendal artery, with a 1:1 ratio of both proximal and distal segments.
详细描述
Background: Obstructive pelvic arterial lesions were present in approximately 70-80% of patients aged >50 years and having erectile dysfunction. Previous studies have shown that most arterial stenoses were present in the internal pudendal and common penile artery segments. Investigators have also demonstrated that angioplasty for both internal pudendal and penile arteries is safe and can achieve clinically significant improvement in erectile function in ~60% of patients with erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, in the ZEN study and investigators' preliminary observation, the 6-month angiographic binary restenosis rate for drug-eluting stents (DES) in internal pudendal artery approached 30-50%. The internal pudendal artery requires integral vasomotor function to provide sufficient blood supply during erection, whereas metallic stents impair vasomotor function. A fully bioabsorbable drug-eluting stent that scaffolds the vessel wall when needed and then disappear once the acute recoil and constrictive remodeling processes have subsided is therefore particularly advantageous for the internal pudendal artery. Investigators herein would like to assess the feasibility and safety of the bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting stents in patients with erectile dysfunction and concomitant internal pudendal artery stenoses.
Methods: This prospective, unblinded, single-arm, single-center study is a feasibility trial designed to provide preliminary observations and generate hypotheses for future studies. A total of 15 BVSs are planned to be assessed and will be deployed in the internal pudendal artery, with a 1:1 ratio of both proximal and distal segments. All subjects will undergo pelvic CT angiography at baseline and 6 months after intervention. Invasive selective pudendal angiography will be performed 6-9 months after intervention as well. Intravascular ultrasound and/or optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging will be obtained during invasive angiography. The primary feasibility endpoint is CT angiographic binary restenosis (≥50% lumen diameter stenosis) at 6 months.
