Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with significant below-the-knee artery lesions and a Rutherford classification of 3, 4, or 5.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe renal impairment, acute vessel occlusion, or those who are non-ambulatory may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to gather data on the safety and effectiveness of the Acotec Litos&Tulip Drug-coated Balloon catheters for patients with peripheral artery disease. It is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study focusing on patients with significant stenosis or occlusions in below-the-knee arteries. Participants will receive treatment with the drug-coated balloon catheter and will be monitored for outcomes related to their condition. The study seeks to provide further insights into the performance of this intervention in a real-world setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment options for patients suffering from peripheral artery disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with drug-coated balloons in treating peripheral artery disease, indicating potential for success in this approach.
