What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the feasibility of using angiographic Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) to predict the success of endovascular revascularization in patients with superficial artery disease. It will involve 35 patients who require endovascular treatment for short stenosis of the superficial femoral artery. Intraoperative angiography will be conducted before the revascularization, and the angiography images will be analyzed post-procedure using Medis QFR®2.2 software. The goal is to improve the assessment of treatment quality and success rates in this patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are French-speaking patients with symptomatic Rutherford stage 2 to 6 lower limb artery disease requiring endovascular revascularization.

Not a fit: Patients with renal failure, those under court protection, or pregnant/breastfeeding individuals may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the accuracy of predicting successful outcomes for patients undergoing endovascular procedures.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of QFR in other vascular contexts has shown promise, this specific application in lower limb artery disease is relatively novel.
