Brief Summary:
This is a multi-center prospective, randomized, two-arm study evaluating performance of the Cordis SMART™ Nitinol Stent System compared to balloon angioplasty. Patients will be randomized on a 1:1 basis. It is anticipated that a total of 120 patients will be entered into the study.
Objective of the study is: Performance of the Cordis S.M.A.R.T.™ (CONTROL™) Nitinol Stent System for the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) long de novo or restenotic lesions (≥ 70% stenosis or occlusions) in comparison with balloon angioplasty as determined by Binary Restenosis (≥50% restenosis based on a peak systolic velocity ratio ≥ 2.5) at one year as demonstrated by Duplex sonography.
Detailed Description:
The study population will consist of 120 symptomatic peripheral vascular disease patients with SFA occlusions. The disease will consist of symptomatic, de novo or restenotic occlusions (5 - 22 cm) on diagnostic imaging. The occlusions must not extend beyond the proximal popliteal artery. For the purpose of this protocol, no lesion within 3 cm of the upper part of the patella may be treated. At least one calf vessel must be patent. Reference vessel diameter must be \>= 4.0 to \<= 6.0 mm.
Trial participants who meet all entry criteria, will be randomized to the SMART™ Nitinol Stent or balloon angioplasty.
Patients will be followed for 12 months after the procedure. Study examinations will be done at screening, procedure time, discharge, 1, 6 and 12 months after the study procedure.
This study will be conducted as an investigator initiated multicenter study with 6 study centers in Switzerland. Principal investigators will be Prof. Amann, PD Dr. med T. Pfammatter (University Hospital Zürich) and Prof. I. Baumgartner, Prof. J. Triller (University Hospital Bern).
