Official title
ATHERO: Advanced Technology Halting Early Re-Stenosis and Occlusion. A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Silverhawk™ Atherectomy to CryoPlasty® Therapy for Lower Extremity Claudication
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The rise of minimal access surgery has heralded the approval of a number of endovascular devices with similar indications. This is particularly true for the treatment of lower extremity ischemia. Comparable devices are selected for patient use somewhat arbitrarily, often dependent on industry influence. An unmet need is NON-industry sponsored prospective trials COMPARING devices head-to-head so that endovascular surgeons can even contemplate evidence-based device selection. At present, we seek to compare two new high-technology devices that are indicated to treat lower extremity arterial stenoses associated with claudication.
