There is a new clinical research that may be of interest to you. The study is for men and women who have Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). PAD is also known as “hardening of the arteries”. In PAD, the inside of the blood vessel becomes narrow and blood flow is reduced. PAD affects about 12 million people in the US. It can lead to serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, or amputation. Early symptoms of PAD may include cramping, or pain in the legs and heavy or tired legs while exercising or at rest. Only about one third of all people with PAD feel pain. Most people with PAD have no symptoms at all.
Stents are commonly used in blood vessels to improve blood flow. DURABILITY II is a research study that will test the safety and use of a particular stent called the PROTÉGÉâ EverFlexä Stent System (EverFlex Stent) to improve blood flow in the leg and foot compared to balloon angioplasty. All patients who meet the study criteria and who provide informed consent will undergo angioplasty followed by stenting using the EverFlex stent. You will be asked to return for a visit at 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years.
This study may be right for you if you:
· Are an adult with narrowing in a major leg artery
· Are able to attend clinic visits in your area
· Meet other study criteria
