Original Source: Balloon Angioplasty Versus Xpert Stent in CLI Patients XXS Study
This study is an investigator-initiated study. The study will be performed as a prospective, randomized, controlled multi-center trial to evaluate the safety and efficiency of Xpert stents compared to PTA in patients with chronic distal artery occlusions or stenosis undergoing catheter revascularization. Patients will be eligible for randomization if they are over 18 years old, if they undergo percutaneous catheter revascularization of an artery below the knee stenosis/occlusio...
