Study information

Study designThe study is an interventional, prospective, multicentre, randomised, controlled non-inferiority trial of V12 covered stent versus bare stent.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleCOvered Balloon Expandable Stent Trial
Study acronymCOBEST
Study objectivesDoes covered stent in aortoiliac occlusive disease have the same patency or even better patency rate than bared stent?
Ethics approval(s)Ethical approval received from the following hospitals:
1. Royal Perth Hospital (Australia)
2. St Vincent’s Public Hospital (Australia)

The following hospitals are pending ethical approval for participation in the COBEST trial:
St Vincent’s Private Hospital (Australia)
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (Australia)
Hollywood Private Hospital (Australia)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedIliac artery occlusive disease
InterventionV12 covered stent versus bare stents.

Runoff vessels:
The superficial and deep femoral arteries are the runoff vessels for iliac artery procedures, and the tibial arteries are the runoff vessels for femoral or popliteal procedures. The scoring system below will be used:
1. Two points will be given to a widely patent Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) or Profunda femoris (2)
2. One point for a diseased but patent vessel (SFA or profunda femoris) (1)
3. No points for an occluded vessel (SFA or profunda femoris) (0)
Thus giving a range from zero to four, where four represents an excellent run-off.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureComparison, between the two treatment groups (V12 covered stent versus bare stents) of:
1. Primary patency
2. Assisted primary patency
Secondary outcome measuresSecondary objectives:
1. Any amputation above the ankle
2. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) changes from baseline
Overall study start date20/02/2006
Completion date30/08/2007
