Primary study designInterventional
Study design1:1 randomized controlled trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study acronymAbsolute Trial
Study objectivesPrimary stenting with self-expanding nitinol stents may improve patency after endovascular treatment of superficial femoral artery obstructions compared to balloon angioplasty with optional stenting
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical University of Vienna and Vienna General Hospital, reference number: EK 164/2003
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPeripheral artery disease, superficial femoral artery stenosis or occlusion
InterventionGroup 1: primary stenting
Group 2: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) (balloon angioplasty) with optional secondary stenting
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)
