Cook Medical Study of Tibiopedal Access for Crossing of Infrainguinal Artery Occlusions Exceeds 50 Percent Enrollment
2/5/2013 11:03:29 AM
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With more than 100 patients enrolled, Cook Medical has exceeded 50 percent enrollment in the Tibiopedal Access for Crossing of Infrainguinal Artery Occlusions trial. The first-of-its-kind, prospective, multicenter study is evaluating the retrograde tibiopedal vascular access technique for treating critical limb ischemia (CLI), a manifestation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). According to trial’s global principal investigator, Craig Walker, M.D., the founder, president and medical director of the Cardiovascular Institute of the South in Louisiana, up to 200 patients with totally occluded lower-limb arteries will be enrolled in the study. Physicians will assess the technical success rates of the new procedure both for gaining vascular access via the foot and for crossing the lesion. Patient follow-up will consist of a telephone interview approximately 30 days after the procedure.
