A prospective, multicenter, real-world observational study evaluating the impact of tibial runoff on clinical outcomes after endovascular therapy for femoropopliteal lesions: Research protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Current evidence indicates endovascular intervention is a safe and effective treatment for peripheral artery disease of the lower extremity. However, the clinical outcome of endovascular intervention for femoropopliteal lesions has been shown to be affected by the status of tibial runoff. It remains unclear whether endovascular intervention for tibial runoff is associated with additional benefits.

Methods and analysis

This prospective, multicenter, real-world observational study is carried out from January 2021 to December 2022 in 8 designated centers across China with an estimated sample size of 1200 patients with severe femoropopliteal disease. The pre-procedural status of tibial runoff is evaluated with the modified SVS score and categorized as good (SVS <5),
