ONGOING PROJECTS
The RCPAD network has now been active for one year. This is an update of what our group and those who supported us have achieved during this time.
During the last year a total of 27 hospitals have taken part in RCPAD projects and data regarding more than 5,000 patients have been collected.

SAVE-CFA Trial
The SAVE-CFA study aims to evaluate patency rates in CFA lesions comparing the efficacy and safety of stent-avoiding (SA) strategy and stent-preferred (SP) strategy after lesion preparation with IVL.
In addition, outcomes including improvement in terms of Rutherford category, target lesion revascularization, minor and major amputation will be systematically analyzed in all patients.
​
The PACCS Registry
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of the two different endovascular techniques of IVL versus atherectomy in patients who are referred to endovascular revascularization due to chronic symptomatic PAD.
​
Safety (perforation, dissection, distal embolization) measure as well as limb outcomes (see below) will be systematically analyzed.
​
Matching with be performed based on lesion complexity by lesion length and calcification (PACSS).
Other lesion preparation techniques such as specialty balloons and standard balloon angioplasty will also be registered and will deem as part of this registry for secondary measures (safety and effectiveness of POBA versus advanced lesion preparation tools, such as atherectomy, IVL and specialty ballons).

The ROSE-PAD trial
The aim of this study is to analyse the safety and efficacy of invasive therapies in nonagenarians undergoing revascularization for symptomatic lower limb atherosclerosis.
​
VPAD study: Vessel preparation consensus
This is a qualitative global project, trying to understand issues surrounding vessel preparation technologies in PAD. This is called “the VPAD study” and will help understand issues surrounding use of vessel preparation, as well as support future research (especially randomised trials).

The ARISTON Trial
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of the endovascular and surgical revascularization techniques for the treatment of consecutive patients with CFA lesions within a real-world registry. Patients will be included with claudication or rest pain due CFA stenosis or occlusion.
​
In addition, outcomes including improvement in terms of Rutherford category, target lesion revascularization, will be systematically analyzed in all patients.
​
ALIVE (Acute Limb Ischemia Vascular Outcomes Evaluation)
The ALIVE Project lead aims to investigate outcomes after surgical, hybrid and endovascular treatment of ALI focusing on long-term efficacy of the various endovascular thrombectomy devices and lysis in the modern setting.
