CAD in sPAD Trial Summary

This trial aims to improve the outcomes of patients with severe peripheral artery disease in the Veteran population by developing a management strategy following lower leg revascularization procedures. The long-term mortality rate for these patients is

Who is the study for?
This trial is for veterans with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) who have undergone surgery or endovascular intervention to restore blood flow in their legs. Participants should be at high risk of cardiovascular issues post-revascularization.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the use of coronary CT angiography combined with FFR-CT, a non-invasive imaging technique, to develop a management strategy aimed at improving cardiovascular outcomes in patients with severe PAD after leg revascularization.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Coronary CT angiography may cause discomfort due to contrast dye, allergic reactions, and exposure to radiation. The side effects are generally mild but can vary based on individual health conditions.
