Can frailty predict stent failure? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07672249
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tracks 98 people with peripheral artery disease who had a stent placed in their iliac artery. Researchers want to see which patients later develop serious limb complications, like needing another procedure or amputation. They will also check if frailty plays a role. The goal is to better predict and prevent these outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for complications after iliac stenting, leading to better follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Consecutive adult patients (≥18 years), both male and female, undergoing endovascular stenting for stenotic or occlusive disease of the common and/or external iliac arteries (CIA/EIA) at IRCCS Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio, Milan, between January 2023 and May 2025, will be retrospectively included. Lesions will be classified according to TASC II, with an expected predominance (\~70%) of complex (C-D) lesions.

Inclusion Criteria: Adult patients aged ≥18 years, of both male and female sex * Presence of haemodynamically significant stenosis or occlusion of the common iliac artery (CIA) and/or external iliac artery (EIA), documented by computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, or diagnostic angiography * Symptomatic peripheral artery disease, including lifestyle-limiting intermittent claudication (Rutherford category 2-3) or chronic limb- threatening ischaemia (CLTI; Rutherford category 4-6), refractory to optimal medical therapy * Treatment with endovascular iliac artery stenting (covered or uncovered; balloon-expandable or self-expanding devices) as the primary revascularisation strategy * De novo iliac lesions only * Availability of complet Exclusion Criteria: Primary open surgical revascularisation of the iliac axis (e.g., aorto- bifemoral bypass or endarterectomy). * Previous stenting of the target iliac segment (in-stent restenosis cases excluded). * Aorto-iliac aneurysmal disease as the primary indication for treatment (including EVAR or fenestrated endografts). * Hybrid procedures with concomitant infrainguinal bypass surgery. * Incomplete clinical, procedural, or follow-up data preventing assessment of study endpoints. * Loss to follow-up without documented clinical outcomes.
