240 patients to test if SMART stents keep leg arteries open Long-Term
NCT ID NCT07338890
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 240 people who have already received a SMART stent to treat narrowing in their leg arteries (iliac, femoral, or popliteal). Researchers want to see how well the stents work over time and if they prevent major complications like amputation. The goal is to confirm the stents are safe and effective for long-term use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- S.M.A.R.T. nitinol stent system (a mesh tube placed in the artery to keep it open)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that these stents are a safe and effective long-term option for treating blocked leg arteries, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Stents carry risks like re-narrowing or blood clots, and long-term benefits are not guaranteed.

Inclusion Criteria: For data mining purposes, the following criteria will apply in determining which subjects to include in the study: * Subjects treated with SMART 120/150, SMART CONTROL or SMART Flex according to the respective Instructions for Use for treatment in the iliac, superficial femoral and/or proximal popliteal arteries. * If an EC-approved informed consent waiver is not obtained, then documented informed consent from the subject or legal representative granting permission to share the subject's clinical data It is recommended to include subjects with follow-up data available for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of treatment/procedure or until time of death, whichever came first. It is recommended to include subjects with follow-up data available for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of treatment/procedure or until time of death, whichever came first. Subjects not included because follow-up information is unavailable will be documented, wherever possible, with respect to demographics and presenting disease state to determine whether they are similar to subjects with follow-up that are enrolled. Exclusion Criteria: For data mining purposes, the following criteria will apply in determining which subjects to exclude in the study: * Women who were pregnant or lactating at the time of the procedure. * Pediatric subjects (\<18 years of age) at the time of the procedure.
