Massive PAD registry aims to settle stent vs Non-Stent debate
NCT ID NCT01904851
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a large registry of 14,000 people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to compare the long-term results of treatments that use stents versus those that do not. Researchers will track outcomes like repeat procedures, amputations, and walking ability over 12 months. The goal is to learn which approach works better in real-world practice.
