Plain-language summary
The BARISTA study tests the safety and efficacy of the Restorer stent from the company iVascular. This stent is a medical device that is already approved for use in Europe, to treat stenotic (narrowed) iliac arteries. 200 Belgian patients from 13 different hospitals will be included in this study. Patients will be medically monitored for 2 years from the day of the study procedure. The treatment of the stenotic iliac arteries will be according to the standard of care, using the Restorer stent. This endovascular treatment consists of introducing the necessary materials in the blood vessels by a puncture in the groin under general or local anaesthesia, after which a thin plastic tube will be inserted into the femoral artery through the puncture site, until the stenotic iliac artery is reached. Medical imaging is done by angiography. The stenotic/occluded section of the artery will first be dilated by inserting and inflating a balloon. Next, the Restorer stent will be placed and, if necessary, another balloon may be inserted and inflated to allow the stent to fit nicely to the vessel wall and optimise the result. As per standard of care, follow-up will be done in the hospital after 1, 6, 12, and 24 months. During these visits, an ultrasound scan of the treated artery will be taken to evaluate the patency of the blood vessel. Also, two short questionnaires will be completed asking about the quality of life and walking difficulties. The use of medication will be recorded. If adverse events are experienced, they will be reported.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Males or non-pregnant females ≥ 18 years of age at the time of consent. Females of childbearing potentials have a negative pregnancy test \<7 days before the procedure and are willing to use a reliable method of birth control for the duration of study participation. Female participants will be exempted from this requirement in case they are sterile, infertile or have been post-menopausal for at least 12 months.
2\. Patient (or their legal representative) understands the nature of the procedure and provides written informed consent, prior to enrolment in the study.
3\. Patient presenting with a stenotic or occlusive lesion at the Aorto-iliac arteries suitable for stenting with the Restorer stent (iVascular) (on indication for primary stenting, based on the discretion of the investigator). This lesion is corresponding to the CE-mark indications/contra-indications and according to the current medical guidelines for minimally invasive peripheral interventions.
4\. Estimated life expectancy ≥ 2 years. 5. Patient presenting a score from 2 to 4 following Rutherford classification. 6. Patient is willing to comply with specified follow-up evaluations at the specified times for the duration of the study.
7\. The target lesion has angiographic evidence of stenosis or restenosis \>50% or occlusion which can be passed with standard guidewire manipulation.
8\. There is angiographic evidence of a patent Common and Deep Femoral Artery.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
