Infrared Thermal Imaging in Evaluating the Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty for Peripheral Artery Disease
China50 participantsStarted 2023-03-01
Plain-language summary
Determination of IRTI (infrared thermal imaging) can be used to evaluate PAD patients with critical limb ischemia with different degrees of lesion.
IRTI can be used to evaluate the foot blood perfusion after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) treatment and determine the success rate of surgery.
IRTI can be used as an effective follow-up tool for patients after surgery.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients with Rutherford grade 3, 4, 5, or 6.
* Patients with indications for lower extremity arterial PTA: severe intermittent claudication, rest pain, ulceration or gangrene.
* Patients who required PTA of only one limb (left versus right).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with body temperature above 37 ° C.
* Patients with indications for open surgery.
* Patients requiring major amputation (above the ankle).
* Patients with acute occlusive or embolic limb ischemia.
* Patients with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity.
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?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
To determine the validity and reliability of IRTI in assessing foot blood perfusion and surgical success rate after PTA treatment.
