Aorto Iliac Occlusive DiseaseNCT07070583
Impact of Aorto-Iliac Occlusive Disease Treatment on Blood Pressure
A study testing Stent placement in people with Aorto Iliac Occlusive Disease and Blood Pressure, run by Rijnstate Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.
Trial summary
Hypertension is a major risk factor for a variety of cardiovascular diseases. When hypertension results from increased vascular resistance due to a narrowing of the descending aorta, it can be effectively treated with stenting. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Impact of Endovascular Treatment of Aorto-iliac Disease on Systemic Hypertension A Pilot Study Impact of Aorto-Iliac Occlusive Disease Treatment on Blood Pressure
Hypertension is a major risk factor for a variety of cardiovascular diseases. When hypertension results from increased vascular resistance due to a narrowing of the descending aorta, it can be effectively treated with stenting. More recently, evidence suggest that stenting in more distal parts of the arterial vascular bed is also associated with a reduction in blood pressure. The investigators hypothesize that stenting of occlusions more distal of the descending aorta decreases the central blood pressure and afterload as reflected by NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide), a biomarker of intracardiac pressures and predictor of heart failure events. The goal of this pilot study is to prospectively investigate changes in blood pressure after stent placement in the aorto-iliac region.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Stent placementProcedure or surgery
Patients with an aorto-iliac occlusion will receive a stent, according to standard care
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Stent placement | Other | Patients with an aorto-iliac occlusion will receive a stent, according to standard care Receives: Procedure: Stent placement |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary objective is to describe the changes in arterial blood pressures between baseline and 12 months follow-up after endovascular treatment of an occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and/or common iliac arteries.
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (3)
To gather information about the association between cardiac biomarkers (hemoglobin, creatinin, NT-pro-BNP) on blood pressure at 12 months in patients with treatment for an occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and/or common iliac arteries.
Measured: 12 months
To determine if treatment of an occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and/or common iliac arteries will change the Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) measurements at 12 months, compared to baseline.
Measured: 12 months
To investigate if treatment of an occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and/or common iliac arteries will decrease or increase the number of anti-hypertensive medication use at 12 months, compared to baseline.
Measured: 12 months
