A Comparison of Coated and Uncoated Stents in Renal Artery Treatment. — GREAT  

Renal Artery Stenosis Clinical Trial

Official title: Palmaz Genesis Peripheral Stainless Steel Balloon Expandable Stent, Comparing a Sirolimus Coated Versus an Uncoated Stent in REnal Artery Treatment.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and performance of the Palmaz Genesis™ balloon expandable stent, with or without sirolimus coating in the treatment of renal artery stenosis, measured at 6 months follow up via angiography.

Clinical Trial Description

Multi-center, prospective, controlled, non-randomized investigational feasibility study. One hundred (100) patients with de novo or restenotic renal artery lesions consisting of >= 50% stenosis and reference vessel of >= 4.0 to <= 8.0 mm in diameter will be sequentially included, 50 without sirolimus coating, followed by 50 with sirolimus coating Palmaz GenesisTM. Patients will be followed for 24 months post-procedure, with all patients having clinical assessments at discharge, 1,6, 12 and 24 months. This study will be conducted at twelve investigational sites.

It is anticipated that the total length of time required to complete the study will be 46 months. ;
