Observational Study: Thermal Imaging for Peripheral Arterial Disease

This study is looking at whether a special camera, called the FLIR One Pro LT, can help doctors understand how well a procedure to improve blood flow in your leg works. This camera measures the temperature of your lower leg before and after you have a revascularization procedure (a procedure to restore blood flow). The study will follow 25 people who have severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which means they have poor blood flow to their legs and feet, causing tissue damage. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 99 years old, have severe PAD with tissue loss, and are planning to have a revascularization procedure in your leg. The main goal is to see if changes in leg temperature, measured by the camera, can predict how successful the revascularization procedure will be.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect information without giving you a specific treatment. It plans to include 25 participants.
What's involved
You would have thermal camera measurements taken before your procedure, immediately after, and then weekly for at least one month, up to six months. Your medical records will also be reviewed.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
You will be followed for up to one year after your revascularization procedure to measure changes in your ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index), which is a measure of blood flow.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Lower extremity peripheral artery disease with tissue loss consistent with Rutherford classification V or VI.
Planned lower extremity endovascular intervention

  • Change in ABIUp to 90 days before revascularization; Up to 1 year after revascularization

    Ankle brachial index will be taken before and after intervention and correlated with thermal readings from FLIR.
