Investigation of the Perfusion of Gluteal Muscle in Patients With Intermittent Gluteal Claudication by Non-invasive MSOT
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The objective of the proposed study is to define independent parameters for the diagnostic assessment of the perfusion situation of the gluteal muscle based on multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) in patients with gluteal claudication in Fontaine stage II (intermittent claudication) pre and post-intervention.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: • Patient with gluteal claudication in Fontaine stage II and corresponding stenosis (common iliac artery, internal iliac artery or distal aorta) Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with PAD in Fontaine stage I, III and IV or Rutherford category 0, 4, 5 and 6 or healthy volunteers with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, claudication symptoms, abnormal ABI or non-palpable foot pulses * People with age under 18 * Absence of written consent * Safety concerns of the study physician (person with physical, mental or psychiatric conditions which, by the judgement of the study physician, would compromise the person's safety or the quality of the data, thereby rendering the person an ineligible candidate for the study
