In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The planned study is a Randomized Controlled Monocentric Trial, which will provide evidence on whether early angiography in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) readiness ("immediate" treatment, within 48h) has advantages over the "standard of care", i.e., an elective procedure ("elective PTA") for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). The primary study endpoint is to investigate the impact of the "early PTA" within 48 hours on wound-healing assessed by wound area changes after PTA using a 3D-camera with artificial intelligence (AI)-based wound-analysis-system. The secondary endpoint is the effect of early PTA on the combined occurrence of major adverse limb (MALE) and cardiac events (MACE) over 12 months post-angioplasty using time-to-event analysis. Data will be collected at baseline, 24 hours, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months after PTA. Diabetic kidney disease, distal symmetric
