Abstract
The SUPERB trial is a multicenter randomized trial that was designed to prove the concept of endoluminal bypass with the heparin-bonded Gore Viabahn self-expanding endoprosthesis in comparison with the gold standard, the venous femoropopliteal bypass, based on the non-inferiority principle for primary patency. Besides equal patency, an improved quality of life is expected at 30 days. Recruitment was performed from November 2010 to June 2015 and patients will be followed over 5 years. Patients with an indication for surgical bypass, classified category 3-6 with a >50% stenosis or occlusion of the superficial femoral artery ≥10 cm in length, were included. At least one crural artery should be patent without significant lesions.
