Study summary

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the 6-month safety and performance outcome of the non-compliant high pressure JADE balloon for the treatment of infrainguinal stenotic occlusive or stenotic TASC C \& D lesions in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia.

Read the detailed description

Pulsatile straight line blood flow to the foot is required to aid wound healing in the setting of chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI). Patients with CLTI usually present with infra-popliteal arterial occlusions and endovascular therapies to restore blood flow are often preferred considering their inherently less invasive nature and because of multiple patient background comorbidities or absence of a suitable vein conduit in these patients. Below The Knee (BTK) plain balloon angioplasty (POBA) remains the only viable "standard of care" in the management of long "Real World" BTK Lesions. However tibial angioplasty is plagued by high rate of re-occlusion/stenosis because of barotrauma caused by the intra-arterial ballooning and subsequent development of neointimal hyperplasia. Devices coated with paclitaxel have been used successfully to limit restenosis by inhibiting the biologic pathway that leads to intimal hyperplasia. However, a recent formal systematic review and study-level meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating treatment of the infra-popliteal arteries with paclitaxel-coated balloons compared with conventional balloon angioplasty for critical limb ischemia (CLI) was recently published showing amputation-free survival was significantly worse in use of paclitaxel coated balloons compared to plain angioplasty. Furthermore current poor patency seen in BTK angioplasty is likely contributed in part by small vessel size and poor luminal gain after standard semi-compliant POBA. Vessel Preparation and Optimising POBA with High Pressure, Non-Compliant balloons may help achieve Luminal Gain for rapid and sustained flow for wound healing. The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the 6-month safety and performance outcome of the non-compliant high pressure JADE balloon for the treatment of infrainguinal stenotic occlusive or stenotic TASC C \& D lesions in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia.

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:

  2. The target lesion is located within the native SFA/popliteal/tibial artery
  3. The length of the target lesion(s) is > 100mm and considered as TASC C or D lesion according to the TASC II classification.

These inflow lesions must be treated first prior to consideration of treatment of the distal lying lesions. The patient can be enrolled if the inflow lesions are treated with good embolization)
  9. There is angiographic evidence of at least one- vessel-runoff through the ankle and into the foot, irrespective of whether or not outflow was re- established by means of previous endovascular intervention

  8. Patients with a history of major disabling stroke within 3 months prior index procedure.
  9. Patients with any type of previous or planned surgical or interventional procedure within 15 days prior- and/or within 30 days post-index procedure.
  10. Untreatable lesion located at the distal outflow arteries
