Study summary

The POWER-PAD-1 Study is a first-in-human evaluation of the safety and performance of the Pulse Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Balloon Catheter to enroll up to twenty (20) subjects.

Read the detailed description

Amplitude Vascular System intendeds to conduct a first-in-human evaluation of the safety and performance of the Pulse Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Balloon Catheter in subjects with stenotic lesions of the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries (Rutherford Category 2 to 4 of the target limb) with a reference vessel diameter (RVD) of 4mm to 6mm and a total length of \<60mm. Up to twenty subjects will be enrolled and treated with the Pulse IVL lithotripsy and followed for 6 months. The Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy Catheter is intended for the pulsatile lithotripsy-enhanced balloon dilation of lesions, including calcified and fibro-calcific lesions in the peripheral vasculature, such as the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries.

  11. Subject has significant stenosis (>50% stenosis) or occlusion of inflow tract (upstream disease) not successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or percutaneous stent.
  12. Deep heel ulcers or any evidence of osteomyelitis.
  13. Subject requires treatment of a peripheral lesion on the ipsilateral limb distal to the target lesion(s) at the time of the enrollment / index procedure.
  14. Subject has a known coagulopathy or has a bleeding diathesis, thrombocytopenia with platelet counts \<100,000/microliter, or international normalized ratio >1.5.
  15. Subject in whom antiplatelet, anticoagulant, or thrombolytic therapy is contraindicated.
  16. Subject has known allergy to contrast agents or medications used to perform endovascular intervention that cannot be adequately pre-treated.
