Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To observe early safety and performance of the Shockwave Medical Lithoplasty® System (specifically, Lithoplasty® Catheters: 2.5 x 60mm, 2.75 x 60mm, 3.0 x 60mm, 3.25 x 60mm, and 3.5 x 60mm) in subjects to demonstrate that the Shockwave device can safely and effectively deliver localized pulsatile mechanical energy for balloon dilation of calcified, stenotic, infrapopliteal arteries.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Shockwave Medical, Inc. intends to conduct a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, clinical study designed to evaluate the early safety and performance of the Shockwave Lithoplasty® System in subjects with moderate to heavily calcified peripheral arteries with 2.5mm to 3.5mm reference vessel diameter at the target site. The Shockwave Lithoplasty® System is indicated for lithotripsy-enhanced, low-pressure balloon dilation of calcified, stenotic peripheral arteries in patients who are candidates for percutaneous therapy. Up to twenty subjects will be enrolled and treated with Lithoplasty® System.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lithoplasty Treatment

Patients in this group will receive treatment with the Shockwave Lithoplasty® System which uses lithotripsy-enhanced, low-pressure balloon dilation of calcified stenotic peripheral arteries.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Shockwave Lithoplasty® System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Shockwave Lithoplasty® System is a proprietary lithotripsy-enhanced balloon catheter that is designed to be delivered through the peripheral arterial system of the lower extremities to the site of calcified stenosis. Activating the lithotripsy within the device will generate pulsatile mechanical energy within the target treatment site, disrupt calcium within the lesion and allow subsequent dilation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. The system consists of a balloon catheter with multiple integrated lithotripsy electrodes, and a generator.
