Cardiac Positioning System in Peripheral Angioplasty Procedure.

Completed
Conditions
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Navigation
Registration Number
NCT03585387
Lead Sponsor
Abbott Medical Devices
Brief Summary

This clinical investigation is intended to evaluate the ability of a magnetic cardiac positioning system to decrease medical radiation exposure on a peripheral angioplasty procedure in patients with a peripheral artery stenosis.

Detailed Description

The present study aims at addressing the fluoroscopy exposure time concern among physicians by proposing a new methodology that capitalizes on the cardiac positioning system (CPS) to reach near-zero fluoroscopy time for interventional cardiologists.

Intracoronary navigation of balloon catheter toward an anatomical landmark will be done with two navigation method:

1. Fluoroscopy alone

2. Fluoroscopy + CPS combination.

The order of the navigation method (method 1 then method 2 or vice versa) will be determine arbitrarily determined for each subject.
