简要总结
The purpose of this clinical study is to learn if the FastWave Artero™ Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System is safe and works well to help people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who have hard, calcium-filled blockages in their leg arteries.
The study will test the idea that using sound waves inside the artery can safely break up calcium and make it easier to open the artery so blood can flow better.
The main question this study is trying to answer is:
Can treatment with the FastWave Artero™ IVL System safely widen blocked leg arteries and lower the chance of serious problems during or after the procedure?
About 110 adults at up to 30 medical centers in the United States will take part. Everyone in the study will receive the IVL treatment.
During the study, participants will:
Have a minimally invasive procedure using the FastWave IVL System
Stay for a short observation period after the procedure
Return for follow-up visits about 30 days and 6 months later
Researchers will look at how well the arteries open, how long they stay open, and whether any major complications occur. The results will help determine if the FastWave Artero™ IVL System can be used as a safe and effective treatment for people with PAD and severe calcium buildup in the leg arteries.
详细描述
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) happens when plaque and calcium build up inside the arteries of the legs. This buildup narrows the arteries and limits blood flow, which can cause pain, limited mobility, and slow healing of wounds. Treating arteries that contain a large amount of calcium can be difficult because the calcium makes the artery wall stiff and hard to open with standard balloons or stents.
The FastWave Artero™ Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System is designed to improve treatment for people with moderate to severe calcium in their leg arteries. The system includes a generator and a small balloon catheter that emits short bursts of sound energy (lithotripsy). These sound waves gently fracture calcium deposits while protecting the softer tissue of the artery. After the calcium is cracked, the artery can be widened using low balloon pressure, which may help blood flow more easily and lower the risk of tearing or other damage.
This prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FastWave Artero™ IVL System in adults with PAD who have calcified blockages in the femoral or popliteal arteries. The study will enroll up to 110 participants at as many as 30 U.S. investigational sites. All participants will receive the FastWave IVL treatment during a standard minimally invasive endovascular procedure.
The primary safety endpoint is the proportion of participants free from major adverse events (such as serious vessel injury, emergency surgery, or unplanned major amputation) through 30 days after the procedure.
The primary effectiveness endpoint is successful treatment of the blocked artery, defined as less than 50 percent narrowing remaining after IVL, with or without the use of additional devices.
