Chronic Total Occlusion Crossing With the Wildcat Catheter

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Interventions
Device: Chronic TOtAl OcclusioN CrossiNg with thE WildCat CatheTer
Registration Number
NCT01174784
Lead Sponsor
Avinger, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study of the Wildcat Catheter to cross a single femoropopliteal chronic total occlusion (CTO). Safety and efficacy will be evaluated during the index procedure through 30-day follow-up.

Detailed Description

Patients with a CTO, defined as 99% to 100% stenosis of a peripheral artery, will be approached for enrollment in the study. Following providing informed consent, the CTO will be addressed by the Wildcat catheter, which will provide a route for the advancement of guidewires and other tools beyond the CTO. Data will be collected to assess the safety efficacy of use of the device during the procedure and up to 30 days post-procedure.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CTO Crossing Success Using the WildcatIndex through 30-Day Follow-Up

Successful femoropopliteal CTO crossing using the Wildcat identified by confirmation of guidewire placement in the distal true lumen confirmed by angiography.

Major Adverse EventsIndex through 30-Day Follow-Up

The primary safety endpoint of the CONNECT Study was defined as absence of in-hospital or 30-days Major Adverse Events (MAEs), no evidence of clinically significant perforations, clinically significant embolizations or Grade C or greater dissections after Wildcat CTO crossing confirmed by angiography.
