• Amplitude Vascular Systems (AVS) has enrolled the first patient in the POWER PAD II trial, evaluating the Pulse IVL system for calcified peripheral arterial disease.
• The POWER PAD II study, which received FDA IDE approval in June 2024, aims to enroll up to 120 patients across 20 U.S. facilities over six months.
• The Pulse IVL system is designed for easy delivery across complex calcified lesions, potentially reducing procedural costs and improving patient outcomes.
• The trial's results could pave the way for a new treatment option using intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) therapy for patients with severely calcified arterial disease.
