Percutaneous Deep Vein Arterialization Post-Market Study

The objective of this post-market study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LimFlow System in creating a below-the-knee arterio-venous fistula for venous arterialization in subjects with critical limb ischemia.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of the LimFlow System for creating an arterio-venous fistula in the below-the-knee vascular system using an endovascular, minimally invasive approach for the treatment of critical limb ischemia in subjects ineligible for conventional endovascular or surgical limb salvage procedures.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years to 95 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject must be > 21 and < 95 years of age
  • Clinical diagnosis of symptomatic critical limb ischemia, defined as Rutherford category 5 or 6
  • Assessment that no conventional surgical or endovascular treatment is possible
  • Proximally, the target in-flow artery at the cross-over point must be treatable with a 3.5 - 4.0 mm stent after pre-treatment (by visual estimate), and be <50% stenosed
  • Subject is willing and has adequate support to comply with protocol requirements, including medication regimen and follow-up visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concomitant hepatic insufficiency, deep venous thrombus in target limb, uncorrected coagulation disorders, or current immunodeficiency disorder
  • Prior vein stripping surgery and/or vessel harvesting for CABG in the limb intended for study
  • Life expectancy less than 12 months
  • Patient currently taking coumarin/warfarin which, in the opinion of the attending physician, interferes with the patient's treatment
  • Any significant medical condition which, in the attending physician's opinion, may interfere with the patient's optimal treatment
  • Patient currently participating in another investigational drug or device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the endpoints of this treatment
  • Patient unable to give consent
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Documented myocardial infarction or stroke within previous 90 days
  • Patients suffering from renal insufficiency (GFR value less than 30 ml/min/1.73 m²) who are not on hemodialysis
  • Patients with vasculitis and/or untreated popliteal aneurysms
  • Patients with acute limb ischemia
  • Prior peripheral arterial bypass procedure above or below the knee which could inhibit proximal inflow to the stent graft
  • Lower extremity venous disease with significant edema in the target limb that may inhibit the procedure and/or jeopardize wound healing, in the investigator's opinion
  • Known or suspected systemic or severe infection (e.g., WIfI foot Infection grade of 3)
  • Known or suspected allergies or contraindications to stainless steel, nickel, or contrast agent that cannot be adequately pre-treated, or patients who cannot receive anticoagulation or antiplatelet aggregation therapy
  • Severe heart failure, which in the opinion of the investigator may compromise subject's ability to safely undergo a percutaneous procedure (e.g., known ejection fraction of < 40%, NYHA Classification III-IV)
