Safety and Feasibility of the Shockwave Lithoplasty® System for the Treatment of Peripheral Vascular Stenosis (BTK)

To observe early safety and performance of the Shockwave Medical Lithoplasty® System (specifically, Lithoplasty® Catheters: 2.5 x 60mm, 2.75 x 60mm, 3.0 x 60mm, 3.25 x 60mm, and 3.5 x 60mm) in subjects to demonstrate that the Shockwave device can safely and effectively deliver localized pulsatile mechanical energy for balloon dilation of calcified, stenotic, infrapopliteal arteries.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Peripheral Arterial Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Shockwave Lithoplasty® System

Detailed Description

Shockwave Medical, Inc. intends to conduct a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, clinical study designed to evaluate the early safety and performance of the Shockwave Lithoplasty® System in subjects with moderate to heavily calcified peripheral arteries with 2.5mm to 3.5mm reference vessel diameter at the target site. The Shockwave Lithoplasty® System is indicated for lithotripsy-enhanced, low-pressure balloon dilation of calcified, stenotic peripheral arteries in patients who are candidates for percutaneous therapy. Up to twenty subjects will be enrolled and treated with Lithoplasty® System.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Lithoplasty Treatment; Patients in this group will receive treatment with the Shockwave Lithoplasty® System which uses lithotripsy-enhanced, low-pressure balloon dilation of calcified stenotic peripheral arteries.

Device: Shockwave Lithoplasty® System; The Shockwave Lithoplasty® System is a proprietary lithotripsy-enhanced balloon catheter that is designed to be delivered through the peripheral arterial system of the lower extremities to the site of calcified stenosis. Activating the lithotripsy within the device will generate pulsatile mechanical energy within the target treatment site, disrupt calcium within the lesion and allow subsequent dilation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. The system consists of a balloon catheter with multiple integrated lithotripsy electrodes, and a generator.
