Detailed Description

Up to 60 subjects at up to 10 sites in Japan will be enrolled in the femoropopliteal clinical study with moderate and severely calcified femoropopliteal artery disease presenting with Rutherford Category 2 - 5 of the target limb.

Two additional cohorts [Iliac and BTK (Below-the-Knee)] will enroll a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 subjects each with moderate and severely calcified iliac disease with a Rutherford Category (RC) 2 - 5 and a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 subjects with moderate and severely calcified BTK lesions with a Rutherford Category (RC) 2 - 5 will be enrolled and followed through 12 months.

The estimated study duration for these cohorts is approximately 24 months. Study subjects will be followed through discharge, 30 days, 6, and 12 months.

Experimental: Femoropopliteal Artery

Up to 60 subjects with moderate or severely calcified femoropopliteal artery disease at up to 10 sites in Japan will be enrolled in the femoropopliteal clinical study. Destination therapy may include DCB or Stent based on post IVL assessment.

In addition, a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 subjects with moderately or severely calcified iliac artery disease and a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 subjects with moderately or severely calcified BTK artery disease will also be enrolled to assess the safety and effectiveness of IVL in these two cohorts.

For the Disrupt PAD Japan study, the Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System (SWM-831) is intended for lithotripsy enhanced balloon dilatation of lesions, including calcified lesions, in the peripheral vasculature, including the femoropopliteal arteries.
