Peripheral Artery Disease

Brief summary

The Pathway PV Atherectomy System is a rotating, aspirating, expandable catheter for active removal of atherosclerotic debris and thrombus in peripheral vasculature. This is a prospective, single arm, multi-center study to obtain safety and performance data for the Pathway PV Atherectomy System when used as a primary or adjunctive therapy for percutaneous intervention to remove atherosclerotic disease, debris, and thrombus from the lower limb peripheral vasculature.

Inclusion criteria

* Documented symptomatic atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease * Target lesion(s) is/are located in a superficial femoral, popliteal and/or infrapopliteal arteries * The patient has been informed of the nature of the study and has provided informed consent * The patient agrees and has capability to meet study requirements and be present at the follow-up clinic visits

Exclusion criteria

* Target lesion is located in the iliac artery. * Target lesion stenosis is \< 70%. * Interventional treatment is intended for in-stent restenosis at the peripheral vascular site. * Patient is unable to participate for the duration of the study. * Patient is currently participating or has participated in a study with another investigational medical device or medication.

Major Adverse Events (MAEs) Within 30 Days30 daysMajor adverse events (MAEs) are any death, target vessel revascularization (TVR), target lesion revascularization (TLR), myocardial infarction (MI), or amputation of the treated limb that occurred within 30 days of the index procedure.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Average Rutherford Classification Score at 6 Months6 monthsRutherford Classification measures lower limb peripheral arterial disease (PAD) by evaluating and rating symptoms. Score: 0 (no symptoms or discomfort in leg) to 6 (Tissue loss or gangrene in leg)
Average Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) at 6 Months6 monthsAnkle Brachial Index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure in the lower legs to the blood pressure in the arms. Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg is a symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Range: Normal arteries (1.0 - 1.2) to Severe arterial disease (under 0.5)
Freedom From Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) at 6 Months6 monthsNumber of patients that did not require target lesion revascularization 6 months after index procedure.

Outcome results

Primary

Major Adverse Events (MAEs) Within 30 Days

Major adverse events (MAEs) are any death, target vessel revascularization (TVR), target lesion revascularization (TLR), myocardial infarction (MI), or amputation of the treated limb that occurred within 30 days of the index procedure.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: Number of study participants was statistically determined by protocol-defined endpoints. Analysis endpoints were assessed via summary statistics and 95% confidence intervals. No p-values were generated and no statistical inferences asserted regarding point estimates or confidence limits generated for any additional post-hoc data analysis.
