Brief summary

IVUS imaging will be utilized to assess performance of the Sponsor's Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) followed by adjunctive balloon angioplasty (BA) in patients who have symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurring in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA), Popliteal (POP), and/or Tibioperoneal Trunk (TPT).

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, single-arm (non-randomized), post-market study which will enroll up to 25 subjects. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) imaging and angiography will be used to assess procedural outcomes in patients who have symptomatic peripheral artery disease who are treated with the Sponsor's OAS and adjunctive balloon angioplasty. An independent IVUS Core Lab will be used to provide adjudicated analyses for IVUS outcomes. In clinic follow-up visits will be performed at 2 weeks, 6 months and at 12 months.

RC classification is as follows: RC 0: Asymptomatic, no hemodynamically significant occlusive disease RC 1-3: Mild to Severe Claudication, limitation with ordinary physical activities, patient is comfortable at rest RC 4-5: Ischemic rest pain, minor tissue loss, non healing ulcer, focal gangrene RC 6: Major tissue loss, functional foot no longer salvageable

Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) Measurments

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured at the ankle to that measured at the brachial (upper arm) artery. Normal range of ABI is 0.9 - 1.2. Values less than 0.9 suggests presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Values greater than 1.2 suggests of non-compressible vessel.

Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 6 months and 12 months

Population: At the time of this analysis 3 of the subjects did not have their ABI measured at baseline, 1 participant did not have their ABI measured at 2 weeks, 1 participant did not have their ABI measured at 6 months and 1 participant did not have their ABI measured at 12 months.
