Brief summary

CALCIO is a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study that will collect real world data on the use of intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) with the Shockwave IVL system to disrupt calcified femoropopliteal and crural lesions in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The primary objective of CALCIO is to understand the effectiveness of IVL in promoting wound healing and preventing amputation. The secondary objectives of CALCIO are to evaluate the immediate effectiveness of the treatment in restoring vessel patency as well as its safety and impact on patients' quality of life.

Interventions

DEVICEShockwave Medical IVL System

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Wound healing and freedom from amputation12 monthsComposite of wound healing defined as the healing status of the dominant ischemic wound of the target limb (complete, partial, unchanged, worsening) and freedom from amputation defined as the absence of any amputation of the treated limb: minor (digital, metatarsal), major below the knee or major above the knee (excluding any amputation planned before the IVL procedure).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Wound healing24 monthsHealing status of the dominant ischemic wound of the target limb (complete, partial, unchanged, worsening)
Freedom from amputation24 monthsAbsence of any amputation of the treated limb: minor (digital, metatarsal), major below the knee or major above the knee (excluding any amputation planned before the IVL procedure).
Amputation-free survivalthrough study completion, approximately 2 yearstime between IVL treatment and amputation of the target limb, minor (digital, metatarsal), major below the knee or major above the knee (excluding any amputation planned before the IVL procedure)
Change in Rutherford classification category12 and 24 monthsSeven classification categories, from 0 (asymptomatic) to 6 (Major tissue loss)
Change in foot ischemia12 and 24 monthsChange in ankle-brachial index or toe pressure, depending on which data is available
Change in WIfi score12 and 24 monthsThree-digit score for comprehensive assessment of wound, ischemia and foot infection
Freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR)12 and 24 monthsfreedom from any endovascular re-intervention to the target lesion (± 10 mm) or surgical bypass performed because of restenosis or occlusion of the target lesion.
CD-TLR-free survivalthrough study completion, approximately 2 yearstime between IVL treatment and any endovascular re-intervention to the target lesion (± 10 mm)
Primary patency rate12 and 24 monthsfreedom from total occlusion without any endovascular or surgical re-intervention to the target lesion (± 10 mm)
Assisted primary patency rate12 and 24 monthsfreedom from total occlusion following additional endovascular or surgical intervention(s) due to restenosis of the target lesion
Secondary patency rate12 and 24 monthsfreedom from total occlusion following additional endovascular or surgical intervention(s) due to occlusion of the target lesion
Technical success of IVLon the day of the procedureresidual diameter stenosis ≤30% after IVL and before any potential adjunctive intervention
