7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the FastWire System. It is intended to assess that the FastWire System can facilitate the intra-luminal placement of conventional guidewires or treatment devices beyond peripheral artery chronic total occlusions (CTOs)
Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open label, clinical study intended to provide data to demonstrate safety and performance of the SoundBite Crossing System XS Peripheral.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ReFlow Medical Wingman Catheter used to cross de novo or restenotic infrainguinal CTOs that cannot be crossed with a standard guidewire.
This study is aimed at demonstrating the efficacy and safety of the SoundBite™ Crossing System-Peripheral. The study is intended to demonstrate that the SoundBite™ Crossing System can facilitate the passage of either devices intended to treat a chronic total occlusion (CTO) or additional crossing devices through an infrainguinal CTO into the true lumen.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the CROSSER CTO Recanalization System can facilitate the successful crossing of Chronic Total Occlusions in the Central lumen of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA). A Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) is defined as 100% narrowing of the artery, with no angiographically detectable antegrade blood flow, and the assessment that the lesion has been in existence for a minimum of 30 days. This study will enroll up to 100 patients at up to 8 clinical sites. The CROSSER CTO Recanalization System was cleared for commercialization by the US Food \& Drug Administration. This study also involves an imaging device called the IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging) catheter. This device has been cleared for commercialization by the US Food and Drug Administration and will be studied for its cleared intended use. The IVUS catheter is used to generate real-time images of the artery, which will allow for evaluation of the artery after the occlusion is crossed. This is a post-market registry.
The superficial femoral artery (SFA) is frequently involved in atherosclerosis and is the most common target of lower extremity endovascular procedures performed in patients with claudication. Endovascular treatment of SFA is challenging, given its exceptional predisposition to atherosclerosis and its exposure to extreme mechanical forces of extension, compression, torsion and flexion. The SFA is located in a fibro-muscular canal, follows a tortuous course and is considered a 'hostile' location for endovascular procedures, especially stents due to the risk of stent fracture. On the other hand, durability of balloon angioplasty in the SFA is dismal (25% patency at 1 year). Therefore, Nitinol (a metal alloy of nickel and titanium) stent implantation is the mainstay of endovascular SFA interventions when balloon angioplasty (PTA) leads to sub-optimal results during a procedure. It is used in over 70% of all cases and in nearly 100% of all femoro-popliteal (FP) CTO (chronic total occlusions) and long (≥60 mm) interventions. Endovascular treatment of SFA is challenging and restenosis is the most common cause for the lack of durability of a SFA peripheral vascular interventional procedure.5 Restenosis rates of SFA bare metal (nitinol) stents or BMS at 1 year exceeds 50% for lesions ≥60 mm in length or CTO. Stent based treatment of the SFA may not offer any additional advantage for short non-CTO (\<60 mm) lesions compared to PTA. In a recent study, primarily comparing drug-eluting stents (DES) to balloon angioplasty in the SFA, 12 month patency rates were 83.1% and 32.8%, respectively for DES and balloon angioplasty arms. However, there are no head-to head studies randomized studies comparing DES and BMS in the SFA. Thus, endovascular SFA intervention in patients with symptomatic PAD is an area of urgent need for high-quality evidence as volume of these procedures continues to rise exponentially in the U.S. and around the world, largely on the basis of insufficient evidence.Thus, the purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized pilot trial comparing DES and BMS for percutaneous revascularization of SFA.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an excimer laser in the treatment of patients with lower extremity vascular disease with chronic total occlusions.
