Below-the-Knee Interventions for Limb Salvage: Use of Multifunctional Angioplasty Balloon Catheters ("BTK Multicath Registry") A non-randomized clinical registry This study is designed to obtain preliminary data on clinically relevant procedural variables during percutaneous below-knee artery revascularization procedures among consecutive patients treated with either the Finesse BTK Multicath® ("Finesse") or the standard of care using conventional angioplasty balloon catheters. This registry will enroll participants with a history of chronic limb threatening ischemia and below-knee arterial insufficiency who will be assigned to revascularization with or without use of the Finesse BTK Multicath. The registry is an acute study examining procedural data only. The primary endpoints of interest are the volume of contrast used for the intervention, overall procedure time, radiation dose, number of catheter exchanges during revascularization, and medical device supply costs. For the first phase 12 consecutive patients will be treated with the standard of care. For the second phase 12 consecutive patients will be treated with Finesse. 24 participants total Up to 5 study sites in the United States Initial anticipated enrollment: Q4 2024 Last anticipated enrollment: Q2 2025 Patients \>=18 years old with documented history of unilateral chronic limb threatening ischemia due to below-knee arterial insufficiency with angiographic runoff in the foot and limited arterial insufficiency above the knee 1.

Safety/Major Adverse Peripheral Events On-treatment sample Intention-to-treat
Anterior knee pain has been an enigmatic problem for orthopedic surgeons. Recent studies, as well as the clinical observation of the principle investigator have suggested that arthroscopic resection of the infrapatellar plica (IPP), a vestigial remnant from embryonic development of no known clinical or biological significance, may eliminate this pain. The mechanism whereby this pain is related to the IPP is unclear. This study will document the mechanical behavior of the IPP, its kinematics, as recorded on video among a group of subjects who are undergoing arthroscopy. Radiographic visualization of the observed behavior will be obtained by injection of contrast material, and then fluoroscopic recording of a standard series of motions. The plica will then be resected to avoid any possibility of residual symptoms related to its presence. Further fluoroscopy of the knee without plical attachment, will allow the kinematic behavior to be assessed. The procedure will then be terminated.

This is a Pivotal, Prospective, randomised, two arm, placebo controlled, single-blind, multicentre trial that will be conducted at approximately 70 sites; approx. 40 sites with at least 50% of subjects will be recruited from USA and approx. 30 sites OUS - Singapore, Australia and Japan. Each site will be capped at 30 maximum subjects recruited. The main goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the sirolimus drug coated balloon (DCB) versus standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the treatment of below the knee arterial disease. Eligible subjects will be randomised in a 1:1 allocation ratio and stratified by recruiting countries. Each subject will be randomized to receive either: 1. MagicTouch PTA sirolimus coated balloon catheter (DCB) in addition to standard balloon angioplasty or 2. Placebo balloon angioplasty in addition to standard balloon angioplasty (PTA).

The Auryon Laser Atherectomy System has been cleared by the FDA to treat infrainguinal arterial disease including in-stent restenosis
Lower limb amputation is common in the United States, with approximately 150,000 amputations annually. Most individuals walking with a prosthesis demonstrate asymmetrical loading-i.e., they favor the amputated side by placing more weight and increased ground reaction forces through the intact limb-which likely contributes to increased metabolic cost of walking. Lack of adequate muscular strength in the lower limb to attenuate these forces places increased stress on the joints, which may be displaced proximally, and may play a role in reported knee and hip pain in the intact limb. Lower limb muscle weakness following amputation has been well documented. Increasing quadriceps strength is important after an amputation because it is positively correlated with gait speed. Gait speed may also be associated with successful community mobility, which leads to improved quality of life following amputation. Individuals with amputation who resume an active lifestyle are able to maintain strength. However, these individuals represent a minority of persons with lower limb amputation; most individuals report more barriers than motivators to adopt an active lifestyle. Ischemic conditioning (IC) may strengthen leg muscles and reduce the metabolic cost of activity after amputation. In IC, the limb is exposed to brief, repeated bouts of ischemia (reduced blood flow) immediately followed by reperfusion. IC has been shown to improve muscle performance in healthy and diseased populations. IC has also been used more recently in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) as an intervention to improve function, such as walking ability. Acute exposure to IC increases muscle strength and activation, both in healthy, active individuals and in those with severe neuromuscular dysfunction, such as stroke survivors. IC also attenuates muscular fatigue. Increased fatigue resistance at submaximal contraction levels following IC may be due to increased neural activation of skeletal muscle. Changes in neural activation of muscle may be particularly beneficial during cortical reorganization after amputation. Reduced quadriceps fatigue during submaximal activities may also drive changes in gait kinematics, such as increased knee flexion during loading and mid-stance. Exposure to IC may also increase the oxidative properties of skeletal muscle, offering a direct pathway to reduce metabolic cost. Therefore, IC may lead to cellular changes that lower the metabolic cost of activity. The primary aim of this study is to quantify the benefits of acute and chronic IC on quadriceps strength and walking economy in individuals with PAD and history of lower limb amputation.
The PATHFINDER I Registry is a prospective, non-randomized, single arm, multicenter observational study. It is a pilot registry study towards a subsequent large pivotal phase registry.

The clinical trial is stratified by lesion length. The trial will be conducted in 2 phases, with Phase 1 enrolling patients with lesions less than 7 cm long. Phase 2 of the trial will include longer lesions (up to 14 cm long) and will be initiated upon approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Xpert(TM) self-expanding stent in infrapopliteal lesions as part of an overall treatment strategy in patients undergoing percutaneous intervention for the treatment of documented chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI).
In this pilot clinical study the investigators propose to conduct a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial for 30 days for participants with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who undergo a major (above-knee or below-knee) lower extremity amputation. By exploring the primary endpoints we aim to determine whether NAC can affect amputation stump perfusion and healing. Based on preclinical data, the investigators hypothesize that NAC will augment both amputation stump perfusion as well as healing. The investigators will utilize the data from this trial to determine the true effect size that is necessary for a larger clinical trial to determine the clinical efficacy of NAC is healing surgical sites such as major lower extremity amputation stumps.
Patients undergoing semi-elective lower extremity major amputation from complications associated with atherosclerotic limb ischemia will received intra-muscular injections of allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in the leg above and below the point of amputation to prevent ischemic wound complications after surgery and decrease the incidence of revision and further amputation. Cohort Groups 1-4 will serve as controls.
