The largest prospective ‘real-world’ evidence for the treatment of complex, heavily calcified PAD
Assess 'real-world' peri-procedural outcomes of IVL for treatment of calcified, stenotic, peripheral arteries
Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Blind, Observational Study
RC 2-6
Moderate-severe calcification*
Ilio-femoral, femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries
* Presence of fluoroscopic evidence of calcification by PARC definition: 1) on parallel sides of the vessel and 2) extending > 50% the length of the lesion if lesion is ≥50mm in length; or extending for minimum of 20mm if lesion is <50mm in length

Predictably consistent results across vessel beds,
challenging lesions and complex patients

Use of adjunctive technology was at the operator’s discretion – use of embolic protection was less when IVL was used as the only calcium modification tool; IVL saw better results with appropriate IVL sizing
When IVL was used as the only calcium modification therapy*, there was less use of embolic protection
Per a multivariable analysis, proper IVL balloon sizing (≥ 1:1)† is an independent predictor of improved stenosis reduction but not a predictor of complications.
* Ca modifying therapy: atherectomy and/or scoring/cutting balloon
† PAD OS data analysis is consistent with prior PAD II data analysis and continues to support 1.1:1 sizing in the product instructions for use (IFU)
