Summary

"This trial aims to test the safety and effectiveness of the Pulse IVL System for treating blockages in leg arteries caused by calcium buildup in patients with peripheral arterial disease."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Peripheral Arterial Disease, specifically those with a low ankle-brachial index or significant artery narrowing confirmed by imaging. Participants should be experiencing certain symptoms and must be expected to live at least another year. They need to agree to the study's procedures and sign consent.
What is being tested?
The POWER PAD 2 trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy (Pulse IVL) in treating calcified blockages in leg arteries. This single-arm study involves patients receiving this treatment without being compared to another group.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, treatments like Pulse IVL could potentially cause discomfort, bruising, bleeding or infection at the catheter insertion site, arterial damage, or reactions related to breaking up artery calcifications.
