Summary
This trial found that the Auryon Laser Atherectomy System was effective in treating infrainguinal arterial disease, including in-stent restenosis.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with critical limb ischemia in the leg, specifically from the knee to the ankle. Participants must have a blocked artery that's at least 50% narrowed and agree to follow-up evaluations. People can't join if they've had recent strokes or bleeding issues, are on dialysis, pregnant, or enrolled in another study that conflicts.
What is being tested?
The Auryon Laser System is being tested for its effectiveness in treating below-the-knee arteries affected by Peripheral Vascular Disease and Peripheral Arterial Disease. The system has FDA clearance for infrainguinal arterial disease including in-stent restenosis.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of using the Auryon Laser System may include discomfort at the treatment site, bruising or bleeding, risk of infection, and possible damage to surrounding tissues or vessels during the procedure.
