Summary

This trial is designed to study the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System for the treatment of calcified, stenotic BTK arteries.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with Peripheral Arterial Disease affecting the legs, specifically below-the-knee arteries. Participants must have a life expectancy over a year and be able to follow study procedures. They should have moderate to severe artery calcification or non-dilatable lesions, and not be allergic to certain materials like urethane or silicone.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System's safety and effectiveness in treating calcified, narrowed arteries below the knee. It's an observational study where all participants receive Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) without being compared to another group.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, similar procedures may include discomfort at the treatment site, bruising, bleeding, potential for artery damage or disruption of plaque that could block blood flow elsewhere.
