LEVANT 2 Safety Registry

This is an interventional treatment trial for Peripheral Artery Disease Read More

Clinical Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or non-pregnant female ≥18 years of age;
2. Rutherford Clinical Category 2-4;

3. Patient is willing to provide informed consent, is geographically stable and comply with the required follow up visits, testing schedule and medication regimen;

   Angiographic Lesion Inclusion Criteria:

4. Length ≤15 cm;
5. Up to two focal lesions or segments within the designated 15 cm length of vessel may be treated (e.g. two discrete segments, separated by several cm, but both falling within a composite length of <15 cm);
6. ≥70% stenosis by visual estimate;
7. Lesion location starts ≥1 cm below the common femoral bifurcation and terminates distally ≤2 cm below the tibial plateau AND ≥1 cm above the origin of the TP trunk;
8. De novo lesion(s) or non-stented restenotic lesion(s) >90 days from prior angioplasty procedure;
9. Lesion is located at least 3 cm from any stent, if target vessel was previously stented;
10. Target vessel diameter between ≥4 and ≤6 mm and able to be treated with available device size matrix;
11. Successful, uncomplicated (without use of a crossing device) antegrade wire crossing of lesion;
12. A patent inflow artery free from significant lesion (≥50% stenosis) as confirmed by angiography (treatment of target lesion acceptable after successful treatment of inflow artery lesions); NOTE: Successful inflow artery treatment is defined as attainment of residual diameter stenosis ≤30% without death or major vascular complication.
13. At least one patent native outflow artery to the ankle, free from significant (≥50%) stenosis as confirmed by angiography that has not previously been revascularized (treatment of outflow disease is NOT permitted during the index procedure);
14. Contralateral limb lesion(s) cannot be treated within 2 weeks before and/or planned 30 days after the protocol treatment in order to avoid confounding complications;
15. No other prior vascular interventions within 2 weeks before and/or planned 30 days after the protocol treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients will be excluded if ANY of the following conditions apply:

1. Pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant or men intending to father children;
2. Life expectancy of <5 years;
3. Patient is currently participating in an investigational drug or other device study or previously enrolled in this study; NOTE: Enrollment in another clinical trial during the follow up period is not allowed.
4. History of hemorrhagic stroke within 3 months;
5. Previous or planned surgical or interventional procedure within 2 weeks before or within 30 days after the index procedure;
6. History of MI, thrombolysis or angina within 2 weeks of enrollment;
7. Rutherford Class 0, 1, 5 or 6;
8. Renal failure or chronic kidney disease with MDRD GFR ≤30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (or serum creatinine ≥2.5 mg/L within 30 days of index procedure or treated with dialysis);
9. Prior vascular surgery of the index limb, with the exception of remote common femoral patch angioplasty separated by at least 2 cm from the target lesion;
10. Inability to take required study medications or allergy to contrast that cannot be adequately managed with pre- and post-procedure medication;
11. Anticipated use of IIb/IIIa inhibitor prior to randomization;
12. Ipsilateral retrograde access;
13. Composite lesion length is >15 cm or there is no normal proximal arterial segment in which duplex flow velocity can be measured;
14. Significant inflow disease. Successful treatment of inflow disease allowed prior to target lesion treatment;
15. Known inadequate distal outflow (>50 % stenosis of distal popliteal and/or all three tibial vessels), or planned future treatment of vascular disease distal to the target lesion;
16. Sudden symptom onset, acute vessel occlusion, or acute or sub-acute thrombus in target vessel;
17. Severe calcification that renders the lesion un-dilatable;
18. Use of adjunctive treatment modalities (i.e. laser, atherectomy, cryoplasty, scoring/cutting balloon, etc.).
