Peripheral Arterial Disease | Device: Atherectomy Catheter | Not Applicable |
This is a prospective, global, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Pantheris OCT-Imaging System to perform atherectomy of in-stent restenotic (ISR) lesions in lower extremity arteries.
The trial will enroll up to 140 subjects diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease of the lower extremities that have previously been treated with stenting at up to 20 sites. The primary disease must be located in reference vessel diameter of >3.0mm and ≤7.0mm. Trial success is focused on safety, including rates of major adverse events through 30 days as adjudicated by a Clinical Events Committee, and effectiveness, which will be evaluated using technical success defined as the percent of target lesions that have residual diameter stenosis <50% post-treatment with the Pantheris device alone as assessed by Angiographic Core Lab.

- Freedom from a composite of major adverse events (MAEs) through 30-day follow-up (safety) [ Time Frame: Day 0 through 30 days post treatment procedure ]
The primary safety endpoint is freedom from a composite of major adverse events (MAEs) through 30-day follow-up, as adjudicated by an independent CEC.
Individual MAEs include:
- Cardiovascular-related death;
- Unplanned, major index limb amputation;
- Clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR);
- Myocardial infarction; or
-
Device-associated events:
- Clinically significant perforation,
- Clinically significant dissection,
- Clinically significant embolus, or
- Pseudoaneurysm.
- Technical success of Pantheris catheter treatment (efficacy) device [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]The primary efficacy endpoint of technical success is defined as the percent of target lesions that have a residual diameter stenosis <50% post the Pantheris device alone, as assessed by an independent Angiographic Core Laboratory.
- Stent structure freedom from new or worsening stent fracture post Pantheris treatment (safety) [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]Assess the stent for new or worsening stent fracture per comparative Pantheris OCT evaluation pre- and immediately post-procedure.
- Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint - Freedom from TLR [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment procedure ]Freedom from TLR at 6 months as assessed by an independent CEC.
- Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint - Procedural Success [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]Procedural success defined as the percent of target lesions that have residual diameter stenosis ≤ 30% post-Pantheris and any other adjunctive therapy, determined by independent Angiographic Core Laboratory.
- Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint - Freedom from TLR [ Time Frame: 12 months post treatment procedure ]Freedom from TLR at 12 months as assessed by an independent CEC.
- Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint - Ankle-Brachial Index [ Time Frame: 30 days, 6 and 12 months post treatment procedure ]Ankle-Brachial Index at 30 days, 6 and 12 months
- Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint - Rutherford Classification [ Time Frame: 30 days, 6 and 12 months post treatment procedure ]Rutherford Classification at 30 days, 6 and 12 months
- Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint - Use Adjunctive Devices [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]Adjunctive devices (stent placement (bare metal or drug eluting stent), drug eluting balloon or other) utilized during the index procedure.
