tack optimized balloon angioplasty study of the tack endovascular system™ in femoropoliteal arteries

Conditions: Peripheral Artery Disease

Summary: this is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-blinded study designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the tack endovascular system in subjects with post-balloon angioplasty (post-pta) dissection(s) type(s) a through f in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries ranging in diameter from 2.5mm to 6.0mm.
