jetstream in treatment of occlusive atherosclerotic lesions in the sfa and/or ppa

Conditions: Atherosclerosis

Summary: this clinical study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single-arm study to demonstrate the acceptable safety and performance of the jetstream™ atherectomy system (jetstream) used during percutaneous peripheral vascular intervention in patients with occlusive atherosclerotic lesions in the native sfa and/or ppa. it is intended that all patients with qualifying lesions would be considered for enrollment and treated with the jetstream system.

study objectives: to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of jetstream™ atherectomy system (jetstream) for treating symptomatic chinese patients with occlusive atherosclerotic lesions in native superficial femoral artery (sfa) and/ or proximal popliteal arteries (ppa)during percutaneous peripheral vascular intervention. planed indications for use: the jetstream system is intended for use in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature and to break apart and remove atherosclerotic disease, debris, and thrombus from the sfa and/or ppa. primary safety endpoint: major adverse event (mae), defined as all-cause death, target limb unplanned major amputation and/or target lesion revascularization (tlr), within 30 days post index procedure primary effectiveness endpoint: acute reduction of percent diameter stenosis (%ds) post atherectomy but prior to any adjunctive therapy, when compared to its baseline diameter stenosis (absolute mean percentage).
