Safety & Feasibility Study of Tack-It Device for Vessel Dissection Repair

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study is intended to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the Intact Vascular (Innovasc) Tack-It Endovascular Dissection Repair System (Tack Intravascular Staple System) in patients with vascular flaps in the infrainguinal due post-angioplasty dissection.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of delivery and placement of the Innovasc Tack Intravascular Staple System on vascular flaps in the SFA, created by percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty Safety will be evaluated as the 30-day (or hospital discharge date, whichever is longer) rate of major adverse events defined as the composite endpoint of death, device embolization, the occurrence of surgery related to the device, device related occlusion of the artery, or major unplanned amputation of the ipsilateral lower extremity. The secondary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of using the Innovasc Tack Intravascular Staple System to permanently secure vascular flaps. Secondary Evaluation of Feasibility (technical success) of the Innovasc Tack Intravascular Staple System (procedure and device) will be evaluated acutely by the following: Feasibility is defined as the ability to accurately place the Plaque Tacks and resolve post-PTA dissection flaps prior to the conclusion of the procedure, as demonstrated by angiography Acute technical success: Acute luminal patency during the revascularization procedure using standard angiography which demonstrates that the lumen of the artery at the location of tack implant remains patent at the conclusion of the procedure. The additional objectives of the study are to assess additional parameters as follows: Long term success will be assessed at one (1) month and three (3) months by evaluation of post-implant stability of the Plaque Tack relative to vascular or external landmarks at 30 days and 3 months via standard x-ray. Patency at 30 days and 3 months via duplex scanning or angiography, whichever deemed most appropriate for follow up of each individual patient by the principal investigator.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Age >18 and < 85 years Patient or patient's legal representative have been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to participate and has signed the approved consent form. Patient has documented chronic limb ischemia with Rutherford Category 2, 3, 4, or 5. Clinical conditions of claudication or rest pain or ischemic ulceration or minor gangrene as diagnosed by the investigator Reference vessel diameter between 2 and 7mm Target lesion is not severely calcified At least one patent tibial runoff vessel is present. Patient has patent iliac or femoral arteries that allow endovascular access to the site with the Introducer Sheath or Delivery Catheter or these can be treated at the time of the procedure and achieve a <30% residual stenosis at each inflow lesion. Ability to pass the guidewire across the atherosclerotic lesion. No evidence of aneurysm or acute thrombus in target vessel. Exclusion Criteria: Severe or infected gangrene of the lower extremity Planned major amputation Previously implanted stent at the treatment site Patient is morbidly obese or has other clinical conditions that severely inhibit X-ray visualization. Patient has connective tissue disease (e.g., Marfan's syndrome).
