About this study

Official title: Real-World Clinical Evaluation of the Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Catheter System for Treating Severe Calcified Lesions in Femoropopliteal Arteries

There is a lack of prospective observational studies of shockwave balloons in the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcification of the femoral popliteal artery at the international level. Therefore, in this study, we wish to set up a real-world study of shockwave balloon in the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcification to investigate the real-world efficacy of shockwave balloon in the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcified lesions.

Read the detailed description

Vascular calcification is prevalent in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), especially those with comorbid diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Severe calcification portends a poor prognosis and is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Calcification may also compromise the efficacy of endoluminal therapy, leading to suboptimal vasodilatation and an increased risk of vascular complications, including restenosis, as well as entrapment, perforation, and distal embolization. The current grading of vascular calcification is based on the PACSS score, which can be categorized as mild, moderate, or severe depending on the degree of calcification and the extent of the lesion. Neither high-pressure balloon angioplasty nor plaque resection (atherectomy) significantly improves severely calcified lesions. The efficacy of these treatment modalities has also not been validated in multicenter real-world studies. Shockwave balloons have been widely used in the clinical endoluminal treatment of severely calcified lesions due to their ability to significantly disrupt calcified structures while reducing damage to the vascular intima, thereby reducing postoperative complications. The current published study Disrupt PAD III Trial (NCT02923193) of shockwave balloon treatment of calcified lesions demonstrated a lower residual stenosis rate with shockwave balloon versus balloon dilatation alone in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (66.4% vs. 51.9%; p = 0.02), limiting the number of patients who could be treated with shockwave balloon. p = 0.02), a lower incidence of flow-limiting entrapment (1.4% vs. 6.8%; p = 0.03), and a lower rate of posterior dilation and remedial stenting (5.2% vs. 17.0%; p = 0.001); (4.6% vs. 18.3%; p < 0.001). Shockwave balloons have been approved by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration for endoluminal treatment of severe calcification of the femoropopliteal artery, and are currently used only in larger vascular surgery centers because of their short time on the market. On this basis, we asked whether we could set up a real-world study of shockwave balloons for the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcification to investigate the real-world efficacy of shockwave balloons in the treatment of moderate-to-severe calcified lesions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Shockwave balloonsDevice

    To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Shockwave intraperipheral shockwave catheter system in peripheral arterial angioplasty.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Procedural Success Rate

    Residual stenosis <50% with no flow-limiting entrapment after study device therapy (before subsequent endovascular device therapy).

    Measured: procedural

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Primary Patency Rate

    Primary patency of target lesions at 30 days postoperatively

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization(CD-TLR)

    Clinically driven target lesion revascularization is defined as target lesion revascularization performed due to target lesion diameter stenosis ≥50% and either evidence of clinical or functional ischemia (e.g., recurrent/progressive life-limiting intermittent claudication, claudication unresponsive to medical therapy, CLI) or recurrence of the clinical syndrome for which the initial procedure was performed.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  3. Clinical improvement

    Improvements in Rutherford grading

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  4. Vascular quality of life questionnaire(VascuQol)

    The VascuQol was designed as a questionnaire containing five domains: pain (4 items), symptoms (4 items), activities (8 items), social (2 items), and emotional (7 items) to evaluate Health related quality of life (HRQL). Every item has seven response options, with scores ranging from 1 to 7. A total score is the sum of all 25 item scores divided by 25.And both the total score as well as the domain scores range from 1 (worst HRQL) to 7 (best HRQL).The lower the value, the poorer the quality of life.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  5. Remedial stenting rate

    Remedial stenting rate

    Measured: procedural

  6. Remedial stenting rate

    Manipulation-related acute thrombosis, arterial embolism, major amputation, and all-cause mortality

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  7. Instrument success

    Successful delivery and deployment of a single-use peripheral intravascular shockwave catheter to the intended target lesion site and successful withdrawal of the delivery system

    Measured: procedural

  8. Incidence of Major Adverse Events at 30 days postoperatively

    a Emergency surgical hemodialysis of the target limb; b.Unplanned target limb amputation (above the ankle); c.Symptomatic thrombosis or distal embolization requiring treatment in the area of the target lesion or in the target limb as confirmed by imaging; d.Perforation or flow-limiting entrapment of the target lesion requiring treatment; cardiac death.

    Measured: 30 days

  9. Major adverse events

    Death, unplanned major amputation of the target limb, and CD-TLR were defined as a major adverse event.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
