NCT01174784

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study of the Wildcat Catheter to cross a single femoropopliteal chronic total occlusion (CTO). Safety and efficacy will be evaluated during the index procedure through 30-day follow-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Major Adverse Events

    The primary safety endpoint of the CONNECT Study was defined as absence of in-hospital or 30-days Major Adverse Events (MAEs), no evidence of clinically significant perforations, clinically significant embolizations or Grade C or greater dissections after Wildcat CTO crossing confirmed by angiography.

    Index through 30-Day Follow-Up

  • CTO Crossing Success Using the Wildcat

    Successful femoropopliteal CTO crossing using the Wildcat identified by confirmation of guidewire placement in the distal true lumen confirmed by angiography.

    Index through 30-Day Follow-Up

You may qualify if:

  • Patient is willing and able to provide informed consent.
  • Patient is willing and able to comply with the study protocol.
  • Patient is \> 18 years old.
  • Patient has peripheral arterial disease requiring revascularization as evidenced by contrast, CT or MR angiography.
  • Patient has an occluded femoropopliteal artery that is 99-100% stenosed and is ≥ 1 cm and ≤ 30 cm in length by visual estimate.
