Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Auryon Atherectomy System with balloon angioplasty safe and effective in treating lower limb blockages. The main question it aims to answer is: Is treatment with Auryon Atherectomy System more effective than angioplasty alone in preventing death, amputation, revascularization and improving patency? Researchers will compare the Auryon Atherectomy System with balloon angioplasty to balloon angioplasty alone.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Win-ratio comparing subjects in the treatment group versus the control group on the components of the composite endpoints in a hierarchical fashion at 12 months
The primary endpoint will be analyzed based on a Finkelstein-Schoenfeld/win-ratio approach, comparing pairs of subjects on the components of the composite endpoint in a hierarchical fashion: 1. Freedom from amputation 2. Freedom from CD-TLR 3. Primary Patency
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
Secondary Outcomes (24)
Device Success
Measured upon completion of the index procedure
Procedural Success
Measured upon completion of the index procedure
Clinical Success
Measured upon completion of the index procedure prior to discharge.
Secondary Duplex Ultrasound Imaging Measures
Measured at Hospital Discharge (12-24 hours post-procedure or prior to discharge, whichever comes first), 30 days, and 6, 12, 24 months
Primary sustained clinical improvement
Measured at 30 days, and 6, 12, 24 months
- +19 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Auryon Atherectomy System and Balloon Angioplasty
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will be treated with the Auryon Atherectomy System followed by Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty
Balloon Angioplasty Only
ACTIVE COMPARATORSubjects assigned to this treatment group will be treated with percutaneous balloon angioplasty only.
Interventions
Auryon Atherectomy System is composed of a laser and catheter
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age of subject is ≥ 18.
- Estimated life expectancy ≥1 year.
- Subject is able and willing to comply with all assessments in the study.
- Subject has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to participate, and has signed the approved consent form.
- Rutherford Category classification of 4 or 5 of the target limb.
- Subject is a suitable candidate for angiography and endovascular intervention in the opinion of the investigator or per hospital guidelines.
- Target lesion that is located in a native, de novo infra-popliteal artery (extending from P3 of the popliteal artery to the margin of the ankle mortise).
- Target lesions(s) must be viewed angiographically and have 50-100% stenosis.
- Only a single lesion is included in the study per subject.
- The vessel segment distal to the target lesion must be patent all the way to the ankle, with no significant lesion (≥ 50% stenosis).
- Lesion length ≥50mm and ≤300mm.
- Intraluminal crossing of the lesion. Successful crossing is defined as tip of the guidewire distal to the target lesion in the absence of flow limiting dissections or perforations. If this is not certain, IVUS or OCT may be used to verify this at the operator's discretion.
- Target Lesion reference vessel diameter (RVD) between 1.5mm - 4.5mm by investigator estimate.
You may not qualify if:
- Target lesion is in a vessel graft or synthetic graft.
- Treatment of target lesion with radial access.
- Planned target limb major amputation (above-the-ankle).
- Acute limb ischemia or required thrombolysis as a primary treatment modality of the target limb.
- History of prior endovascular or surgical procedure on the index limb within 30 days prior to enrollment or planned within 30 days of the index procedure.
- Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding. (Female subjects of childbearing potential must be non-breastfeeding and have a negative pregnancy test ≤ 7 days before the procedure.)
- Subject has a known coagulopathy or has bleeding diatheses/disorder, thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100,000/microliter / less than 80,000K.
- Subject in whom antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated.
- Subject has known allergy to contrast agents or medications used to perform endovascular intervention that cannot be adequately pre-treated.
- Myocardial infarction within 60 days prior to enrollment.
- History of stroke/CVA/TIA within 60 days prior to enrollment.
- History of thrombolytic therapy within 14 days of enrollment.
- Subject has acute or chronic renal disease defined as serum creatinine of \>2.5 mg/dL or \>220 umol/L, or is on dialysis.
- Subject is participating in another research study involving an investigational agent (pharmaceutical, biologic, or medical device) that has not reached the primary endpoint.
- Subject has other medical, social or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude them from receiving this treatment, and the study requirements and evaluations pre- and post-treatment.
