Summary

This study tests a new device that uses sound waves (lithotripsy) to break up hard calcium deposits in leg arteries, a condition called peripheral artery disease. About 75 adults with moderate to severe symptoms will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if the device safely opens the arteries enough to restore blood flow.
