Device tested to drill through hardened leg artery blockages

NCT ID NCT05529472

Summary

This study tested a medical device called an orbital atherectomy system to treat severe, hardened blockages in the leg arteries of Japanese patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The goal was to see if the device could safely open these difficult blockages to improve blood flow, which could help reduce pain and improve walking ability. Researchers followed 81 patients to collect safety and effectiveness data to support the device's use in Japan.
