- Active substance
- Pounce Thrombectomy System (a device that removes blood clots from arteries without open surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could confirm that the Pounce device is a safe and effective way to restore blood flow in people with blocked leg arteries, potentially reducing the need for more invasive surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device works better than other treatments. Results may be influenced by patient selection and lack of a comparison group.
