NCT ID NCT07135895
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a device called the Artix Thrombectomy System to remove blood clots from leg arteries in people with sudden blockages. About 250 adults with symptoms lasting up to 14 days will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the device can safely restore blood flow and prevent complications like amputation.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Acute symptom duration ≤ 14 days * Lower limb arterial occlusion below inguinal ligament * Target lesion in native vessel * Target vessel size between 3 mm and 8 mm by visual estimation * Rutherford category I, IIa, or IIb * Informed consent is obtained from either patient or legally authorized representative (LAR) per Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee requirements Exclusion Criteria: * Life expectancy \< 6 months * Prior major amputation in the target limb * Prior minor amputation in the target limb that is not completely healed or cannot bear weight * Non-thrombotic occlusion secondary to dissection, vasculitis, or target vessel trauma * Treatment of the index event in the target vessel with any other endovascular thrombectomy/aspiration or open surgical method prior to Artix procedure * Part of a vulnerable population (e.g., currently pregnant, breastfeeding or incarcerated) per local definitions * Known sensitivity to radiographic contrast agents that, in the Investigator's opinion, cannot be adequately pre-treated * Unable to tolerate antiplatelet therapy * Inability to anticoagulate the patient with heparin, enoxaparin or other parenteral antithrombin, or known to have uncorrected bleeding disorders (e.g., gastro-intestinal ulcer, menorrhagia, liver failure, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)) * Any condition for which, in the opinion of the Investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject (e.g., contraindication to use of Artix per local approved labeling, compromise the well-being or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments) * Current participation in another drug or device study that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with participation in this study
