Wrist-Access stent shows promise for leg artery blockages

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is ≥ 18 years 2. Subject is capable (no legally authorized representative allowed) to provide written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) of the respective clinical site prior to any study related procedure 3. Subject has provided written informed consent before any study specific test or procedure and is willing to comply with all protocol and follow-up requirements 4. Subjects have a target lesion(s) with ≥ 70% stenosis (visual estimate) located in the iliac arteries 5. Target lesion is a de novo, restenotic or occluded lesion 6. Reference lumen (vessel) diameter between 5mm and 10 mm 7. The target lesion can be successfully crossed with a guide wire 8. Patient is eligible for transradial access 9. Subject has symptomatic iliac artery disease defined as Rutherford category 2 or higher Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is pregnant and/or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study. 2. Subject is with a current medical condition with a life expectancy of less than one year. 3. Pre-existing target iliac artery aneurysm or perforation or dissection 4. Any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator poses an unacceptable risk for implant of a stent according to the study indications like, sensitivity to metal ions, intolerance to contrast or antiplatelet, anticoagulant or thrombolytic medications required per the protocol 5. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) contiguous to the iliac artery target lesion requiring treatment 6. The subject is currently participating in an investigational drug, biologic, or another device study and has not reached their primary endpoint yet 7. Subjects with small diameter upper extremity arteries that posed a contraindication to the use of 6F sheath 8. Severe stenosis or calcification of upper extremity arteries 9. Patient height precluding transradial access with a 170 cm long catheter shaft 10. Patient with a history of aortic arch atheroembolism 11. Infrainguinal outflow lesions that need to be treated during the same index procedure 12. Patients with negative bilateral Allen or barbeau tests (Note: vascular access should be done via the left hand where possible) 13. Subject has IFU listed contraindication(s) 14. Subject has in-stent restenosis
