Post-Market Evaluation of Active Thrombectomy and Proximal Aspiration during Lower Extremity Tibial Interventions

Full description

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open label, single arm post-market clinical study to gather data on the use of the Protexus catheter for temporary blood vessel occlusion while standard of care treatment with other therapeutic devices is conducted in patients undergoing infrapopliteal treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
