Comparison of a Lithotripsy vs Standard Preparation Followed by Stenting With Supera Stent in Femoropopliteal Lesions
Performance of the Shockwave Medical Peripheral Lithotripsy System vs Standard Balloon Angioplasty for Lesion Preparation Prior to Supera Stent Implantation in the Treatment of Symptomatic Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions in PAD
About This Trial
This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-center, 1:1 randomized pilot study. The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy in comparison to standard lesion preparation using standard and/or high-pressure balloon angioplasty in patients with femoropopliteal artery disease. All patients will receive subsequent Supera stent implantation at the operator's discretion. Additional standard nitinol bare metal stent (BMS), drug-eluting stent or covered stent implantation is at the operator's discretion. Patients will be stratified for total occlusions.
