About this trial
The primary purpose of this study is to observe reduced access site complications in patients with heavily calcified common femoral arteries requiring Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Shockwave M5 IVL Catheter
DeviceThe Shockwave M5 IVL Catheter is a balloon catheter designed to modify calcified arterial plaque using intravascular lithotripsy prior to vascular access
Modified Seldinger Technique
Procedure/SurgeryStandard of care for femoral access in patients with calcified femoral arteries
Modified Seldinger Technique
Procedure/SurgeryStandard femoral artery access using the modified Seldinger technique without any prior vessel preparation or plaque modification.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Evaluate for contrast extravasation post closure of femoral artery at the end of the procedure
Secondary outcomes
Determine need for Vascular surgery consultation
If vascular complication, was PTA, stenting, or open surgery used
Number of perclose devices used to close the femoral artery access site
Determine presence of other vascular complications I.e. bleeding, hematoma, emboli etc
