About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the Thor system in adult (≥ 18 year old) patients with de novo (new, never treated) calcified lesions in infrainguinal (leg) arteries (peripheral artery disease or PAD).

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Is the Thor system safe in treating these lesions * Does the Thor system work to treat these lesions

Participants will:

* Receive treatment with the Thor system * Have follow-up visits at Discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient age is ≥18 years

Patient agrees to participate and to comply with the protocol by signing an IRB approved patient consent form

Patient is able to walk unassisted or with non-motorized assistive devices

Disqualifiers

Patient has active infection requiring antibiotic therapy

Stenting planned within the target lesion

Known positive for COVID-19 within the last 2 weeks and actively symptomatic

Pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or currently breast feeding

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAEs)

Defined as freedom from MAEs including all-cause mortality, clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR), unplanned target limb major amputation, perforations, flow-limiting dissections, and symptomatic distal embolizations that require an intervention to resolve

Time frame
30 Days
2

Procedural Success

Defined as residual diameter stenosis ≤50% at the end of the procedure as determined by angiographic core lab

Time frame
At completion of the procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Target lesion patency, 30 days

Defined as freedom from CD-TLR and freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or angiogram

Time frame
30 days
2

Target lesion patency, 6 months

Defined as freedom from CD-TLR and freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or angiogram

Time frame
6 months
3

Target lesion patency, 12 months

Defined as freedom from CD-TLR and freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or angiogram

Time frame
12 months
4

Clinically-driven target lesion revascularization

Defined as repeat revascularization procedure of the target lesion if PSVR is ≥2.5 by DUS or if angiography shows a percent diameter stenosis \>50% and there are worsening clinical symptoms, worsening Rutherford Clinical Category or ABI that is clearly referable to the target lesion.

Time frame
Through 12 months
