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

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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
Procedural Success
Defined as residual diameter stenosis ≤50% at the end of the procedure as determined by angiographic core lab
Secondary outcomes
Target lesion patency, 30 days
Defined as freedom from CD-TLR and freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or angiogram
Target lesion patency, 6 months
Defined as freedom from CD-TLR and freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or angiogram
Target lesion patency, 12 months
Defined as freedom from CD-TLR and freedom from ≥50% restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or angiogram
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.
