JAVELIN Study Catheter
The JAVELIN catheter will be used to treat subjects with moderate to severely calcified peripheral artery disease (PAD) with target lesion located in a native, de novo superficial femoral, popliteal or infrapopliteal artery. Intravascular Lithotripsy: The Shockwave Medical IVL System is intended for lithotripsy-enhanced treatment of lesions, including calcified lesions, to increase luminal diameter, allowing for further treatment (e.g. post-dilatation) in the peripheral arterial vasculature. Not for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.
