LEVANT Japan Clinical Trial

The study will enroll patients presenting with claudication or ischemic rest pain and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral or popliteal artery and a patent outflow artery to the foot. After successful protocol-defined pre-dilatation, subjects that are determined not to require stenting based on defined angiographic criteria are randomized 2:1 to treatment with either MD02-LDCB (test arm) or standard PTA catheter (control arm) using similar techniques. Subjects that do not meet post-predilatation lesion criteria are excluded (and treated per standard practice) and followed for safety for 30 days. Randomized subjects will have ultrasound follow-up through 2 years and are consented for up to 2 years clinical follow-up.

Inclusion criteria

• Male or non-pregnant female ≥20 years of age;
• Rutherford Clinical Category 2-4;
• Length ≤15 cm;
• ≥70% stenosis
• Lesion location starts ≥1 cm below the common femoral bifurcation and terminates distally ≤2 cm below the tibial plateau AND ≥1 cm above the origin of the TP trunk;
• A patent inflow artery as confirmed by angiography
• At least one patent native outflow artery to the ankle

Exclusion criteria

• Life expectancy of < 2 years;
• History of hemorrhagic stroke within 3 months;
• Previous or planned surgical or interventional procedure within 2 weeks before or within 30 days after the index procedure;
• History of MI, thrombolysis or angina within 2 weeks of enrollment;
• Renal failure or chronic kidney disease
• Severe calcification that renders the lesion un-dilatable
