What is PAD?

17 million Americans have PAD*

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a life-threatening condition in which a hard, fatty material called plaque builds up on the inside walls of the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to legs and arms. The build-up of plaque causes the arteries to lose flexibility and narrow – a condition known as atherosclerosis – reducing blood flow to the legs and feet.

PAD can cause claudication; heavy, tired or painful legs and feet. If allowed to progress, PAD can lead to a severe lack of blood flow in the legs or feet leading to ulcers or sores that don’t heal which may result in amputation of the leg.

The System is contraindicated for use in coronary arteries, bypass grafts, stents, or where thrombus or dissections are present. Although the incidence of adverse events is rare, potential events that can occur with atherectomy include: pain, hypotension, CVA/TIA, death, dissection, perforation, distal embolization, thrombus formation, hematuria, abrupt or acute vessel closure, or arterial spasm.
