The approval allowed the company to initiate a pivotal U.S. clinical trial evaluating the technology in patients with peripheral artery disease. The pivotal study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Artero system in treating peripheral arterial disease, with a particular focus on patients with calcified arterial lesions. The trial represented an important regulatory milestone for FastWave as it progressed toward potential FDA clearance of its peripheral IVL technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artero had been developed as an electric IVL platform for modifying calcium within peripheral arteries. The system delivered circumferential sonic pressure waves through a balloon catheter, with the objective of disrupting vascular calcium while facilitating endovascular treatment. FastWave had previously reported progress in the clinical development of the technology, including preparations for the U.S. pivotal study. The FDA IDE approval followed FastWave&#8217;s continued development of its broader IVL technology portfolio. The company had also been advancing Sola, its laser-based IVL platform intended for coronary artery disease, while expanding intellectual-property protection for both platforms internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiation of the pivotal Artero trial marked a significant step in the development of next-generation peripheral IVL technology.
