CONFIRM Series

Confirm-360-Series

A prospective, multi-center series of acute registries (CONFIRM I, II, and III) to evaluate the procedural outcomes of Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) treatment in real-world patients with infrainguinal Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Key Takeaways

  • Low rate of procedural complications
  • Overall 81% moderate to severely calcified infrainguinal lesions

Study Design

  • Three consecutive prospective registries conducted under a similar protocol from 2009 to 2011
  • Real-world patients with no inclusion/exclusion criteria
  • OAS used in accordance with approved indication
  • Three generations of the OAS device evaluated
