PRELUDE-BTK Study
Prospective, core-lab adjudicated
The Serranator was found to be safe and effective in treating atherosclerotic disease of the infrapopliteal arteries. The PRELUDE BTK study also showed effective lumen gain with an average pre-procedure diameter stenosis of 81.3%, and an average post treatment diameter stenosis of 21.8%. The lumen gain was achieved using low atmospheric pressure (avg maximum of 6ATM). The mechanism of action was documented by OCT and IVUS. The Serration Angioplasty effect was shown in all 10 lesions imaged. A low re-intervention rate was observed. The Freedom from CD-TLR at 6-months was 97.7%.

Serration Evidence
As part of the PRELUDE Studies, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed on a sub-set of cases. In all cases, imaging demonstrated serrations regardless of plaque morphology. (n=10/10 lesions)

Pre-intervention imaging showed diffuse circumferential superficial calcification (A-B). Post-Serranator imaging showed slits in the superficial calcium enabling enlargement of lumen without any dissection (A’-B’)” – Dr. Akiko Maehara
OCT Shows Serrations
– Performed by Dr. Andrew Holden
Clinical Outcomes
The initial outcomes demonstrate that the Serranator can achieve excellent lumen gain, with minimal dissection and low reintervention rates. (n=53 lesions)
Additionally, dramatic quality of life and Rutherford classification improvements were demonstrated.
