          Lower Extremity Acute Limb Ischemia (LE-ALI)

          To collect safety and performance data with the Indigo Aspiration System in a patient population with lower extremity acute limb ischemia (LE-ALI)

          In the STRIDE study, aspiration thrombectomy with the Indigo System provided a safe and effective endovascular treatment for LE-ALI patients, resulting in a high rate (98.2%) of successful limb salvage at 30 days, with few peri-procedural complications.

          Follow up clinical trial now underway — STRIDE II

          STRIDE II is a prospective clinical study incorporating the latest Lightning Bolt technology. The trial has initiated enrollment and will activate up to 50 sites globally, with a target of up to 300 treated limbs. Compared to its predecessor, STRIDE II will more than double the number of limbs treated and expand the range of vessel locations, including iliac arteries and below. Participants will be followed for up to 180 days post-treatment. Please see the link for additional information found on ClinicalTrials.gov

          a. STRIDE study was not a randomized or head-to head study; data cannot be directly compared. Please refer to specific publications to review source for detailed patient and data collection methods for open surgical revascularization.
          b. Composite limb salvage rate at 30 days calculated and data on file at Penumbra, Inc.
          c. Major bleeding definitions may vary across studies. Please refer to specific publications for details.
