Clinical Evidence for Stealth 360™ Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System
The Stealth 360™ Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) has been well-studied in over 4,800 patients and in more than 7,000 lesions with durable results.1 In the LIBERTY 360 trial, primary patency was 89.7% at 2 years in RC 2-3 patients2 and the 3-year freedom from major amputation was 88.6% in RC 6 patients.3
Stealth 360™ Peripheral OAS Clinical Studies
LIBERTY 360º
LIBERTY is the largest, contemporary, real-world study to evaluate procedural and long-term clinical outcomes of endovascular device interventions in patients with symptomatic lower extremity Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).4
Study Design4
- Prospective, observational, multicenter study that includes any FDA-cleared or approved technology to treat claudication and Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).
- 1,204 patients enrolled at 51 sites and were followed for up to five years. Four core labs were used for independent analysis.
- Key endpoints: Procedural and lesion success, Major Adverse Events (MAEs), Duplex Ultrasound (DUS), Quality of Life (QoL), and Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT).
- Key inclusion criteria: Rutherford classification (RC) 2 to 6, target lesion located within or extending into 10 cm above the medial epicondyle to the digital arteries (distal 1/3 of the SFA and below), and at least one lesion that can be treated with an endovascular device.5

Conclusion
Peripheral Vascular Intervention (PVI) may be a reasonable treatment option across all Rutherford classes with durable results lasting to 3 years.4
- High freedom from major amputation at 3 years across all Rutherford classes.4
- In the OAS sub-analysis, freedom from major amputation rates at 3 years were even higher than in the full patient cohort.4
- Improved Quality of Life by 30 days and maintained to 3 years across all Rutherford classes.4
- High long-term patency rates through 2 years in RC 2-3.6
- Improvement in mean number of wounds from 30 days to 2 years in RC 4-6.6
CALCIUM 360º
A prospective, randomized, multi-center study that compared the acute and long-term results of Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) + Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) versus PTA alone in calcified below-the-knee (BTK) lesions.7
Key Takeaways7
- Lower mean maximum balloon inflation pressure in OAS+PTA arm
- Lower rate of major adverse events at 12-months in OAS+PTA arm
Study Design7
- 50 Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) patients enrolled at 8 U.S. sites.
- Patients randomized to either OAS+PTA (25 pts) or PTA alone (25 pts) and followed for 12 months.

TRUTH
A prospective, single-arm, single-center study using Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) to assess Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS)-related plaque modification of femoropopliteal lesions.8
Key Takeaways8
- OAS modified the calcified component of the plaque burden (IVUS analysis).
- Calcium reduction was responsible for 86% of lumen area increase (IVUS analysis).
- Increase in minimum lumen area post-OAS (IVUS analysis).
- Low mean maximum balloon inflation pressure post-OAS of 5.2 atm.
Study Design8
- 25 patients enrolled at a single center.
- Patients treated with OAS+Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) and followed for 12 months.
- IVUS images collected pre-OAS, post-OAS, and post-PTA (IVUS Core Lab).
