Tissue perfusion assessment is key to more accurate measurement of foot ischemia, which is in turn an important factor in appropriate treatment decisions. In practice though, tissue perfusion measurements are not routinely undertaken as few practical solutions exist that are easy to use and fit in everyday clinical practice. Pedra has developed a novel, easy to use, non-invasive device that can be used in practice to better inform treatment decisions. This is a feasibility study to demonstrate the ability of the Xauron system to track tissue perfusion changes in patients undergoing endovascular intervention for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The findings of this study are for research purposes and will also be used to help with the future education of physicians about the potential use of the Xauron system. In addition, this early pilot data will be used to help power larger, more definitive studies relating to the intra-procedural use of the Xauron system.
