Last September, the Detour System of PQ Bypass received the US Food & Drug Administration Breakthrough Device designation.
This system is the world’s first fully-percutaneous femoral-popliteal bypass device for treating extremely long, complex blockages in the superficial femoral artery (SFA).
It is designed to treat patients who cannot carry out day to day activities by themselves due to their advanced symptomology, severe lesion morphology and multiple co-morbidities.
If PAD advances to claudication or tissue loss, revascularisation is needed to alleviate the ongoing deterioration as well as to prevent amputation.
The Detour System, which comprises the TORUS stent graft and the PQ Crossing Device, is currently being analysed in the DETOUR2 clinical trial in the US and Europe.
