Among U.S. adults aged 40 years and older, an estimated 4.5% exhibit an ankle-brachial index below 0.9, indicative of peripheral artery disease, with nearly two-thirds of these individuals remaining asymptomatic and undiagnosed-a challenge that underscores the critical need for advanced interventional therapies aimed at early lesion management and limb preservation. As the population continues to age and comorbidities such as diabetes affect roughly 9.9% of adults, the prevalence of lower limb arterial disease rises, placing heightened demands on healthcare systems to adopt minimally invasive techniques that reduce morbidity and improve patient quality of life.

Advancements in percutaneous endovascular therapies have transformed the clinical approach to lower limb occlusive disease, shifting away from open surgical bypass toward catheter-based solutions that offer shorter hospital stays and lower complication rates. Improvements in imaging modalities, device deliverability, and lesion-crossing technologies have collectively expanded treatment options for complex, calcified lesions that were once deemed untreatable by endovascular means. As a result, interventional specialists are now empowered to address anatomies that span from the superficial femoral artery to infrapopliteal vessels using devices tailored for specific lesion morphologies.

The clinical and economic imperatives to minimize amputation rates and optimize limb salvage outcomes have driven a continuous evolution of device architectures and procedural techniques. From aspiration systems that facilitate rapid clot removal to atherectomy platforms calibrated for varying plaque compositions, the current generation of devices represents a convergence of engineering ingenuity and clinical insights. In this landscape, the role of lower limb artery interventional devices has never been more pivotal for patients, physicians, and healthcare stakeholders seeking sustainable solutions for an increasingly prevalent and complex disease state.

The lower limb interventional arena has been reshaped by the arrival of intravascular lithotripsy, a technique pioneered by Shockwave’s E8 catheter cleared by the FDA in September 2024, which employs acoustic pulses to fracture calcified plaque and facilitate subsequent balloon dilatation without vessel injury. Simultaneously, directional and orbital atherectomy systems from innovators like CardioFlow have introduced novel approaches for plaque modification, leveraging diamond-coated crowns and angular momentum to ablate complex lesions across diverse vessel diameters.

In parallel, the resurgence of drug-coated balloons has been fueled by robust safety and efficacy data demonstrating significant reductions in restenosis and repeat revascularization rates compared to bare balloons, accompanied by the FDA’s withdrawal of its safety advisory on paclitaxel-coated devices in July 2023, reinforcing confidence in their long-term mortality profile. Concurrently, covered stent platforms are undergoing first-in-human trials-most notably BD’s AGILITY study evaluating a covered stent tailored for long femoropopliteal lesions-expanding the therapeutic toolkit for exclusion of complex plaque segments.

Looking ahead, robotic endovascular systems are poised to redefine procedural precision and operator ergonomics: Microbot Medical’s LIBERTY system has completed its pivotal human trial and submitted for FDA 510(k) clearance, promising fully disposable, single-use robotics to enhance radiation safety and streamline adoption by eliminating capital-intensive equipment requirements. At the same time, second-generation platforms from Corindus are extending robotic control to peripheral interventions, marking a shift toward remote manipulation, millimeter-scale accuracy, and improved procedural consistency. These converging technologies are not only broadening the scope of endovascular care but are also catalyzing new paradigms in clinical workflow and patient safety.

In 2025, the U.S. trade landscape has evolved with sequential tariff increases that affect the medical device supply chain, notably a 10% tariff on imports from mainland China implemented via Section 301 measures on January 1 and February 1, 2025, and a 25% derivative tariff on steel and aluminum-containing products that took effect on March 12, 2025. Additionally, rubber medical and surgical gloves faced a 50% tariff increase starting January 1, 2025-up from 7.5%-with further escalations scheduled in subsequent years, and disposable textile facemasks incurred a 25% tariff as part of the first increase under the same schedule.

These measures have prompted healthcare providers and device manufacturers to reevaluate sourcing strategies, intensify domestic production initiatives, and seek tariff exemptions for critical medical products. The American Hospital Association has formally petitioned for carve-outs on medical devices to mitigate the risk of supply disruptions and cost inflation that could impair patient care delivery, highlighting the delicate balance between trade policy objectives and healthcare system resilience. Moreover, the layered tariff structure has incentivized companies to explore nearshoring and regional manufacturing hubs in Mexico and Canada to preserve profit margins and ensure continuity of supply.

Looking forward, industry stakeholders must monitor potential shifts in reciprocal trade actions and anticipated retaliatory measures from key trading partners, alongside evolving regulatory frameworks that govern duty classifications for specialized vascular devices. Strategic collaboration with policy makers and participation in tariff exclusion processes will be essential to safeguarding access to the latest interventional technologies and maintaining a stable cost base for lower limb artery interventions.

The study of lower limb artery interventional devices has been meticulously organized by device type to account for distinct mechanisms of action and clinical applications. Aspiration devices accommodate both manual and mechanical modes of thrombectomy, enabling rapid removal of occlusive material. Atherectomy systems target plaque modification via directional, laser, orbital, or rotational approaches, each tailored to specific lesion morphology and calcification burden. Balloon catheters provide luminal expansion using either bare or drug-coated designs, the latter delivering antiproliferative therapy directly to the vessel wall. Stent systems offer scaffold support through bare metal or drug-eluting frameworks, ensuring vessel patency in diverse lesion subsets.

End users span ambulatory surgical centers where outpatient interventions are increasingly feasible, hospitals providing comprehensive acute care services, and specialty clinics that focus on peripheral vascular disorders and high-risk limb salvage. The procedural landscape encompasses atherectomy techniques for plaque debulking, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for lesion dilation, stenting procedures for scaffold deployment, and thrombectomy procedures for clot extraction, reflecting the full spectrum of endovascular interventions performed across different care settings.

Clinical applications range from below-the-knee interventions that address infrapopliteal disease in critical limb ischemia, to femoropopliteal therapy targeting SFA and popliteal lesions, and infrapopliteal strategies designed for distal vessel revascularization. This multi-axis segmentation underscores the necessity for device portfolios that align with procedural complexity, anatomical location, and patient risk profiles, thereby guiding manufacturers and clinicians in optimizing treatment algorithms and resource allocation.

In the Americas, clinical infrastructure benefits from established reimbursement pathways and a mature network of vascular specialists performing over two million peripheral procedures annually, driven by high disease prevalence and a focus on outpatient endovascular care, as exemplified by the anticipated commercial launch of robotic systems in the U.S. to manage a large procedural volume. The region’s emphasis on value-based care and rapid adoption of novel therapies has fostered an environment conducive to iterative device improvements and streamlined regulatory approvals.

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa feature a heterogeneous landscape marked by advanced interventional centers in Western Europe, where atherectomy and drug-coated balloon usage have become standard practice, contrasted with reimbursement and access challenges in parts of the Middle East and Africa.
