Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

To see if restenosis rates of superficial femoral artery atherosclerosis with percutaneous techniques can be improved using paclitaxel.

Detailed Description

Treatment of superficial femoral artery atherosclerosis with percutaneous techniques is hindered by high restenosis rates. Paclitaxel inhibits restenosis in coronary arteries, and a few studies suggest it may be effective in reducing restenosis rates in peripheral arteries. The investigators hypothesize that delivering paclitaxel through an irrigating catheter will be superior in preventing restenosis.
