Inclusion Criteria

(1)Patients for whom written informed consent has been obtained from the individual regarding their participation in the clinical trial.
(2)Patients aged 18 years or older at the time of informed consent
(3)Individuals with critical limb ischemia meeting ischemia (Ischemia)grade 2 or 3 (ABI <0.6, SPP <40 mmHg) in the Comprehensive Advanced Chronic Leg Ischemia (Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia; CLTI) severity WIfI categorization (Ref. 15).
(4)Among patients for whom lower extremity arterial bypass is recommended, those who meet any of the following:
a.Global Vascular Guideline(GVG) GLASS(Global Anatomic Staging System) of (Ref. 8) the ischemic limb of stage III in the classification, which falls under WIfI classification clinical stage 2, 3 or 4
Ischemic limb of b.GLASS stage II that falls under WIfI class clinical stage 3 or 4
Ischemic limb of c.GLASS stage I or II that does not achieve adequate blood flow despite endovascular treatment (including clinical failure that does not lead to healing of the wound and does not improve clinical condition)
(5)Patients who meet the length and diameter (3 mm or higher) required for bypassing surgery and who do not have an optimal upper or lower extremity vein (for patients with chronic kidney disease stage G5, for patients with lower extremity vein) without abnormal findings such as varicocele, or who are judged to have no vein or difficult to harvest from a medical perspective based on the eligibility committee.
(6)Patients requiring peripheral anastomosis of bypass to the crural or pedal arteries below the knee
(7)Patients who are judged to be able to survive for at least 12 months and to be followed up for 12 weeks after bypass surgery at the time of informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

(1)Patients with a general condition in which it is difficult to ensure the duration of implantation of the test device required for biotube formation because of conditions requiring immediate revascularization, etc.
(2)Patients with general condition judged to be difficult to accept operative procedures due to severe undernutrition (CONUT score 8-12) (Ref. 19) or severe complications, etc.
(3)Patients who may not have two or more implant sites for the test device because of poor skin condition or history of exposure to subcutaneous implants in the past.
(4)Patients undergoing invasive surgical procedures within 30 days before enrollment (excluding procedures for foot wounds)
(5)Patients with no target arteries on the peripheral side required for bypass surgery or a history of endovascular treatment at the site of planned peripheral anastomosis
(6)Occlusion of the artery proximal to the planned site of anastomosis on the central side of bypass surgery
Thromboendothelial removal during bypass surgery in the present study,
By releasing the occlusion by artificial vascular bypass Unavoidable patient.
(7)Patients in whom blood circulation distal to the planned site of distal anastomosis of bypass surgery cannot be confirmed (excluding patients in whom collateral circulation can be confirmed)
(8)Patients undergoing lower limb amputation proximal to the midfoot
(9)Patients with a history or concomitant malignancy (excluding those with no recurrence or no new onset for more than 5 years after treatment)
(10)Patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs for complications of autoimmune diseases or after transplantation
(11)Patients with a history of allergy to stainless steel or polyolefin resin
(12)Patients who are pregnant or may be pregnant
(13)Patients who are or are scheduled to participate in other clinical trials or interventional clinical studies
(14)Other than the above, patients who are judged to be inappropriate for the purpose of this clinical trial by the principal investigator or a sub-investigator due to medical conditions, etc. or safety reasons.
