Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
12-month Primary Patency Rate12 months

Primary patency is defined as no significant reduction of flow detectable by Duplex ultrasound through the index lesion and no further clinically driven target vessel revascularization performed in the interim. Significant reduction of flow is binary restenosis defined as the diameter stenosis \>50% with a peak systolic velocity ratio \>2.4 as measured by Duplex ultrasound.

12-month Limb Salvage Rate12 months

Limb Salvage is defined as the freedom from secondary major amputation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major Adverse Events at 12-month Post Procedure12 months

Major adverse events included death, index limb ischemia, index limb amputation, clinically driven target lesion revascularization , and significant embolic events, which were defined as causing end-organ damage.

Index Limb Ischemia at 6-month Follow up6 months

Index Limb Ischemia is defined by Rutherford/Becker Classification categories 3 through 6.

Index Limb Ischemia at 12-month Follow up12 months

Index Limb Ischemia is defined by Rutherford/Becker Classification categories 3 through 6.
