What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 12-month Primary Patency Rate

    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.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. 12-month Limb Salvage Rate

    Limb Salvage is defined as the freedom from secondary major amputation

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Index Limb Ischemia at 6-month Follow up

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

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Index Limb Ischemia at 12-month Follow up

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

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Major Adverse Events at 12-month Post Procedure

    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.

    Time frame: 12 months
