Number of Participants With Procedure Success
Procedure Success defined as ≤50% residual stenosis for all treated target lesions without serious angiographic complications (flow-limiting dissection, perforation, distal embolization, or acute vessel closure) as assessed by the angiographic core lab at the final timepoint.
Time frame: 30 days
Number of Participants With Major Adverse Limb Events (MALE) + Post-Operative Death (POD)
Major Adverse Limb Events (MALE) + Post-Operative Death (POD) at 30 days defined as a composite of: * all-cause death * above-ankle amputation of the index limb * major reintervention (new bypass graft, jump/interposition graft revision, or thrombectomy/thrombolysis) of the index limb involving a BTK artery
Time frame: 30 days
Subjects Without Serious Angiographic Complications
Subject Success defined as final residual stenosis ≤ 50% in the target lesion without serious angiographic complications as assessed by the angiographic core lab. Serious angiographic complications include (flow-limiting dissection, perforation, distal embolization, or acute vessel closure) as assessed by the angiographic core lab
Time frame: 30 days
Number of Lesions With Technical Success
Lesion Success defined as final residual stenosis ≤50% in the target lesion without serious angiographic complications as assessed by the angiographic core lab
Time frame: 30 days
Number of Patients With Primary Patency
Primary Patency at 6 and 12 months defined as the absence of both total occlusion (100% diameter stenosis by DUS) in all of the target lesions in a flow pathway, as well as a Clinically-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (CD-TLR)
Time frame: 6 and 12 months
Number of Participants Free From Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (CD-TLR)
Clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) defined as a composite of: * CD-TLR * Major target limb amputation
Time frame: 30 days
Number of Participants With Major Adverse Events (MAE)
Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days defined as a composite of: * Need for emergency surgical revascularization of target limb * Unplanned target limb major amputation (above the ankle) * Symptomatic thrombus or distal emboli that require surgical, mechanical, or pharmacologic means to improve flow, and extend hospitalization * Perforations that require an intervention, including bail-out stenting
Time frame: 30 days
VascuQoL Reported as Change From Baseline
The VascuQoL-6 is a short, disease-specific questionnaire used to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), specifically those with intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia.
Time frame: 30 days, 6, 12 & 24 months
Ankle-brachial Index (ABI) Reported as Change From Baseline
The ABI is the ratio of systolic blood pressure measured at the ankle to systolic blood pressure measured at the brachial artery. Ideally, this ratio should be 1.0, but is often less in a subject with peripheral arterial disease.
Time frame: 30 days
Rutherford Category Reported as Change From Baseline
The Rutherford classification is a system used to categorize the severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD), specifically chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), based on symptoms and tissue loss. The classification ranges are from Class 0 where no symptoms of PAD are present and the patient has no claudication or tissue loss to Class 6 where patients have extensive tissue loss, including gangrene, that extends above the transmetatarsal level (the area above the bones of the foot). A higher score on the Rutherford Classification Scale is indicative of a worse outcome.
Time frame: 30 days
Toe-brachial Index (TBI) Reported as Change From Baseline
The TBI is the ratio of systolic blood pressure measured at the toe to systolic blood pressure at the brachial artery. Ideally, this ratio should be 1.0, but is often less in a subject with peripheral arterial disease.
