Measured: Day 0
Proportion of Participants With Technical Success
Defined as achievement of a final residual diameter stenosis of <50% (by core lab-assessed QA) without flow-limiting arterial dissection at the end of the procedure.
Measured: Day 0
Proportion of Participants With Procedure Success
Defined as evidence of both acute technical success and absence of Peripheral Academic Research Consortium major adverse events (PARC MAEs; e.g., death, stroke, myocardial infarction, acute onset of limb ischemia, index bypass graft or treated segment thrombosis, and or need for urgent/emergent vascular surgery) within 72 hours of the index procedure.
Measured: 72 hours

Measured: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months
Change in Target Limb Rutherford Class
Change in target limb Rutherford class from Baseline (BL) to 1, 6, 12, and 24 months.
Rutherford classification criteria categorize the severity of chronic limb ischemia based on a clinical description of symptoms and pre-defined objective criteria.
Possible scores range from 0 to 6 (with lower scores representing a better outcome) with scores defined as follows:
0 - Asymptomatic - no hemodynamically significant occlusive disease
- - Mild claudication
- - Moderate claudication
- - Severe claudication
- - Ischemic rest pain
- - Minor tissue loss, non-healing ulcer, or focal gangrene with diffuse pedal ischemia
- - Major tissue loss, extending above transmetatarsal) with all scores defined as follows:
Change = 1-Month scores - BL scores; 6-Month scores - BL scores; 12-Month scores - BL scores; 24-Month scores - BL scores
Measured: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months
Change in Target Limb Peripheral Academic Research Consortium (PARC) Class
Change in target limb PARC class from baseline to 1, 6, 12, and 24 months.
PARC definitions of clinical symptom classification were used to classify subject claudication at baseline and subsequent follow-up visits. PARC clinical symptom classification is used to capture information regarding lower extremity symptoms and broadly define functional limitations of patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Possible classifications (asymptomatic=best outcome to ischemic gangrene=worst outcome) include the following:
Asymptomatic Mild claudication/limb symptoms (no limitation in walking) Moderate claudication/limb symptoms (able to walk without stopping > 2 blocks or 200 meters or 4 minutes) Severe claudication/limb symptoms (only able to walk without stopping < 2 blocks or 200 meters or 4 minutes) Ischemic rest pain (pain in the distal limb at rest, felt to be due to limited arterial perfusion) Ischemic ulcers on distal leg Ischemic gangrene
Change =
Measured: Screening, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months
Decrease in Target Limb Resting Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) or Toe Brachial Index (TBI)
Decrease in target limb resting ABI or TBI ≥0.15 from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
Ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured at the ankle to that measured at the brachial artery.
Toe brachial index (TBI) is the ratio of SBP measured at the toe to that measured at the brachial artery.
if ABI could not be assessed, TBI could be used.
Measured: Screening, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months
Change in Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ)
Walking Impairment Questionnaire is a validated tool that has 4 domains (Walking Impairment, Walking Distance, Walking Speed, and Stair Climbing), each scored as a percent ranging from 0 (representing the inability to perform any of the tasks) to 100 (representing no difficulty with any of the tasks). A positive change in a score indicates an improvement.
Measured: Screening, 1 month, 12 months, and 24 months
Change in 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
Change in 6MWT from baseline to 12 and 24 months.
Measured: Screening, 12 months, and 24 months
Change in Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ)
The PAQ consists of 7 domains including physical function, stability, symptom, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, social limitation, and summary. Scores range from 0 to 100, with a positive change indicating an improvement. Questionnaire responses include: Extremely Limited, Quite a bit Limited, Moderately Limited, Slightly Limited, Not at all Limited, Limited for other reasons or did not do the activity.
Measured: Screening, 1 month, 12 months, and 24 months
