    Time frame: 6 months post-index procedure

    The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as freedom from the composite of above-ankle amputation, target lesion occlusion, and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization. All amputations included in endpoints refer to amputations in the index limb.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Lesions Considered Technical Success at Time of Index Procedure

    Time frame: At time of index procedure

    Technical Success: A success is determined if the device success was achieved and a final residual stenosis post study device (DCB or placebo) dilatation ≤ 30% was reported.

  2. Percentage of Procedures With Procedural Success at Time of Index Procedure.

    Time frame: At time of Index Procedure

    A success is determined if there is restoration of at least 1 infrapopliteal artery with residual stenosis ≤ 30% (or ≤ 50% depending upon the version of the protocol) and inline outflow to the foot, irrespective of device success, and without a major adverse event during the index procedure.

  3. Comparison of the Below the Knee (BTK) Major Adverse Limb Event (MALE) and Perioperative Death (POD) Rate to a Performance Goal at 30 Days Post Index Procedure.

Each dimension has 5 levels of ratings, that is, no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems that can be selected. A visual scale allows participants to report their own perception of their health status. The overall scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
