- The primary safety endpoint is defined as freedom from all cause death, unplanned index limb amputation, and target lesion revascularization. [ Time Frame: through 30 days ]
- The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as stent patency via Color Duplex Ultrasound (Peak Velocity Ratio ≤ 2.5). [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Clinically-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (i.e., with documented preintervention evidence of at least 50% diameter stenosis (quantitative angiographic ≥ 50% or PSVR > 2.5). [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Change in Rutherford Classification compared to pre-implant. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Stent Patency via Color Duplex Ultrasound (Peak Systolic Velocity Ratio ≤ 2.5). [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Stent Fractures. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
Screening
- Patient must be ≥ 21 years of age with life expectancy > 1 year.
- Symptomatic leg ischemia requiring treatment of the superficial femoral and/or popliteal artery (Rutherford category 2-4; claudication, rest pain).
- Patient must be a suitable candidate for PTA and stenting.
- Patient is willing and able to return to the site of the investigation at the specified study intervals and undergo follow-up requirements.
- The patient or legal representative has provided written informed consent using a form that is reviewed and approved by the EC for the Clinical Site.
Pre-Intervention
- Target lesion has ≥ 50% stenosis as demonstrated angiographically.
- Lesion length ≤ 15 cm.
- Reference vessel diameter of 5 to 6 mm.
- Patient has at least 1 vessel run-off prior to treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
Screening
- The subject is pregnant or will become pregnant during the study or has any other condition that would preclude having x-rays. (Pre-menopausal women must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of the procedure.)
- Patients who have experienced a cardiovascular accident (CVA) or a myocardial infarction (MI) within 3 months prior to the procedure.
- Subject has had or plans to have a surgical or interventional procedure within 30 days before or after the implantation procedure of the SAMBA Stent.
- Existing hemorrhagic disease or coagulation problems or inability to take dual anti-platelet therapy.
- Contrast allergy that cannot be corrected with medication (e.g. steroids, etc.).
- Subject has other medical, social, or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude them from receiving this treatment and the procedures and evaluations pre- and post-treatment.
- Patient is currently participating in another investigational drug or device study.
Pre-Intervention
- Uncorrectable severe aorto-iliac occlusive disease or severe common femoral artery stenosis preventing access or limiting inflow (e.g., stenosis greater than 50%).
- Uncorrectable occlusive disease limiting outflow (e.g., stenosis greater than 50%)
- Patients with previous surgery in the target vessel or stent that will be closer than 2 cm to either edge of SAMBA Stent(s).
- Lack of 1 cm of healthy vessel proximal to proximal target
- Lack of popliteal reconstitution (at least 2 cm of normal distal popliteal).
- Inability to cross the lesion with a guidewire.
- More than 1 lesion in the same limb requiring treatment that will not be covered by continuous stenting.
- Unsuccessful balloon pre-dilation (i.e., the residual stenosis is greater than 30%).
