- Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Device and Procedure-related Death and Freedom From Target Limb Major Amputation and Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization [ Time Frame: Through 12 months post-procedure. ]Freedom from device and procedure-related death through 30 days post-procedure and freedom from target limb major amputation and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) through 12 months post-procedure.
- Percentage of Lesions Free From Restenosis [ Time Frame: 12 months post-procedure. ]Primary patency at 12 months post-procedure. Primary patency is defined as the absence of target lesion restenosis per duplex ultrasound (peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) ≤ 2.5) and freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization.
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint [ Time Frame: 12 months post-procedure ]The secondary efficacy outcome was freedom from target lesions revascularization (TLR) at 12 months post-procedure and compared to a performance goal.
