Experimental: IN.PACT AV DCB
PTA will be performed using the IN.PACT AV Access Drug Coated Balloon. IN.PACT AV Access DCB was the device name used during the clinical study. Medtronic has changed the name of the device to IN.PACT™ AV Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheter (also referred as IN.PACT AV DCB). Hence, throughout posting, the study device will be referred to as the "IN.PACT AV DCB."
