Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Other
PAD
This is a prospective single-arm multi-center clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Flexible Stenting Solutions Flext Stent® Femoropopliteal stenting system in subjects with lower limb peripheral arterial desease (PAD). Subjects targeted for enrollment must have a single de-novo lesion located in the superficial femoral artery and/or proximal popliteal artery with at > 70% stenosis. Subjects must meet all enrollment criteria and provide written informed consent prior to participation in the study.
