About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Peripheral Arterial Disease
Eligibility Criteria
General Description of Subject Population: Adults with symptoms of claudication and/or rest pain (Rutherford Classification 2, 3, or 4) (see Appendix 3) and angiographic evidence of an atherosclerotic lesion of the superficial femoral artery and/or proximal popliteal artery ≥70% diameter stenosis and < 100% stenosis.
Subjects must meet all of the following general eligibility criteria:
- Subject is at least 18 years of age.
- Subject (or legally authorized representative [LAR]) understands the study requirements and the treatment procedure and provides written informed consent before any study-specific tests or procedures are performed.

- Subject has laboratory test results that are within clinically acceptable limits.
- In investigator's opinion, subject is hemodynamically stable at the time of the index procedure.
- Subject has a life expectancy of ≥ 1 year in the opinion of the Investigator.
- Subject is able to tolerate the insertion of a 7F sheath into the common femoral artery (CFA), as determined by the investigator.
- Subject is able to undergo contralateral access, as determined by the Investigator.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects must not meet any of the following general eligibility criteria:
- Subject had cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 3 months prior to enrollment with any residual deficit involving the index lower extremity.
- Subject has any permanent neurologic defect that may impair ambulation and/or cause non-compliance with the protocol.
- Subject had a STEMI or NSTEMI within the last 3 months prior to enrollment.
