Need for emergency surgical revascularization of the target limb Unplanned target limb amputation above the ankle Clinically driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) Cardiovascular related deaths

Number of Participants With Perioperative (Until Discharge) Freedom From Device/Procedure* Related Adverse Events (1)

(*NOTE: Device- or procedure-related AE refers only to the ATHERECTOMY PROCEDURE (with B-Laser™) and not the entire index procedure.) Clinically Significant Perforations requiring intervention Clinically Significant Dissections requiring intervention Clinically Significant Embolus requiring intervention Clinically Pseudo-aneurysm requiring intervention

Number of Lesions With Technical Success Rate: the Ability of the B-Laser™ Catheter to Cross the Target Lesion Stenosis Over the Wire.

The technical success will be evaluated visually by the performing physician during procedure by fluoroscopy. It is evaluated per lesion and not per subject

Secondary Outcome Measures

(*NOTE: Device- or Procedure-related AE Refers Only to the ATHERECTOMY PROCEDURE (With B-Laser™) and Not the Entire Index Procedure.) Emboli, defined as a new occlusion of any visualized runoff vessel which cannot be reversed with an intravascular vasodilator Flow limiting dissection

Change in Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) Post B-Laser™ Device Procedure Compared to Baseline

Change in Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) post B-Laser™ device procedure compared to baseline. ABI is calculated as the ratio of the ankle blood pressure to the arm blood pressure. The normal value ranges between 0.9 to 1.3. The change is calculated as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, when positive results represent increases while negative results represent decrease, so higher ABI score at the later time point represents an improvement through time and vice versa.

Change in Rutherford Classification Post B-Laser™ Device Procedure Compared to Baseline

Change in Rutherford Classification Post B-Laser™ Device Procedure Compared to Baseline. Rutherford Classification has seven stages, from Stage 0 to Stage 6, when the lower value indicate a better outcome: 0= Asymptomatic; 1= Mild claudication; 2= Moderate claudication; 3= Severe claudication; 4= Rest pain; 5= Ischemic ulceration not exceeding ulcer of the digits of the foot; 6= Severe ischemic ulcers or frank gangrene. The change is calculated as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, when positive results represent decrease while negative results represent increases, so lower Rutherford score at the later time point represents an improvement through time and vice versa.

Change in Grade of Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) Post B-Laser™ Device Procedure Compared to Baseline

Change in Grade of Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) Post B-Laser™ Device Procedure Compared to Baseline. WIQ score ranges from 0-100 with higher score indicating a better walking outcomes. The change is calculated as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, when positive results represent increases while negative results represent decrease, so higher WIQ score at the later time point represents an improvement through time and vice versa.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the use of the Eximo's B-Laser™ catheter in subjects affected with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in lower extremity arteries.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, international, open-label, non-randomized clinical study. All enrolled subjects will undergo atherectomy procedure, during which the B-Laser™ catheter will be used to perform atherectomy in target lesion, followed by any other adjunctive therapy (balloon and/or stent etc.). The procedure will be done according to standard hospital procedure for atherectomy. The steps of the operation before and after the operating of the B-Laser™ device are routinely used practice and will be done according to local practice at each hospital. For the post-atherectomy stage, as an adjunctive therapy in the procedure, any approved device may be used (balloon and/or stent etc.). Subjects will then be followed for 12 months after the procedure.
