This is the primary effectiveness endpoint which is defined as the absence of in-stent restenosis (≥ 50%) as determined by duplex ultrasonography or arteriography and without clinically driven TLR. The vessel patency rate was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method with the standard error estimated using the Greenwood formula.

A measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs and is used to detect evidence of blockages in the peripheral vessels. It is calculated by dividing the higher systolic blood pressure in the ankle (dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial) of the one leg by the higher of the two systolic blood pressures in the arms.

ABI=Highest Ankle Systolic Pressure/Highest Brachial Systolic Pressure. The ABI is the ratio of the ankle to arm pressure, and an ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 is considered normal. A reduced ABI (less than 0.9) is consistent with peripheral artery occlusive disease, with values below 0.8 indicating moderate disease and below 0.5 severe disease.

A value greater than 1.3 is considered abnormal suggesting calcification of the walls of the arteries and noncompressible vessels, reflecting severe peripheral vascular disease. For patients in whom the ABI cannot be accurately measured , toe pressure measurement and toe brachial index should be used.

The target lesion is defined as the treated segment from 5 mm proximal to the stent and to 5 mm distal to the stent.

Measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), a disease-specific instrument utilized to characterize walking ability through a questionnaire as an alternative to treadmill testing. It is a measure of subject-perceived walking performance for subjects with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and/or intermittent claudication. The WIQ quantifies patient-reported walking speed, walking distance, and stair-climbing ability, respectively, on a scale of 0 (= worst) to 100 (= best). The highest possible score for each domain is 100%, which indicates no difficulty. Lowest possible score for each domain is 0%, which indicates inability to perform the activity.

Vascular Quality of Life (VascuQol) : A standardized, validated questionnaire used to evaluate vascular disease-specific health outcomes. VascuQol total score includes scores of Activity Domain, Symptom Domain, Pain Domain, Emotional Domain and Social Domain. Each item is rated as a 7 point response scale, with a score of 1 being the worst and a score of 7 the best possible. The total average score is the sum of all 25 items scores divided by 25. For each separate domain an average score can be calculated (sum of all items of one domain divided by the number of items of that domain). The highest score for each domain is 7, which indicates best health outcome.

A measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs and is used to detect evidence of blockages in the peripheral vessels. It is calculated by dividing the higher systolic blood pressure in the ankle (dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial) of the one leg by the higher of the two systolic blood pressures in the arms.

ABI=Highest Ankle Systolic Pressure/Highest Brachial Systolic Pressure. The ABI is the ratio of the ankle to arm pressure, and an ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 is considered normal. A reduced ABI (less than 0.9) is consistent with peripheral artery occlusive disease, with values below 0.8 indicating moderate disease and below 0.5 severe disease.

A value greater than 1.3 is considered abnormal suggesting calcification of the walls of the arteries and noncompressible vessels, reflecting severe peripheral vascular disease. For patients in whom the ABI cannot be accurately measured , toe pressure measurement and toe brachial index should be used.

ITT population, per subject analysis. The number of participants analyzed includes the subjects with available follow-up data at that time-point. ABI > 1.3 was excluded from the analysis.

For patients in whom the ABI cannot be accurately measured , toe pressure measurement and toe brachial index should be used.

ITT population, per subject analysis. The number of participants analyzed includes the subjects with available follow-up data at that time-point. ABI > 1.3 was excluded from the analysis.

A measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs and is used to detect evidence of blockages in the peripheral vessels. It is calculated by dividing the higher systolic blood pressure in the ankle (dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial) of the one leg by the higher of the two systolic blood pressures in the arms.

ABI=Highest Ankle Systolic Pressure/Highest Brachial Systolic Pressure. The ABI is the ratio of the ankle to arm pressure, and an ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 is considered normal. A reduced ABI (less than 0.9) is consistent with peripheral artery occlusive disease, with values below 0.8 indicating moderate disease and below 0.5 severe disease.

TLR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion. All TLR should be prospectively classified as clinically-driven or not clinically-driven by the investigator prior to repeat angiography. An independent angiographic core laboratory will verify that the severity of percent diameter stenosis meets requirements for clinical indication and will overrule in cases where investigator reports are not in agreement. The target lesion is defined as the treated segment from 5 mm proximal to the stent and to 5 mm distal to the stent.

Measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), a disease-specific instrument utilized to characterize walking ability through a questionnaire as an alternative to treadmill testing. It is a measure of subject-perceived walking performance for subjects with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and/or intermittent claudication. The WIQ quantifies patient-reported walking speed, walking distance, and stair-climbing ability, respectively, on a scale of 0 (= worst) to 100 (= best). The highest possible score for each domain is 100%, which indicates no difficulty. Lowest possible score for each domain is 0%, which indicates inability to perform the activity.
