Ki nem vehet részt

• Patient requires a planned procedure that would necessitate discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy
• Patient has undergone a percutaneous vascular intervention <30 days prior to the planned index procedure
• Patient has had a myocardial infarction within the previous 30 days of the planned index procedure
• Patient has had a stroke within the previous 30 days of the planned index procedure and/or has deficits from a prior stroke that limits the patient's ability to walk
• Patient is currently participating in an investigational drug, biologic, or device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints
• Target extremity has been previously treated with open surgical revascularization (bypass or endarterectomy)
• Target vessel has been previously treated with stent, laser, atherectomy, surgical bypass, or endarterectomy
• The target lesion requires treatment with a device other than percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) [e.g., orbital atherectomy, directional atherectomy, excimer laser, rotational atherectomy, cryoplasty, etc.]
• A known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, bivalirudin, ticagrelor or sirolimus, or with contrast sensitivity for which the patient cannot be adequately pre-medicated
• Patient has unstable angina defined as rest angina with ECG changes
• Patient has a local groin or acute systemic infection that has not been treated successfully or is currently under treatment
• Patient has acute thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis or chronic venous insufficiency in either extremity
• Patient has other medical illnesses (e.g., cancer, congestive cardiomyopathy, etc.) that may cause the patient to be non-compliant with protocol requirements, confound the data interpretation or will prevent completion of all required follow up assessments through 36 months
• Patient has angiographic evidence of thromboembolism or atheroembolism from treatment of an ipsilateral iliac lesion or from crossing or pre-dilating the target lesion
• Hemoglobin <9.0 g/dL

• Patient is maintained on chronic hemodialysis
• Patient has ischemic or neuropathic ulcers on either foot
• Patient has undergone minor or major amputation of either lower extremity
• Patient is part of a vulnerable population who, in the judgment of the Investigator, is unable to give informed consent
• Target extremity with an angiographically significant (>50% DS) lesion located distal to the target lesion that requires treatment at the time of the index procedure or by a staged procedure
• Acute arterial ischemia of the target extremity
• Total occlusion (100% DS) of the ipsilateral inflow artery
• Angiographic evidence of thrombus in the target vessel
• Target lesion is within or adjacent to an aneurysm
