Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients who were referred to our department for endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal lesions due to claudication or critical limb ischemia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with acute or subacute limb ischemia, Patients with non-occlusive lesions, Patients with occlusive lesions in less than 2 femoropopliteal vessel segments or occlusive lesions with only mild or no calcification, Patients with restenosis or occlusions in regions with previous implanted stents, Patients with occlusion length<10 cm.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is vessel patency at 6 month follow-up (clinical evaluation). The primary endpoint will be assessed at 6 months after the intervention. The primary endpoint will be assessed through an interview by telephone. The patient will be asked if: - pain is present when walking - after how many meters does the pain start - is there an improvement - if wounds were present before the intervention, are the wounds closed - another intervention was necessary in the last 6 months (either endovascular or surgical) - a leg amputation occured

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
procedural time, radiation exposure and contrast agent administration, number and total length of implanted stents, peri- and postprocedural complications
