Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1) Provisional registration 1. Rutherford category 4 or 5 due to atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease. 2. SPP less than 50mmHg below ankle joint. 3.

|---|---|
| Procedural success rate of balloon angioplasty | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Primary Efficacy Endpoint 1. Change in residual diameter stenosis by quantitative vessel analysis (Core Lab) 2. Limb-salvage rate of the trial leg 3. Amputation-free survival 4. Change in visual analog scale (VAS) 5. Change in ankle-brachial index (ABI) 6. Change in skin perfusion pressure (SPP) 7. Change of Rutherford classification 8. Wound assessment 9. Change in residual diameter stenosis by visual estimation (on site) 10. successful lesion pass rate 2) Primary safety endpoint 1. Number of distal embolization after angioplasty 2. Number of re-occlusions after angioplasty 3. Number of serious adverse event (SAE) associated with the trial procedures 4. Number of deaths 5. Number of cardiovascular events 6. Number of major adverse limb events 7. Number of target vessel revascularization | — |
