Brief summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Complete SE SFA Stent System in the treatment of de novo and/or restenotic lesions or occlusions in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and/or Proximal Popliteal Artery (PPA) in subjects with symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Detailed description

The Complete Self-Expanding (SE) SFA Stent is designed to be a permanent implant. It is cut from a nickel titanium alloy (Nitinol) tube and consists of a series of segments each connected to the next in a unique pattern to allow for flexibility and vessel conformability. Each segment consists of two struts and a crown (Figure 1). It is designed to produce optimal luminal diameter and increased scaffolding, and to maintain luminal patency.
