Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* suitable candidate for non-emergent, peripheral angioplasty * documented de-novo or restenotic peripheral CTO lesion with TIMI 0 flow for at least 90 days and satisfactory distal vessel visualization (collateral supply) * limb ischemia or claudication, Rutherford class I-III (grade 1-5) caused by the occluded artery
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Patients with a Major Adverse Events (MAE) | 30 Day | MAE is defined as death, major unplanned amputation, perforation requiring intervention, or target lesion revascularization due to complication. |
| Incidence of Intraprocedural Technical Success | Intraprocedural (<24 hours) | Technical success is defined as the placement of a guidewire in the true lumen distal to the CTO |
