Outcome results

Primary

Composite Rate of Major Adverse Events

Composite rate of major adverse events (MAEs) related to the OffRoad System at 30 days, including: death, perforation requiring intervention, clinically significant peripheral embolism, and major amputation (amputation of the treated lower limb at the ankle level or above). Events are based on data adjudicated by a Clinical Event Committee.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: The primary endpoints were analyzed on an intent-to-treat (ITT) basis. All subjects who signed and dated the written Informed Consent Form (ICF) and had any part of the OffRoad System introduced into the body were included in the ITT analysis. 2 participants were not evaluable (No follow-up ≥ 23 days and events-free within 30-day)
