Brief summary
A prospective, single center, single arm non-randomized trial collecting safety and effectiveness data for the ABLUMINUS DES System to treat BTK lesions in subjects with CLI.
Detailed description
The burden of limb loss as a result of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is high and this problem is set to worsen globally with increasing prevalence of diabetes. Treatment of PAD in diabetic critical limb ischemia (CLI) primarily involves revascularisation of the limb. Angioplasty as a first line strategy of revascularization over surgical procedures has been adopted by most vascular centers. Arterial blockages for diabetic CLI patients occur predominantly in below the knee arteries which can be challenging to treat effectively. This is due to the high incidence of arterial recoil after conventional balloon angioplasty due the natural tendency of the vessels to maintain their original shape and the high restenosis rates of calcified lesions. To address these problems the novel ABLUMINUS DES system is specifically designed to withstand the mechanical recoil of diseased BTK arteries whilst delivering sirolimus to biologically inhibit restenosis. This study postulates that the application of the ABLUMINUS DES system will be safe and will result in better vascular patency in BTK arteries for CLI patients. The investigators aim to conduct a prospective, all comers, single arm, single centre registry of the ABLUMINUS DES system for the treatment of BTK disease.
Interventions
Following successful plain balloon angioplasty of the arterial lesion, (defined as \<30% residual stenosis after treatment at rated burst pressure of the angioplasty balloon), the ABLUMINUS stent will be deployed at the lesion as per Instructions for Use (IFU) after appropriate sizing using the diameter of the plain balloon angioplasty. After deployment of the ABLUMINUS stent, further balloon angioplasty of the stent will be performed, using the same diameter standard balloon catheter at 2 minutes inflation, to ensure adequate moulding and expansion of the stent.

Intervention model description
During the index angioplasty revascularisation procedure of the limb salvage programme, the ABLUMINUS DES drug eluting stent will be deployed after successful conventional balloon angioplasty.
