Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Patients of any race or sex, and any age above 18 years, who electively undergo a single-lesion PTA of the anterior or posterior tibial artery - The lesion is no longer than 3 cm - Critical limb ischemia defined as Fontaine class 3 or 4 - Patients provide informed consent - Kidney function with eGFR > 30 ml/min, allowing contrast iodine to be used unless patient is dependent on dialysis without residual diuresis

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Acute limb ischemia - Revascularization involving the same limb within 30 days prior to the index procedure - Known allergy to iodine contrast - Previous implanted stent at the index site - Previous major amputation in the same limb as the index site - Pregnant patients

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main question to be answered is: *Is OCT safe to use in PTA procedures in patients with critical limb ischemia in below the knee arteries in the Zuyderland Medical Center, and what is the effect of OCT on intraoperative decision-making?*

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
For the secondary objectives, the following questions will be answered. - What is the difference in millimeters between the measured diameter of the vessel using OCT and the estimation of the surgeon based on DSA? - In what percentage of cases would intraoperative decision making have been altered knowing the OCT measurement in terms of balloon and stent sizing, stent placing and the surgical endpoint?
