23.Subject has had a stroke within the previous 30 days of the planned index procedure and/or has deficits for from a prior stroke that limits the subjects ability to walk.

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria:
1. Contralateral lesion distal to the location of inguinal ligament that requires treatment within 30 days before or after the procedure. (Contralateral iliac artery lesions may be treated during the procedure if necessary for contralateral approach to the target lesion).
2. Target extremity has an angiographically significant (> 50% DS) lesion located distal to the target lesion.
3. Acute ischemia of the target extremity.
4. Target extremity has been previously treated with any of the following:
•Surgical by pass or
•Endarterectomy
5. Target vessel has been previously treated with any of the following: stent, laser, atherectomy, surgical bypass, or endarterectomy.
6. Total occlusion (100 % DS) of the ipsilateral inflow artery.
7. Angiographic evidence of thrombus in target vessel.
8. The target lesion requires treatment with a device other than percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) (e.g. but not limited to, directional atherectomy, excimer laser, rotational atherectomy, brachytherapy, cryoplasty, etc.).
9. Target lesion is within or adjacent to an aneurysm.
10. Subject has angiographic evidence of thromboembolism or atheroembolism from treatment of an ipsilateral iliac lesion, or from crossing or pre-dilating the target lesion.
11. Target lesion has moderate-to-severe calcification with either of the following characteristics:
•Circumferential orientation.
•Thickness > 2 mm in either radial or longitudinal direction.
12. Subject has an abdominal aortic aneurysm > 3 cm or history of aortic revascularization.

Brief Summary  
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the systemic arteriosclerosis symptomatically affecting between 3% and 7% of the population and up to one in five patients older than 75 years of age. Mortality in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) is up to four times that in the nonclaudicants. Approximately 55% of claudicants may die from heart disease, 10% from a stroke, and 10% from abdominal vascular pathology. Percutaneous intervention (angioplasty and/or stenting) is the suggested treatment of choice in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) or critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Despite the high initial technical success rate of femoral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), elastic recoil of the vessel wall, extensive intimal dissection, restenosis and due to intimal hyperplasia remains the major limitations of this technique. Although the use of metallic stents has the ability to overcome acute limitations such as elastic recoil and dissection, long-term outcomes may be compromised by the development of neointimal hyperplasia and late restenosis. Several studies reported that excluding CLI, long-term outcomes of primary stent implantation and balloon angioplasty were similar.
Then the Self- Expanding Stents were evaluated by Stent Engineering. Self-expanding nitinol stents again improved endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal disease. Old generation balloon-expandable metal stents are no longer used in the femoropopliteal segment as they are susceptible to external compression and longitudinal axis deformation related to restenosis. New generation, self-expanding stents, manufactured from a nickel-titanium alloy (nitinol), demonstrate elastic and thermal memory properties suitable for the infrainguinal arterial bed. Nitinol stents conform their superior resistance to torsion, flexion, extension, contraction, and compression compared to stainless steel. Radial expansion of nitinol stents occurs with in situ intra-arterial stent heating and 10–20-fold increase in “spring-like” behavior of nitinol was achieved compared with stainless steel alloys, nitinol stents achieve the predefined nominal diameter once deployed without significant foreshortening. Overlap of nitinol stents must be minimized or ideally avoided as it relates to increased risk of fracture and site-specific restenosis. Suboptimal nitinol stent expansion was related to heavily calcified eccentric or ring-like concentric plaques. Finally, self-expandable stent technology demonstrates specific high resistance to deformation.
