  • One de-novo or restenotic SFA with an occluded length \> 5 to \< 22 cm;
  • Patent popliteal artery on the index side (without \> 50% stenotic (re) stenotic lesions) and at least single vessel infrapopliteal runoff (without \> 50% stenotic (re) stenotic lesions). However, balloon angioplasty to further improve the blood flow is allowed at the index procedure.

Exclusion
