Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients suffering from severe life-style limiting claudication indicating revascularization as well as patients suffering from chronic critical ischemia and having de-novo SFA obstruction with total length of 7-20 cm will be recruited.
  • For claudicant patients an attempt of conservative treatment should be attempted before revacularization therapy. Both surgical bypass operation and endovascular treatment should be able to be safely performed;
  • the patient has not extensive additional cardio-pulmonary and/or cerebro-vascular diseases increasing remarkably operative risk.
  • At least one patent artery is to the ankle level.
  • The patient has given his/her informed consent.
  • Previous or simultaneus endovascular therapy of coexisting iliac disease is not a contraindication but study groups should be balanced.
  • Unplanned common femoral artery endarterectomy is not a contraindication when it is done at the same intervention to facilitate anastomosis creation.

Exclusion

  • Patients who have not given their written informed consent.
  • Patient has allergy for iodine contrast agent.
  • Patient is undergoing hemodialysis.
  • Patient has undergone previous endovascular treatment for the target lesion (restenotic lesions).
  • Patient has also infrapopliteal disease indicating revascularization.
  • Patient is pregnant
