One-year primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency rates were 80.6%, 89.1%, and 95.7%, respectively, and 5-year rates were 54.8%, 68.9%, and 85.3%, respectively. Freedom from target lesion revascularization was 85.3%, 77.2%, and 63.0% at 1-, 2-, and 5-year follow-up, respectively. Major amputations were performed in 15\/1023 limbs (1.5%); 12 presented with chronic limb-threatening ischemia at baseline. Freedom from major adverse limb events was 82.4%, 72.5%, and 56.6% through 1-, 2-, and 5-year follow-up, respectively. Sustained clinical benefit was observed by improved ankle-brachial index and Rutherford classification throughout follow-up.
