This is a clinical study of a new self-expanding stent (FlexStent®) designed specifically to cope with the extreme demands of the superficial femoral artery (SFA)/proximal popliteal artery. The arteries are often abbreviated as femoropopliteal. The intent of this study is to demonstrate that the FlexStent® Femoropopliteal Self-Expanding Stent System is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Specifically, the FlexStent® shall meet or exceed the proposed safety and efficacy performance goals established for Femoropopliteal bare nitinol stents in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.

The primary safety endpoint is freedom from all cause death, TLR, or index limb amputation through 30 days.
The primary safety endpoint is defined as freedom from all cause death, index limb amputation and target lesion revascularization (TLR) through 30 days. The proportion of patients remaining free from this composite endpoint will be compared to a safety performance goal for bare nitinol stents.
Time frame: 30 Days
The primary efficacy endpoint is vessel patency at 12 months.
The primary efficacy endpoint is vessel patency at 12 months. Vessel patency is defined as freedom from a greater than 50% restenosis in the stented segment as determined by the DUS peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) comparing data within the treated segment to the proximal normal arterial segment and freedom from clinically-driven TLR within the stented segment within 1 year of the procedure.
Time frame: 12 Months
