To assess the safety and effectiveness of adventitial deposition of the Study Drug in reducing inflammation and restenosis in patients with clinical evidence of claudication or critical limb ischemia and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. Study Drug and Dose: Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection, USP, 4 mg/ml, with dilute contrast (17%) administered to the adventitia in a dose of 1.6 mg per cm of desired vessel treatment length.
This trial will examine the ability for adventitial dexamethasone to safely delay restenosis in patients at least 18 years of age, who have peripheral atherosclerotic lesions involving the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. These patients have no current therapeutic alternatives beyond the procedure used to open, or revascularize, their superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. Metal stents have the potential to fracture when implanted in this artery segment due to continual flexion and bending of the knee. It is desirable to improve the patency of this artery after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and/or atherectomy-based revascularization.

Adventitial infusion of dexamethasone after angioplasty or atherectomy-based revascularization of the superficial femoral or popliteal artery.
MALE-POD
Acute safety safety outcomes will be determined by evaluating the type, frequency, severity, and relatedness of Major Adverse Limb Events or Peri-Operative Death (MALE+POD) within 30 days from the procedure for all subjects.
Time frame: 30 days
Duplex ultrasound index lesion binary restenosis
Binary restenosis will be judged by core laboratory interpretation with peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) greater than 2.4.
Time frame: 6 months
Duplex ultrasound index lesion binary restenosis
Binary restenosis will be judged by core laboratory interpretation with peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) greater than 2.4.
Time frame: 12 months
Long term safety
Long term safety outcomes that occur after 30 days through 6 months post-procedure will be determined by evaluating adverse events.
Time frame: 30 days to 6 months
Duplex ultrasound index lesion flow limiting restenosis
Flow limiting restenosis will be judged by core laboratory as PSVR\>4.0.
Time frame: 6 and 12 months
Change in inflammatory biomarkers
Change in inflammatory biomarkers will be measured with a panel of biomarkers in 1/3 of patients.
Time frame: Baseline and 24 hours
Vascular patency
Target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate, target extremity revascularization (TER) rate, limb salvage rate and primary patency (PSVR≤2.4 and no TLR) at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Note: provisional stenting performed during the index procedure shall not be considered to be TLR, TER or loss of primary patency.
