This pilot study will investigate the safety, effectiveness and feasibility of the LimFlow Stent Graft System for creating an AV fistula in the Below The Knee (BTK) vascular system using an endovascular, minimally invasive approach for the treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) in subjects ineligible for conventional endovascular or surgical limb salvage procedures.
The PROMISE I Trial was a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, investigational feasibility study assessing the LimFlow System for the treatment of chronic- limb-threatening ischemia by creating an arterio-venous fistula in the below-the-knee vasculature. The study was run under an investigational device exemption (IDE G160156, NCT03124875). Thirty-two subjects were enrolled under protocol revisions A, B, C, and D at seven sites in the United States between 5-July-2017 and 8-April-2019.

Amputation-free Survival
Percentage of subjects with freedom from above-ankle amputation of the index limb and freedom from all-cause mortality
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Amputation-free Survival
Percentage of subjects with freedom from above-ankle amputation of the index limb and freedom from all-cause mortality
Time frame: 6 months post-procedure
Primary Patency
Percentage of patients with absence of total occlusion of the stent graft without prior clinically-driven major re-intervention of the stent graft. Total occlusion is defined as absence of flow on color doppler or angiogram and clinically-driven major re-intervention is defined as creation of a new surgical bypass, use of thrombectomy or thrombolysis, or major surgical revision performed for occlusion of the stent graft.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
