The LimFlow System is intended for endovascular, minimally invasive procedures in patients who have a clinical diagnosis of chronic limb-threatening ischemia and who have been determined to have no surgical or endovascular treatment option (i.e., "no option").
The objective of this US pivotal trial is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of The LimFlow System for creating an AV connection in the Below The Knee (BTK) vascular system using an endovascular, minimally invasive approach to arterialize the pedal veins for the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in subjects ineligible for conventional endovascular or surgical limb salvage procedures.

Amputation Free Survival (AFS)
freedom from major amputation and death at 6 months, compared to a historical performance goal.
Time frame: 6 months post-procedure
Primary Patency
Absence of occlusion of the endovascular intervention that is maintained without the need for additional or secondary surgical or endovascular procedures.
Time frame: 30 days post procedure
Primary Assisted Patency
Absence of occlusion of the endovascular intervention maintained with the use of additional or secondary surgical or endovascular procedures, as long as occlusion of the primary treated site has not occurred.
Time frame: 6 months post-procedure
Secondary Patency
Absence of occlusion of the endovascular intervention that is maintained with the use of additional or secondary surgical endovascular procedures after occlusion occurs.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Limb Salvage
The percentage of subjects with freedom from above-ankle amputation of the index limb.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Change in Rutherford Classification
A decrease in Rutherford class number (i.e.: from Rutherford class 5 to 4) is clinical improvement
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Technical Success
The successful creation of an arteriovenous fistula in the desired limb location with immediate morphological success.
Time frame: Immediately post-procedure
Procedure Success
Combination of Technical Success, and absence of all-cause death, above-ankle amputation or clinically driven major re-intervention of the stent graft.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Target Wound Healing
Complete healing of the patient's target wound

Freedom From Contrast-Induced Nephropathy
Subjects without acute (within 72 hours after intravenous contrast administration) impairment of renal function, measured as an absolute ≥0.5 mg/dL (44 µmol/L) increase compared to baseline SCr value that results in a value above the upper limit of the normal range.
Time frame: Within the first 72 hours post-procedure
Procedure Time
Time from the first puncture (venous or arterial) to when the last catheter is removed
Time frame: Immediately post-procedure
Radiation Exposure
Patient radiation exposure (measured in milligray)
Time frame: During the procedure
Contrast Volume
Total volume of contrast media (measured in milliliters)
Time frame: During the procedure
All Wound Area Reduction
Defined as reduction in area of the patient's wounds
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Primary Patency
Absence of occlusion of the endovascular intervention that is maintained without the need for additional or secondary surgical or endovascular procedures.
Time frame: 6 months post procedure
Secondary Patency
Absence of occlusion of the endovascular intervention that is maintained with the use of additional or secondary surgical endovascular procedures after occlusion occurs.
Time frame: 6 months post-procedure
