Brief Summary
This study is designed to collect information during a procedure that is routine care for treating a blockage in a blood vessel in the upper part of the participant's leg. This study is for data collection reasons to help doctors gain better understanding of the treatment of disease in the blood vessels of the legs. You will be treated with two devices that are routine, or standard of care, for your doctor to treat blockages in the blood vessel of the leg. The treatment is for a blockage or narrowing caused by plaque build-up in the blood vessel. Data will be collected to assess what length of time the blood vessel will be prevented from re-narrowing through twenty-four (24) months after the procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Primary Patency
One-year primary patency (PSVR ≤2.4) and freedom from CD-TLR in subjects with long, moderate and severely calcified symptomatic femoropopliteal arterial stenoses and occlusions after treatment with DA+DCB.
One year
Freedom from MAE
Freedom from (MAEs) defined as freedom from flow-limiting dissections (D-F), vessel perforations, unplanned amputation, intra-procedure distal athero-embolization and clinically-driven TVR in subjects with long, moderate and severely calcified femoropopliteal lesions and occlusions through 30 day follow up.

Study Arms (1)
Non-randomized
OTHERDirectional Atherectomy + Drug Coated Balloon: DA followed by DCB will be performed in all enrolled subjects. DA includes the use of Intervention 'Medtronic HawkOne® or TurboHawk™. Medtronic Spider™ Distal Protection Device (DPD) is recommended for use according to IFU. Medtronic IN.PACT® Admiral® DCB will be used after DA. Volcano Visions® PV .014" IVUS catheter required to assess lesion in each procedure. Nitinol Stent Placement: Only FDA approved nitinol stents can be used if provisional stenting is required.
Interventions
Use of FDA Cleared Directional Atherectomy (DA) Devices. Medtronic HawkOne® Directional Atherectomy System or TurboHawk™ Plaque Excision System. DA followed by DCB will be performed in all enrolled subjects.
FDA Approved Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) Technology. Medtronic IN.PACT® Admiral® DCB will be used after DA.
It is recommended that the Medtronic Spider™ Distal protection device (DPD) be paired with DA when used in complex, calcified lesions (TurboHawk™ IFU).
Lesion IVUS assessment using the Volcano Visions® PV .014" IVUS catheter will be required in all cases.
Only FDA approved nitinol stents can be used if provisional stenting is required.

- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Renal failure or chronic kidney disease with GFR ≤30 ml/min or MDRD GFR ≤30 ml/min per 1.73m2 (and serum creatinine ≥2.5 mg/dL within 30 days of index procedure);
- Physician does not believe subject is an appropriate candidate for study;
- Previous infra-inguinal intervention in the index limb within 30 days of the planned femoropopliteal intervention
- Inability to cross lesion/occlusion with a guidewire or re-entry device;
- Inability for the guidewire to re-enter and/or remain in the true lumen prior to enrollment;
- In-stent restenosis of the target lesion, or recognition of any stent (patent or re-stenotic within the femoropopliteal segment of the index limb;
- Aneurysm located in the target vessel or aneurysmal vessel;
- Acute thrombus in the index limb prior to enrollment.
