Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Maximal Blood Everolimus Concentration (Cmax)
Maximal observed blood analyte concentration. Cmax is the highest blood everolimus concentration reached during the 60 day period of the study after assessing at different time frames (0 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs , 12 hrs, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days post implantation).
0 to 60 days
Area Under the Blood Concentration Time Curve From Administration to the Concentration at 24 Hours (AUC0-24h)
Area under the blood analyte concentration vs. time curve from time 0 up to 24 hours post Esprit BTK implantation. Calculated by the Lin Up Log Down trapezoidal method.
0 to 24 hours
Area Under the Blood Concentration Time Curve From Administration to Last Observed Concentration at Time t (AUCt)
Area under the blood analyte concentration vs. time curve from time 0 up to the last quantifiable concentration reached during the 60 day period of the study. After assessing at different time frames (0 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs , 12 hrs, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days post implantation). Calculated by the Lin Up Log Down trapezoidal method.
0 to 60 days
Area Under the Blood Everolimus Concentration vs. Time Curve From Time Zero and Extrapolated to Infinity (AUCinf)
Area under the blood analyte concentration vs. time curve from time zero and extrapolated to infinite time, reached during the 60 day period of the study. After assessing at different time frames (0 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs , 12 hrs, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days post implantation). calculated as: AUC0-∞ = AUClast + (Clast/λz) The percentage of AUC0-∞ obtained by extrapolation (%AUC0-∞ex) is calculated as: %AUC0-∞ex = (AUC0-∞ - AUClast)/ AUC0-∞ \* 100
0 to 60 days
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Whole-Blood Concentration (Tmax)
Time to reach the maximal observed blood analyte concentration during the 60 day period of the study after assessing at different time frames (0 minute,10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs , 12 hrs, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days post implantation).
0 to 60 days
Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2term)
The apparent terminal elimination half-life, reached during the 60 day period of the study. After assessing at different time frames (0 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs , 12 hrs, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days post implantation). calculated as: t1/2term = 0.693/λz.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject must provide written informed consent prior to any clinical investigation related procedure
- Subject has symptomatic Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), Rutherford Becker Clinical Category 4 or 5
- Subject requires primary treatment of one or more de novo or restenotic (treated with prior PTA) infrapopliteal lesions
- Subject must be at least 18 years of age
- Female subject of childbearing potential should not be pregnant and must be on birth control Note: Female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to the index procedure per site standard test.
- One or more native infrapopliteal lesions, including de novo lesions in the same limb. Restenotic (from prior PTA) lesions are allowed.
- Lesion must be located in the proximal 2/3 of native infrapopliteal vessels, with vessel diameter of ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 4.00 mm by investigator visual assessment.
- Total scaffold length to completely cover/treat target lesion(s) must be between 170 and 256 mm (maximum total everolimus drug dose of 2714 µg).
- The target vessel can have any other angiographic significant lesions (≥50%) that should be treated per institution standard of care prior to treatment of the target lesion.
- Tandem lesions are allowed and the total scaffold length used to cover the entire diseased segment must be ≤ 256 mm.
- Target lesion(s) must have ≥ 70% stenosis, per visual assessment at the time of the procedure. If needed, quantitative imaging (angiography, IVUS, and/or OCT) can be used to aid accurate sizing of the vessels.
- The distal margin of the scaffold must be located ≥ 10 cm proximal to the proximal margin of the ankle mortise. If the vessel segment distal to the target lesion has a significant lesion (\> 50% stenosis), it should be treated per institution standard of care prior to deployment of the scaffold.
- Significant lesion (≥ 50% stenosis) in the inflow artery(ies) must be treated successfully (as per physician's assessment of the angiography) through standard of care prior to the treatment of the target lesion. Treatment must be done within the same trial procedure. Treatment allowed for inflow artery lesions are PTA, atherectomy, cutting/scoring balloon, Shockwave balloon, bare metal stent, drug-eluting stents or drug-coated balloon. Everolimus-coated or eluting devices are not allowed.
- It is acceptable for non-target lesion(s) (if applicable) to be located in the same infrapopliteal vessel(s) as the target lesion, and suitable to be treated per institution standard of care. Non-target lesions must be treated successfully prior to target lesions and not requiring re-cross of the scaffold.
- Crossing of the target lesion in an antegrade fashion is preferred, but retrograde crossing may be used. However, the treatment must be delivered antegrade.

Subject has a known contrast sensitivity that cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
- Subject has known allergic reaction, hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin; or to ADP antagonists such clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor; or to anticoagulants such as heparin or bivalirudin, and therefore cannot be adequately treated with study medications. Subject with planned surgery or procedure necessitating discontinuation of antiplatelet medications, within 12 months after index procedure. Planned amputation that will necessitate discontinuation of antiplatelet medications is allowed.
- Subject has life expectancy ≤ 1 year.
- Subject has had a stroke within the previous 3 months with residual Rankin score of ≥ 2.
- Subject has renal insufficiency as defined as an estimated GFR \< 30 ml/min per 1.73m\^2.
- Subject is currently on dialysis.
- Subject has platelet count \< 100,000 cells/mm\^3 or \> 700,000 cells/mm\^3, a WBC \< 3,000 cells/mm\^3, or hemoglobin \< 9.0 g/dl.
- Subject has known serious immunosuppressive disease (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus), or has severe autoimmune disease, that requires chronic immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.), or subject is receiving immunosuppression therapy for other conditions. Subjects treated for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and who have undetectable viral load, such that their immune system is not considered compromised, are eligible.
- Subject has Body Mass Index (BMI) \<18.
- Subject is receiving or scheduled to receive anticancer therapy for malignancy within 6 months prior to index procedure or within 1 year after the procedure. Patients taking medications classified as chemotherapy but who have been in remission for at least 6 months are eligible.
