Primary Outcome Measures :
- Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Composite of Limb Salvage and Primary Patency [ Time Frame: At 1 year ]Composite of Limb Salvage and Primary Patency includes freedom from: above ankle amputation in index limb, 100% total occlusion of target vessel, binary restenosis of target lesion and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR).
- Primary Safety Endpoint: Freedom from MALE+POD (Major Adverse Limb Event + Peri-Operative Death) [ Time Frame: At 30 days (for POD) and 6 months (for MALE) ]MALE includes above ankle amputation in index limb, major re-intervention on index limb at 6 months and POD includes perioperative (30-day) mortality.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Powered Secondary Endpoint: Binary restenosis of the target lesion [ Time Frame: At 1 year ]Includes better evaluation of the device as binary restenosis can be used as a marker for disease progression over time.
- Powered Secondary Endpoint: Composite endpoint [ Time Frame: At 1 year ]Includes freedom from: above ankle amputation in index limb, 100% total occlusion of target vessel and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) at 1 year.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
General Inclusion Criteria:
- 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 up to two 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.
Anatomic Inclusion Criteria:
-
Up to two native infrapopliteal lesions, each lesion located in separate infrapopliteal vessel 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 a target lesion must not exceed 170 mm (total everolimus drug dose of 1790 µg).
- The total scaffold length among all target lesions must not exceed 170 mm.
- The target vessel cannot have any other angiographic significant lesions (≥50%).
- Tandem lesions are allowed if they are < 3 cm apart and the total scaffold length used to cover the entire diseased segment is ≤ 170 mm. Each tandem lesion is considered one lesion.
- 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 target lesion must be located ≥ 10 cm proximal to the proximal margin of the ankle mortise. The vessel segment distal to the target lesion must be patent all the way to the ankle, with no significant lesion (≥ 50% stenosis).
- 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 can be done within the same trial procedure.
- Non-target lesion(s) (if applicable) must be located in separate infrapopliteal vessel(s) from the target lesion, and suitable to be treated per institution standard of care.
- Guidewire must cross the target lesion successfully. Crossing in an antegrade fashion is preferred, but retrograde crossing may be used. However, the treatment must be delivered antegrade.
Exclusion Criteria:
General Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject is currently participating in another clinical investigation that has not yet completed its primary endpoint.
- Pregnant or nursing subjects and those who plan pregnancy during the clinical investigation follow-up period.
- Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements.
- Incapacitated individuals, defined as persons who are mentally ill, mentally handicapped, or individuals without legal authority, are excluded from the study population.
- Subject has had any amputation to the ipsilateral extremity other than the toe or forefoot, or subject has had major amputation to the contralateral extremity < 1 year prior to index procedure and is not independently ambulating.
- Subject has known hypersensitivity or contraindication to device material and its degradants (everolimus, poly (L-lactide), poly (DL-lactide), lactide, lactic acid) and cobalt, chromium, nickel, platinum, tungsten, acrylic and fluoro polymers that cannot be adequately pre-medicated. 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.

- Lesion that has prior metallic stent implant.
- Significant (≥ 50% stenosis) lesion in a distal outflow artery that would be perfused by the target vessel and that requires treatment at the time of the index procedure.
- Subject has had or will require treatment in any vessel with an everolimus drug-coated or drug-eluting device < 30 days pre-study procedure, or during the index procedure, such that the cumulative (Esprit BTK plus everolimus-eluting device) everolimus drug dose exceeds 1790 μg.
- Target or (if applicable) non-target vessel contains visible thrombus as indicated in the angiographic images.
- Subject has angiographic evidence of thromboembolism or atheroembolism in the ipsilateral extremity. (Pre- and post-angiographic imaging must confirm the absence of emboli in the distal anatomy).
- Unsuccessfully treated proximal inflow limiting arterial stenosis or inflow-limiting arterial lesions left untreated.
- No angiographic evidence of a patent pedal artery.
- Target or (if applicable) non-target lesion location requiring bifurcation treatment method that requires scaffolding of both branches (provisional treatment, without intention of scaffolding both branches is acceptable).
- Aneurysm in the iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal or target artery of the ipsilateral extremity.
- Visual assessment of the target lesion suggests that the investigator is unable to pre-dilate the lesion according to the vessel diameter.
