0
The second secondary efficacy measurement is decrease in Rutherford class score at 3, 6 and 12 months. Rutherford score is a classification system for patients with peripheral vascular disease.
Categories are numbered from 0 to 6, with 0 being asymptomatic, and 6 being major tissue loss, functional foot no longer salvageable. Higher values are therefore considered a worse outcome.
Rutherford class zero: No symptoms; Rutherford class 1: Mild Claudication (minimal leg pain with ambulation) symptoms; Rutherford Class 2: Moderate Claudication (moderate leg pain with ambulation); Rutherford Class 3: Severe claudication (severe leg pain with ambulation); Rutherford Class 4: Ischemic Rest pain (leg pain at rest); Rutherford Class 5: Minor tissue loss (nonhealing ulcer, focal gangrene, diffuse pedal ischemia); Rutherford class 6: Major tissue loss (extending above the transmetatarsal TM level, functional foot no longer salvageable.

The third secondary efficacy endpoint is wound healing for subjects with Rutherford class 5 at 6 and 12 months, as assessed by the investigator using WIfI score and descriptive characteristics, including change in wound size measured by any decrease in wound surface area.
The WIfI classification scoring system is a grading system using a composite score of wound (W), ischemia (I), and foot infection (fi). These three different categories are graded from 0 to 3 with 0 being the best and 3 being the worst.
The total score will be provided (clinical stage 1-5), which is used to estimate the risk for major amputation at one year. Patients with a score of 1 are considered low risk, and patients with a score of 5 are considered high risk (foot not salvageable). Therefore, higher values are considered a worse outcome.
The composite score is calculated by adding up the score from each category.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Subject is willing and able to provide informed consent and able to comply with the
study protocol.
2. Life expectancy >1 year in the investigator's opinion
3. Subject is > 18 years of age.
4. Subject is Rutherford class 3-5.
5. Stenotic, restenotic, or occlusive lesions located in the infrapopliteal vessels, with
target lesion that can be successfully crossed with a guidewire.
6. Target lesion must meet lesion-specific criteria in pre-screening by angiography
(pre-screening with CTA, MRA or selective angiography may be performed prior to the
index procedure)
7. Target vessel(s) reconstitutes(s) at or above the medial malleolus, with the target
treated segment extending no more than 10 mm beyond the medial malleolus.
Note: If the anterior tibial or posterior tibial arteries are treated, there must be
inline flow to the foot.
If the peroneal artery is treated, there must be at least one collateral supplying the
foot.
8. Target lesion must begin no higher than the tibioperoneal trifurcation (popliteal
arteries excluded).
9. Target vessel reference diameter is measured to be between 2.0 mm to 4.5 mm in
diameter, assessed by one of the following methods after successful completion of
guidewire crossing of the lesion site:
1. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
2. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
3. Quantitative Vascular Angiography (QVA).
10. Lesion length must be > 30 mm and < 150 mm.
11. Only one limb may be enrolled per subject. Up to two vessels may be treated per
subject; if required, a second modality may be used for treatment in the non-target
infrapopliteal vessel. Any treatment of the non-index vessel must be performed prior
to the use of the investigative device and only one artery may be treated with the
investigative device
12. The total treated segment is defined as the total length of artery treated with the
investigational device. Target treatment length is <240 mm with a maximum segment of
150 mm separated by 30 mm of healthy tissue between treated lesions.
13. Successful pre-dilatation of the target lesion as outlined in the procedure
instructions, defined as resulting in stenosis <50%, without resulting flow limiting
dissection (Type D or greater), thrombus, or aneurysm by angiography prior to the
insertion of the investigative device.
14. Iliac, SFA and popliteal inflow lesions can be treated using standard angioplasty
and/or an approved stent (no atherectomy) during the index procedure or >30 days
prior. Inflow lesions treated intraprocedure must be treated first, prior to
consideration of treatment of infrapopliteal lesions. If pre-screening with
angiography, CTA, MRA, or ultrasound has been performed <365 days prior to the
procedure, intra-procedure angiography of the aorto-iliac vasculature is not required,
however, the infrainguinal inflow must still be imaged using angiography during the
index procedure. Inflow lesions must have a healthy vessel segment of >30 mm between
the study lesion and the treated segment, defined as less than 50% stenosis without
aneurysmal segments.
15. Retrograde access (in the infrapopliteal arteries) is permitted for lesion crossing,
however, the Temporary Spur Stent System must be deployed from antegrade access
16. For subjects with bilateral disease, planned treatment of the contralateral limb must
either be performed >30 days prior to the index procedure or > 14 days following the
index procedure.

1. Subject unwilling or unlikely to comply with the appropriate follow up time for the
duration of the study in the opinion of the investigator.
2. Subject is pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the course of the trial.
3. Subject has an active infection that is not controlled at the time of the procedure,
including septicemia or bacteremia.
4. Subject has osteomyelitis or a heel wound.
5. Planned major (above the ankle) amputation of the target limb. A planned or previous
minor (transmetatarsal or digit amputation) is permitted
6. Recent myocardial infarction or stroke < 90 days prior to the index procedure.
7. Heart failure with Ejection Fraction < 35%
8. Impaired renal function (eGFR <25 mL/min) within 30 days of procedure and subjects on
dialysis
9. Subject with vasculitis, systemic Lupus Erythematosus or Polymyalgia Rheumatica.
10. Subject receiving chronic or intravenous corticosteroid therapy.
11. Inability to tolerate dual antiplatelet and oral anticoagulation therapy.
12. Known allergies or sensitivities to heparin, antiplatelet, or other anticoagulant
therapies which could not be substituted, and/or paclitaxel or an allergy to contrast
media that cannot be adequately pre-treated prior to the index procedure.
13. The subject is currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial that
may interfere with the endpoints of this study.
14. Known allergy to nitinol or nickel.
15. Prior stent(s) within the target vessel, or bypass surgery of or within the target
vessel(s)
16. Target lesion is located within an aneurysm or associated with an aneurysm in the
vessel segment either proximal or distal to the target lesion. Inflow must also be
free of aneurysmal segments.
17. Previous treatment failure of inflow arteries (Iliac, SFA and popliteal) which
required a surgical procedure. Prior bypass above the level of the infrapopliteal
arteries is permitted.
18. Previous treatment of inflow lesions, if not treated during the index procedure, must
have been performed >30 days prior to the index procedure.
19. Previous treatment of the target vessel <30 days prior to index procedure
20. Angiographic evidence of thrombus within target limb.
21. Inability to obtain antegrade access in the limb from which the investigative device
can be deployed.
22. Extremely severe calcification classified as grade 4 as measured by the Peripheral
Academic Research Consortium (PARC) score or the Peripheral Arterial Calcium Scoring
System (PACSS) that, in the investigator's opinion, would not be amenable to PTA.
23. Type D dissections or greater incurred during pre-dilation or CTO crossing.
24. Significant (>50%) stenosis of inflow arteries or unsuccessful treatment of inflow
lesions.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the Temporary Spur
Stent System (TSS). The TSS is intended for use in conjunction with a commercially available
drug coated balloon in the infrapopliteal arteries for the treatment of de novo or restenotic
lesions.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single arm trial, with sites in New
Zealand, Germany, and Switzerland.
At least two and no more than 10 sites are expected to participate, with 100 subjects
enrolled (no more than 40 at a single site).
The study follow up will take place over a period of 365 days. A vessel recoil substudy will
be included for a select group of subjects.
