Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Primary patency	Evaluations will be conducted after 3, 6 and 12 months of the procedure. The ultrasonographic evaluation of the degree of stenosis will use the Systolic Velocity Index (division of the velocity of flow at the point of greatest stenosis by the velocity of flow in normal prior segment). Rates higher than 2.4 indicate stenosis greater than 50%	12 months
Secondary	Rutherford classification	Change in classification from Rutherford evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months.	12 months
Secondary	Ankle braquial Index	Change in the Ankle braquial Index evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months	12 months
Secondary	Target Lesion Revascularization	Target Lesion Revascularization rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months	12 months
Secondary	Stent fracture	Stent fracture rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months	12 months
Secondary	Amputation	Major amputation defined as amputation that requires prosthesis	12 months
Secondary	Acute myocardial infarct	Acute myocardial infarct rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months	12 months
Secondary	Death	Death rate evaluated in 3, 6 and 12 months	12 months
