Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Stenotic (> 50%) or occlusive atherosclerotic disease of the distal popliteal or infrapopliteal arteries
* A maximum of two focal target lesions in one or more distal popliteal or infrapopliteal vessels
* Length of lesion is maximally 55 mm, allowing maximally 2 stents to be implanted
* Reference vessel diameter should be 2.5 mm-4 mm

* The patient must be > 18 years of age
* Life-expectancy of more than 12 months
* The patient has no child bearing potential or negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of the index procedure
* The patient must be willing and able to return to the appropriate follow-up times for the duration of the study
* The patient must provide written patient informed consent that is approved by the ethics committee

Key exclusion criteria
* Patient refusing treatment
* The reference segment diameter is not suitable for available stent design.
* Unsuccessfully treated (>30% residual stenosis) proximal inflow limiting arterial stenosis
* Untreatable lesion located at the distal outflow arteries
* More than two infrapopliteal lesions in the same limb
* Previously implanted stent(s) or PTA at the same lesion site
* Lesion location requiring kissing stent procedure
* Lesion lies within or adjacent to an aneurysm
* Inflow-limiting arterial lesions left untreated
* The patient has a known allergy to heparin, Aspirin or other anticoagulant/anti-platelet therapies or a bleeding diatheses or is unable, or unwilling, to tolerate such therapies.
* The patient takes Phenprocoumon (Marcumar).
