Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients suffering from severe life-style limiting claudication indicating
revascularization as well as patients suffering from chronic critical ischemia and
having de-novo SFA obstruction with total length of 7-20 cm will be recruited.

- For claudicant patients an attempt of conservative treatment should be attempted
before revacularization therapy. Both surgical bypass operation and endovascular
treatment should be able to be safely performed;

- the patient has not extensive additional cardio-pulmonary and/or cerebro-vascular
diseases increasing remarkably operative risk.

- At least one patent artery is to the ankle level.

- The patient has given his/her informed consent.

- Previous or simultaneus endovascular therapy of coexisting iliac disease is not a
contraindication but study groups should be balanced.

- Unplanned common femoral artery endarterectomy is not a contraindication when it is
done at the same intervention to facilitate anastomosis creation.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who have not given their written informed consent.

- Patient has allergy for iodine contrast agent.

- Patient is undergoing hemodialysis.

- Patient has undergone previous endovascular treatment for the target lesion
(restenotic lesions).

- Patient has also infrapopliteal disease indicating revascularization.

- Patient is pregnant
