- You have a severe narrowing of an artery, as determined by a special analysis called Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).The combined length of all the tumors in your body is between 80 and 150 millimeters.You have had surgery on the main artery in your leg to treat clogged arteries.You have a treatment plan that includes specific types of laser, brachytherapy, or atherectomy procedures, except for OAS or DAS.Your platelet count is too low or too high, or you have a history of bleeding problems.You have a known blood clotting problem.You are currently undergoing dialysis or taking medication that weakens your immune system.You have had bleeding in your head or stomach in the last 3 months.You have good blood flow to your ankle or foot with no planned surgery.You are 18 years old or older.You've had a stent placed in the area being studied.You have an aneurysm in the blood vessel being studied.The treatment is meant for fixing narrowed blood vessels with a stent in the arms or legs.The blood vessel has a sharp bend or twist that makes it unsafe to use the atherectomy device.You are allergic to medications that prevent blood clots.You have had a major injury, surgery, or organ biopsy in the last 14 days.You have ongoing symptoms of reduced blood flow in your legs.The area of concern is in the upper leg or behind the knee.The blood vessel being studied is between 3.0 and 6.5 millimeters in size.You are eligible for a specific type of procedure using a medical device called OAS or DAS, as directed by their guidelines.
