The 24-month results of the TOBA III trial support the safety and effectiveness of the Tack Endovascular System in patients who required post-PTA dissection repair in the SFA and PPA following DCB angioplasty for claudication and rest pain. In both the SL and LL cohorts, Tack placement was associated with sustained freedom from CD-TLR through 24 months as well as sustained improvements in Rutherford categories, ankle-brachial index, and quality of life.
