Experimental: Concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA)
Collection of autologous bone marrow aspirate and point-of-care concentration using the bone marrow concentration device, followed by intramuscular injection of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) into the affected limb

Device: Bone marrow concentration device
Concentration of autologous bone marrow aspirate for intramuscular delivery to affected limb
Other Names:

Sham Comparator: Placebo control (sham)
Placebo procedure (sham) consists of simulated bone marrow aspiration followed by simulated intramuscular injections into the affected limb

Procedure: Placebo procedure (sham)
Sham bone marrow aspiration, sham delivery to affected limb |
- Time to treatment failure [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]"Treatment failure" defined as the composite of major amputation of the index limb or death
- Perfusion and quality of life measurements [ Time Frame: Throughout 52 week follow-up ]ABI, TBI, rest pain, 6 Minute Walk Test, VascuQol, minor amputations, time to major amputation of the index limb, time to death
- Long-term treatment failure [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Evaluations of long-term amputation-free survival will be assessed for a period of 5 years.
- Long-term perfusion and quality of life measurements [ Time Frame: 3 years ]ABI, TBI, rest pain, 6 Minute Walk Test, VascuQol, SF-36, wound assessment, minor amputations, time to major amputation of the index limb, time to death
