After selection of the target arterial path (TAP), the segmental femoropopliteal (FP) and infrapopliteal (IP) grades are determined from high-quality angiographic images. Using the table, the combination of FP and IP grades is assigned to GLASS stages I to III, which correlate with technical complexity (low, intermediate, and high) of revascularization.
