The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Symvess in sexually mature adolescents (17 years of age or younger) who require a vascular conduit to repair an extremity arterial injury when autologous vein graft is not available.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
Safety and tolerability of Symvess in adolescent patients? Determine patency of Symvess over 12-months Evaluate the long-term amputation-free rate Determine the ability of Symvess to remain infection-free
Participants will undergo implantation of Symvess to repair an arterial injury in an extremity using standard surgical techniques. Following implantation, patients will be followed for up to 12-months where they will undergo standard safety assessments, patency assessments using Duplex Ultrasound, and examination of the surgical site.
Patients 17 years of age or younger who have reached adult sexual maturity (i.e., Tanner Sexual Maturity Rating Stage 5) as determined by the Investigator
Patients with extremity arterial injury requiring urgent revascularization to avoid imminent limb loss
Preoperative imaging or clinical examination indicates the damaged vessel has a defect length of ≤ 38cm and is appropriately size matched to the 6mm SYMVESS per the judgment of the treating surgeon, taking into account vasoconstriction and situational inflow and outflow considerations
Autologous vein graft is either not feasible, in the judgment of the treating surgeon (e.g. because of lack of availability of suitable conduit) or is not desirable because of the urgency of revascularization
Limb at high risk of amputation despite vascular reconstruction evidenced by Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) of ≥ 7
Injury Severity Score (ISS) >60
Known pregnant females
Known medical condition which would preclude long term antiplatelet therapy after resolution of acute injuries
