About this trial

The objective of this prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to demonstrate the superiority of the VBX Device for primary patency when compared to bare metal stenting in complex iliac occlusive disease.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years at time of informed consent signature

Informed Consent Form (ICF) is signed by the subject

Subject can comply with protocol requirements, including follow-up

Patient has symptomatic claudication, rest pain, or minor tissue loss (Rutherford Category 2-5)

Disqualifiers

Life expectancy <1 year

Patient is pregnant at time of informed consent.

Patient has a known allergy to stent or stent graft components (including nitinol, stainless steel, or heparin).

Patient has severe chronic renal insufficiency (serum creatinine level > 2.5mg/dL) and not undergoing hemodialysis.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Stenting of the Common and/or External Iliac Arteries with the GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis

    Device

    Treatment of target lesions in the common and/or external iliac arteries by stenting with the GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis.

  • Stenting of the Common and/or External Iliac Arteries with Bare Metal Stent

    Device

    Treatment of target lesions in the common and/or external iliac arteries by stenting with a commercially available bare metal stent that is approved for treatment of the disease.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary Patency

Blood flow through the target lesion (no evidence of binary restenosis \>50% or occlusion) without a Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR).

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Technical success

Deployment of device with \< 30% residual stenosis on final angiography.

Time frame
at the procedure
2

Acute procedural success

Binary assessment based on technical success and freedom from device or procedure-related serious adverse events (SAE) requiring intervention.

Time frame
at the procedure
3

Clinical success

Improvement from baseline of at least 1 Rutherford Category and freedom from device or procedure-related SAE requiring intervention.

Time frame
Through 1 month
4

Hemodynamic Status

Change in Ankle-brachial index (ABI)/toe-brachial index (TBI) as compared to baseline

Time frame
Through 5 years
