The GORE Viabahn Endoprosthesis for the Treatment of Venous Occlusions and Stenoses

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Venous Thrombosis
Interventions
Device: Gore Viabahn Heparin Coated Stent
Registration Number
NCT01406795
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

To study the safety and efficacy of drug coated stents for the treatment of venous occlusions and stenoses in the lower extremity. The use of the device for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease is approved by the FDA, however, the use of the device in venous occlusions and stenoses, although performed by some practitioners, has not yet been studied in detail.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patient is at least 18 years old
  • Patient has clinical manifestations (i.e. symptoms and/or signs) of chronic DVT of an extremity. The Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) will be used to determine if the patient is currently suffering from chronic DVT, with a VCSS score of 4 or greater necessary for inclusion.
  • Imaging confirmation of venous occlusion or stenosis (>50%) involving the femoral, and/or popliteal veins
  • Obstructed vessel caliber can accommodate a 7FR System, from insertion site to target segment
  • Patient is able to read and answer a questionnaire in English

  • Participating in another investigational study that has not completed follow-up testing
  • Cannot receive outpatient anticoagulation such as LMWH and/or vitamin K antagonists (VKAs)

Venous Stent ArmGore Viabahn Heparin Coated StentThe study is a single treatment arm study and the venous stent will be placed in all eligible participants.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Stent Migrationup to one year following the procedure 1 year

Stent migration is reported as the count of participants with stent migration within 1 year following stent placement.

Primary Patency Rateup to 1 year following the procedure

Patency refers to whether the stent is unoccluded (open). Primary patency rate was defined as the count of participants with \>= 50% patency following initial stent placement, and is reported as the count of participants meeting this criteria.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary Patencyup to 1 year

Secondary patency means that the initial intervention failed and a second intervention was performed to establish or maintain patency. Secondary patency is defined as the count of participants that required a second intervention to establish patency.

Decrease in Swelling of Affected Extremityup to 2 years

The count of participants that experienced a decrease in swelling after the stent was placed.

Freedom From Device-related Amputationup to 1 year following the procedure

Freedom from device-related amputation (amputation of infected limb) is reported as the count of participants with no device-related amputation within 1 year following stent placement.

Assisted-primary Patencyup to 1 year

Patency refers to whether the stent is unoccluded (open). Primary refers to the first time a stent was placed (or the first time patency needed to be established). Assisted refers to the fact that a device (like a balloon) was used to open the stent. Assisted-primary patency is defined as the count of participants that demonstrated the need for an intervention to establish patency.

Adverse Eventsup to two years 2 years

Adverse events were reported as the count of participants that experienced an adverse event within two years of their procedure.

Venous Clinical Severity Scoreup to 2 years

Venous Clinical Severity represents the severity of the venous pathology, which includes measures like pain, inflammation, and number of ulcers. It is scored on a scale of 0-3 with the upper end representing very severe outcomes for the patient.

VEINS-QOLUp to 2 years

The VEINS-QOL is a questionnaire that represents a patient's quality of life, using measures like how well the patient can walk, sleep, and enjoy life. Responses are graded on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being very good, and 5 being very poor. The VEINS-QOL measure is defined by the count of participants that showed a decreased overall score following their procedure.

Villalta PTS Scaleup to 2 years

The Villalta PTS Scale is a score based on the patient's symptoms, includes cramps, pain, and redness. It is scaled from 0 to 48, with a higher score representing more severe disease.
