Korean Multicenter Registry of EPIC Stent for Iliac Artery Disease: (K-EPIC Registry)

• Conditions: Iliac Artery Disease
• Interventions: Device: Epic stent (Boston Scientific)

• Registration Number: NCT02698358
• Lead Sponsor: Yonsei University

Brief Summary

* Prospective, single-arm, multi-center registry study

* A total of 150 subjects with iliac artery disease who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included.

* Patients will be followed clinically for 12 months after the procedure.

* Duplex ultrasound, CT or catheter-based angiography follow-up according to participating hospital's protocol will be performed at 12 months.

* Presence of stent fracture will be evaluated by plain radiography or fluoroscopy at 12 months.

* Quality of life by standardized questionnaires (at baseline \& at 1 \& 12 months)
