≤ 30% residual stenosis due to high radial strength, even in highly calcified and non-compliant lesions.
The Gore VBX FLEX Clinical Study is a prospective, multicenter, single arm study of 134 patients with complex aortoiliac occlusive disease (32.1% TASC II C and D, 42.5% kissing stent).
In the study, 234 devices were delivered; 50% bilateral treatment, 18% contralateral deliveries and predilitation was not required.
maintenance of stent length1
Median length change was 0 mm, predeployed to final implant
stent delivery
- 100% delivery to target lesion with no device dislodgement1
- 100% stent retention1
- 100% deployment at the target site1
