GORE® VIABAHN® Device family

Join the next generation of care in the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease

The  GORE® VIABAHN® Device family of covered stent grafts offers the flexibility and conformability to safely and confidently address even the most complex cases.1,2†

Complex aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) can be challenging to treat. For TASC II C and D lesions, guidelines recommend surgery, although multiple consensus and practice guidelines now generally endorse an endovascular-first strategy in experienced endovascular centers.3-6 Covered stents offer promising advantages over bare metal stents.1,7,8 The GORE® VIABAHN® Device family† is at the forefront of this next generation of care.

When to consider covered stents:

*As used by Gore, PROPATEN Bioactive Surface refers to Gore’s proprietary CBAS Heparin Surface.

†The GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis indication includes de novo or restenotic lesions in iliac arteries, including those at the aortic bifurcation. The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis indication includes lesions in the iliac arteries only. See product indications.
