Join the next generation of care in the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease
The latest generation of covered stent grafts
GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis (VBX Stent Graft)
Decide with data
The Gore VBX FLEX Clinical Study 3-year follow-up found the VBX Stent Graft to be a robust and durable treatment option for AIOD.1 Now, sustained patient benefit and durability are demonstrated through 5 years.
Investigator Insights
Andrew Holden, M.D. discusses the background, outcomes and implications of this 5-year long-term data.
Physician-initiated 5-year VBX Stent Graft follow-up
Objective and methodology2
- This physician-initiated study enrolled 59 patients from 3 participating centers that were representative of the VBX FLEX Study 3-year follow-up cohort. Twenty-eight patients completed the 5-year follow-up.
- The primary durability endpoint was long-term primary patency.
DURABLE CLINICAL OUTCOMES THROUGH 5 YEARS2:
SUSTAINED PATIENT BENEFIT THROUGH 5 YEARS2:
The case for long-term durable clinical outcomes:
Case study 1: Treating severe aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) at the aortic bifurcation
Case study 2: Restoring flow to a patient with stenosis at the aortoiliac bifurcation
Case study 3: Restoring flow in a patient with severe claudication and focal iliac calcification
