  • Research summary

    This is a multi-centre, single- arm, post- market registry, where a minimum of 614 patients will be recruited across 35 sites. The primary aim of the study is to collect data from patients who have been treated with the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface (VSX)for a variety of medical reasons as stated below, to assess the safety of the device.
    - Lesion in the Iliac arteries: Damage in the iliac arteries (the vessels that supply blood to the pelvis, pelvic organs, reproductive organs, and the medial part of the thigh and lower body.
    - Lesion in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery (SFA): SFA: Damage to the large main thigh artery and the artery running behind the knee which supply blood to the muscles in the lower leg and heel.
    - In-stent restenotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery (SFA ISR): Narrowing or re-narrowing of the large main thigh artery and the artery running behind the knee which supply blood to the muscles in the lower leg and heel.
    - Hemodialysis (AV) Access: Access for the hemodialysis (“blood washing”) where a machine filters wastes, salts and fluid from your blood when your kidneys are no longer able to do so.
    - Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA): Widening of the artery running behind the knee.
    - Isolated visceral artery aneurysms (VAA): Widening of the artery in your abdomen that supply blood to the intestines, spleen and liver.
    - Trauma / Injury: use in an accident or injury of a blood vessel
    - Other: any other use not captured above

    Each patient will have data collected from their procedure and standard of care follow up visits. Patients may be asked to complete a quality of life questionnaire for up to two years into their follow up.
