Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18 years and older) with a lesion suitable for treatment with the GORE VIABAHN FORTEGRA Venous Stent and who can comply with follow-up and treatment regimens.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose venous disease is not amenable to stenting or who cannot comply with follow-up may not benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study designed to collect real-world performance data on the GORE VIABAHN FORTEGRA Venous Stent. Up to 35 investigative sites in the United States will enroll about 150 subjects, with a maximum of 30 treated per site. Participants will be followed through hospital discharge and at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months to assess outcomes related to venous disease and stent durability. The study focuses on patients requiring venous stenting for conditions such as venous thrombosis, venous stenosis, and venous ulcers, with procedures performed according to the device’s indications for use. Data collection emphasizes safety and real-world effectiveness of the stent beyond initial regulatory approval.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide evidence on real-world safety and effectiveness of the stent, potentially informing clinical decisions and post-market use.

How similar studies have gone: Prior post-market or real-world assessments of venous stents have shown practical usefulness, but this exact device and indication are being evaluated in a dedicated post-approval study.
