Using the GORE VBX balloon-expandable stent graft for covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation in aortoiliac occlusive disease

Official title: Real-World Data Collection of the GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis When Used in Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of the Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) to Treat Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease

Run by W.L.Gore & Associates · NCT06872905 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will see if the GORE VBX balloon-expandable stent graft is safe and effective when used during covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation in adults treated for aortoiliac occlusive disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults who underwent a CERAB procedure with the VBX device placed in the aortic position at least one year earlier and who did not have prior aortic or common iliac stents or concomitant chimney procedures.

Probably not a fit

Patients with prior stents in the aortic or common iliac arteries, those treated with concomitant chimney procedures, or those enrolled in other conflicting investigational studies are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this data collection.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a post-approval, observational collection of real-world data on the GORE VIABAHN VBX device when used in the CERAB technique to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease. At least 158 adult subjects treated at a minimum of 20 sites in the U.S. and Europe will be included, with retrospective data abstracted from site records. Data points include baseline, treatment, discharge, pre-12-month, 12-month, and later follow-up visits to capture safety and device performance over time. Patients must have undergone CERAB with the VBX device at least one year prior to enrollment and meet specific inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could provide real-world evidence to support safer and more effective use of the VBX device in CERAB procedures, helping clinicians optimize treatment for people with AIOD.

How similar studies have gone: Other observational and clinical reports have shown favorable outcomes with the VBX device and covered endovascular techniques for iliac disease, but CERAB-specific real-world data are relatively limited, making this focused collection somewhat novel.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patient treated with covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB) procedure for aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD).
2. Patient was implanted with the VBX Device in the aortic position during a CERAB procedure.
3. Patient was treated with the CERAB procedure a minimum of 1 year before enrollment date.
4. Age ≥18 years at the time of CERAB procedure.
5. Obtain patient informed consent or waiver according to local Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) -

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patient with prior stenting in the aortic or common iliac artery at the time of CERAB procedure.
2. Patient treated with concomitant chimney procedure at time of CERAB procedure (e.g., inferior mesenteric artery, renal artery).
3. Participation in another drug or device investigational study at the time of the CERAB procedure date that can confound the study endpoints.
