New stent aims to keep leg arteries open longer
NCT ID NCT05811364
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a fabric-covered stent (GORE VBX) works better than standard bare metal stents for people with severe blockages in the iliac arteries, which supply blood to the legs. About 244 participants with leg pain or tissue loss will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two stents. The main goal is to see which stent keeps the artery open longer without needing another procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GORE® VIABAHN® VBX balloon expandable endoprosthesis (a fabric-covered metal stent)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a more durable option for keeping iliac arteries open, reducing the need for repeat procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a randomized trial, but results may not apply to all patients. Stents can still re-narrow or cause complications like clotting or infection.
