New stent study aims to open blocked veins and heal leg ulcers
NCT ID NCT07538609
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a special stent (a small mesh tube) placed in veins to treat blockages, narrowing, or leg ulcers caused by poor blood flow. About 150 adults will receive the stent and be followed to see if it keeps the vein open and safe. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms without needing lifelong medication.

Preoperative Inclusion Criteria: * Presence of a lesion necessitating treatment with the GORE® VIABAHN® FORTEGRA Venous Stent, as previously determined by an investigator/sub-investigator. * Patient is at least 18 years of age. * Patient is willing and able to comply with all follow-up evaluations as well as any required medication or compression regimen. * Patient is able to provide informed consent themself. Intraoperative Inclusion Criteria: * Patient can accommodate an appropriately sized GORE® VIABAHN® FORTEGRA Venous Stent as per reference vessel diameter (see IFU), as determined by intraoperative IVUS post pre-dilation. * Patient must have appropriate access vessels to accommodate the delivery sheath for the selected device size. * Patient has adequate landing zones free from significant disease requiring treatment beyond the proximal and distal margins of the lesion. * Patient has adequate inflow/outflow to/from the target lesion(s), per investigator/sub- investigator discretion. * Lesion can be traversed with a guidewire.
