What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-blinded clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Vesper DUO Venous Stent System as compared to a pre-defined performance goal (PG) established from published, peer reviewed scientific literature related to stenting of iliofemoral venous outflow obstructions.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.

Is the venous stent generally safe for humans?

Some venous stents have been recalled due to safety issues, but others have shown good short-term safety in studies. The most common problem reported is thrombosis (blood clots), which can affect how long the stent works well. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

How is the Duo Venous Stent System treatment different from other treatments for chronic venous insufficiency?

The Duo Venous Stent System is unique because it is specifically designed for venous conditions, unlike previous stents that were adapted from arterial use. It offers increased flexibility and radial force, making it more effective for treating venous obstructions and deep venous reflux, which are challenging to address with traditional methods. ^{2 6 7 8 9}

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Duo Venous Stent System for chronic venous insufficiency?

Research shows that venous stenting, like the Duo Venous Stent System, can be effective in treating chronic venous insufficiency by addressing vein obstructions and improving blood flow, as seen in studies where stents were used to treat iliac vein obstruction and deep venous reflux. ^{2 6 8 10 11}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults over 18 with chronic venous insufficiency, May-Thurner Syndrome, or deep vein thrombosis who need a stent and can follow post-treatment care. Must not be pregnant/breastfeeding, have a BMI under 40, no recent COVID-19 infection or symptoms, and no history of certain blood disorders or allergies to the stent materials.

Inclusion Criteria

My veins near the target area are healthy enough for treatment.

Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 40.

I had symptoms of a deep vein clot before getting a DUO Stent.

Exclusion Criteria

Your iliofemoral veins are not the right size for the available DUO Stent implants.

You have had a condition called Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia in the past.

My blood does not clot properly, and treatment has not worked to fix it.
