Placement of closed-cell designed venous stents in a mixed cohort of patients with chronic venous outflow obstructions - short-term safety, patency, and clinical outcomes.

Background: To evaluate the performance of a closed-cell designed venous stent for the treatment of chronic ilio-femoral venous outflow obstruction (VOO) in the shortterm.

Patients And Methods: Safety, stent patency and clinical outcome after placement of the Vici Venous Stent® in patients with chronic ilio-femoral venous obstruction were assessed retrospectively. Stent patency was evaluated by duplex ultrasound scanning, and clinical outcome was determined using the revised Venous Clinical Severity score (rVCSS).

The initial report on 1-year outcomes of the feasibility study of the VENITI VICI VENOUS STENT in symptomatic iliofemoral venous obstruction.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a dedicated venous stent (the VICI VENOUS STENT; VENITI, Fremont, Calif) for treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction.

Methods: Thirty patients (24 female; median age, 43 years) were enrolled in the feasibility phase of an international, multicenter investigational device exemption trial from June 2014 to February 2015. All patients exhibited unilateral venous disease with ≥50% stenosis in the iliofemoral veins.
