An Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Clinical Study of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with Heparin Bioactive Surface** in Japan demonstrated:

  • 88% 12-month primary patency in long, complex SFA lesions (n = 103)1
  • 21.8 cm average lesion length
  • 65.7% chronic total occlusions (CTOs)
  • 84.5% TASC II C&D lesions
