GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface

INDICATIONS FOR USE IN EUROPE: The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface is indicated for the treatment of:

  • de novo or restenotic lesions in the iliac arteries  
  • de novo or restenotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery  
  • in-stent restenotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery  
  • stenosis or thrombotic occlusion at the venous anastomosis of synthetic arteriovenous (AV) access grafts and in the venous outflow of dialysis access circuits, including the central veins  
  • popliteal artery aneurysms and isolated visceral artery aneurysms  
  • traumatic or iatrogenic vessel injuries in arteries that are located in the chest cavity, abdominal cavity, or pelvis (except for aorta, coronary, innominate, carotid, vertebral, and pulmonary arteries)

CONTRAINDICATIONS: 

  • Non-compliant lesions where full expansion of an angioplasty balloon catheter was not achieved during pre-dilatation, or where lesions cannot be dilated sufficiently to allow passage of the delivery system.
  • Do not use the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface in patients with known hypersensitivity to heparin, including those patients who have had a previous incident of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II. 

 

GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis

INDICATIONS FOR USE IN EUROPE: The GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis is indicated for the treatment of:

  • de novo or restenotic lesions found in iliac arteries, including lesions at the aortic bifurcation;
  • de novo or restenotic lesions in the visceral arteries;
  • isolated visceral, iliac, and subclavian artery aneurysms; or
  • traumatic or iatrogenic vessel injuries in arteries that are located in the chest cavity, abdominal cavity, or pelvis (except for aorta, coronary, innominate, carotid, vertebral, and pulmonary arteries). 

The GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis is indicated for use as a bridging stent in branched and fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair with the following: 

  • Approved for use branched aortic endovascular grafts constructed of polyester fabric, stainless steel stents, and polypropylene suture with branch diameters of 6/8 mm and lengths of 18/21 mm.  
  • Approved for use fenestrated aortic endovascular grafts constructed of polyester fabric, stainless steel stents, and fenestrations with polypropylene suture ranging in diameter from 6–8 mm.  

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use the GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis in patients with known hypersensitivity to heparin, including those patients who have had a previous incident of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II.
