The flexible strength of the VBX Stent Graft helps you address the treatment challenges in complex iliac occlusive disease. 

The cases presented here feature a range of conditions and procedures that demonstrate the proven performance of the VBX Stent Graft. Watch for new cases.
/Case study

Treating severe aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) at the aortic bifurcation

In this bilateral common iliac artery case submitted by Jean Panneton, M.D., see the VBX Stent Graft treat complex AIOD with long-term durability.
/Case study

Restoring flow in a patient with severe claudication and focal iliac calcification

A case from Chris Metzger, M.D., presents a severe intermittent claudication (Rutherford 3) TASC II B lesion in the right common iliac artery (CIA) and focal iliac calcification to improve flow and patient symptoms.
/Case study

Restoring flow at the aortic bifurcation

In this bilateral common iliac case submitted by Masahiko Fujihara, M.D., see VBX Stent Grafts deployed in a kissing stent technique to restore flow at the aortic bifurcation.
/Case study

Reconstructing the aortic bifurcation

In a TASC II Type C lesion, “kissing” placement of the VBX Stent Graft successfully reconstructs the aortic bifurcation.
/Case study

Treating a severely calcified lesion

In this severely calcified lesion case, see the “up and over” deployment and post-procedure results with the VBX Stent Graft.
/Case study

Achieving conformability and durable results in tortuous anatomy

In this bilateral proximal common iliac case, see VBX Stent Graft conform to tortuous anatomy to produce widely patent arteries.
