In October 2022, the company announced that the first-in-human implantations of the Viafort vascular stent were performed as part of the study by interventional radiologist Andrew Holden, MD, at the Auckland City Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand. Additional centers in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand will also participate in this study. The study is being conducted in the United States under an FDA-approved investigational device exemption. “With no device options indicated, or frankly designed for both IVC and iliofemoral venous disease, implanting the Gore Viafort vascular stent in patients represents a significant step forward in research and ultimately management of these complex patients.” “It is exciting to have enrolled the first United States patient, an important milestone for venous occlusive disease treatment,” commented Dr. The first patient in the United States was enrolled by Kush Desai, MD, at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois.
The prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, single-arm study will include 5-year follow-up of enrolled patients.
The device will be studied in a treatment range of 10- to 28-mm diameter for iliofemoral veins and the IVC.
