Detailed Description

This study was conducted to provide additional data on the safety and efficacy of the Express™ Vascular LD stent, particularly with regard to the long-term patency in iliac arteries. The study would p...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • chronic symptomatic atherosclerotic disease in the iliac arteries (Fontaine Class IIa, IIb, and III)
  • atherosclerotic de novo or restenotic lesions in the common and/or external iliac artery.
  • baseline diameter stenosis of \> or = 50%
  • reference vessel diameter \> or = 5mm and \< or = 10mm
  • at least one sufficient ipsilateral infrapopliteal run-off
  • length of diseased segment(s) \< or = 10cm and can be treated with maximally two overlapping Express Vascular LD Stents.
  • multiple target lesions of the iliac arteries in the same patient can be included provided if each target lesion is compliant with the antiographic inclusion criteria and non-compliant with any of the antiographic exclusion criteria, target lesions are not located in the same target axis, and all target lesions can be treated during the same procedure.

Exclusion

  • chronic symptomatic atherosclerotic disease classified as fontaine Class I or IV
  • acute leg ischemia
  • pregnants patients
  • patients with uncorrected bleeding disorders (platelets \< 150 000/mm3 or \> 450 000 mm3, or patient who cannot receive anticoagulation or antiplatelet aggregation therapy
  • patient with known allergy to stainless steel
  • known anaphylactoid or other non-anaphylactic reactions to contrast agents that cannot be adequately premedicated prior to the index procedure
  • life-expectancy of less than 24 months due to other medical co-morbid condition that could limit patient's ability to participate in the study, the patient's compliance with the follow-up requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study
  • patient currently participating in another study that has not yet completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the endpoint of this study
  • patients who have already participated in this study
  • patients with prior or planned bypass surgery of the target vessel
  • patient with prior stent placement in the target vessel
  • patient with any previous coronary intervention within the last 30 days before enrollment into this study or patients with planned coronary intervention within 30 days after enrollment into this study.
  • patients in whom the origin of the profunda femoris and superficial femoral artery is occluded in the limb supplied by the iliac artery to be treated without planned surgical repair
  • patients with heavily calcified and excessive tortuous lesions at the target site as determined by angiography
  • patients with target lesion which is within or adjacent to the proximal or distal segment of an aneurysm
  • patients with persistent, acute intraluminal thrombus of the proposed target lesion site post-thrombolytic therapy
  • patients with perforated vessels as evidenced by extravasation of contrast media
  • patients with multiple lesions in the same target vessels.
