Efficacy Study of Iliac Stents to Treat TASC A-B-C-D Iliac Artery Lesions (BRAVISSIMO)

This is an interventional treatment trial for Peripheral Vascular Disease focused on measuring Peripheral Vascular Disease, Intermittent Claudication, Critical limb Ischemia, TASC A, TASC B, TASC C, TASC D, balloon-expandable stent, Self-expanding stent, TASC Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

GENERAL

• Patient is >18 years old
• Patient (or their legal representative) understands the nature of the procedure and provides written informed consent, prior to enrolment in the study
• Patient is eligible for treatment with the Absolute Pro or Omnilink Elite (Abbott Vascular)

ANGIOGRAPHIC

• The target lesion is either a modified TASC-II class A, B, C or D lesion with one of the listed specifications:
• Type A lesions
• Unilateral or bilateral stenoses of the Common Iliac Artery
• Unilateral or bilateral single short (≤3 cm) stenosis of the External Iliac Artery
• Type B lesions
• Unilateral Common Iliac Artery occlusion
• Single or multiple stenosis totaling 3-10 cm involving the External Iliac Artery not extending into the Common Femoral Artery
• Unilateral External Iliac Artery occlusion not involving the origins of Internal Iliac Artery or Common Iliac Artery
• Type C lesions
• Bilateral Common Iliac Artery occlusions
• Bilateral External Iliac Artery stenoses 3-10 cm long not extending into the Common Femoral Artery

• Unilateral External Iliac Artery occlusion that involves the origins of the Internal Iliac and/or Common Femoral Artery
• Heavily calcified unilateral External Iliac Artery occlusion with or without involvement of origins of the Internal Iliac and/or Common Femoral Artery
• Type D lesions
• Unilateral occlusions of both Common Iliac and External Iliac Artery
• Diffuse disease involving the aorta and both iliac arteries requiring treatment
• Diffuse multiple stenoses involving the unilateral Common Iliac, External Iliac and Common Femoral Artery
• Bilateral occlusions of External Iliac Artery
• The target lesion has angiographic evidence of stenosis or restenosis > 50% or occlusion which can be passed with standard guidewire manipulation
