DEVICE NAME
Duo Venous Stent System
DESCRIPTION
The Duo Venous Stent System consists of a portfolio of self-expanding venous stent configurations mounted on disposable delivery systems for improving luminal diameter in symptomatic venous outflow obstructions. The portfolio approachincludes delivery systems with either a hybrid venous stent implant (Duo Hybrid Stent) or an extension venous stent implant(Duo Extend Stent), enabling the clinician to custom tailor treatment in the iliofemoral venous anatomy based on disease patterns and severity. The Duo Hybrid Stent is designed with varying mechanical characteristics such as radial force/crush resistance and flexibility along its length to target the variable dynamic loading conditions in the iliofemoral venous system related to the treatment of disease states including non-thrombotic iliac vein compression, May-Thurner syndrome, deepvenous thrombosis, and post-thrombotic venous occlusion. The Duo Extend Stent consists of a highly flexible region with reinforcement rings at both ends. The Duo Stent can be used independently or in conjunction with the Duo Extend Stent to personalize the treatment region.
Figure 1 below provides an overview of the Duo Venous Stent System.
The delivery catheter has an effective length of 90cm or 120cm. The Outer Braided Sheath (3), which constrains the Stent implant, is bonded proximally to the Bifurcation Luer (5) within the Transition sleeve (4). The Hemostatic Valve (7) is integrated proximally to the Bifurcation Luer. The Inner Core Shaft (8) slides within the Hemostatic Valve. A soft, tapered Distal Tip (1) is bonded to the distal end of the Inner Core Shaft for ease of advancement in the blood vessel. Constrained within the Outer Braided Sheath the self- expanding Stent implant is positioned on the Inner Core between two radiopaque(RO) Distal Inner Core Markers. A radiopaque Target Band (2) is located on the distal end of the Outer Braided Sheath.
The catheter is flushed prior to the procedure through the side port (6) of the Bifurcation Luer and the Guidewire Port (9). Stent implant positioning is achieved prior to deployment by using the RO Markers on the Stent implant (Figure 2 and Figure 3) and the Target Band on the outer sheath. During Stent implant deployment, the Hemostatic Valve is unlocked by rotating the valve counterclockwise. The Stent implant is unsheathed by pinning the Proximal Inner Core Shaft and pulling back on the outer sheath.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 below provide an overview of the Duo Venous Stent System, Duo Hybrid Stent, and Duo Extend Stent respectively.
The self-expanding Nitinol (nickel-titanium) Duo Hybrid Stent is designed with
a “High Crush Resistance” segment (11) at the cranial end followed by a
“Transition” segment (12) that transitions into a “Highly Flexible” segment
(13). The caudal end of the Duo Hybrid Stent is designed with inflow
reinforcement (14). Both the cranial and caudal ends of the Duo Hybrid Stent
include four gold radiopaque markers (10), per end.
The self-expanding Nitinol (nickel-titanium) Duo Extend Stent is designed with
a “Highly Flexible” (16) body with inflowreinforcement (15) on both ends. Both
the cranial and caudal ends of the Duo Extend Stent include four gold
radiopaque markers (10), per end.
The respective lengths of the stent segments are provided in Table 1:

INTENDED USE
The Duo Venous Stent System is intended for use in the iliofemoral veins for
the treatment of symptomatic venous outflow obstruction. The Duo Hybrid Stent
is intended to be used in the iliac vein at the confluence of the inferior
vena cava only. The Duo Extend Stent is intended for use in the common iliac
and common femoral vein.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE
The Duo Venous Stent System is contraindicated for the following:
- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol).
- Patients unable to receive standard medication used for interventional procedures including anticoagulants, contrast agents and antiplatelet therapy.
- Patients who are judged to have a lesion that prevents complete inflation of a balloon dilation catheter or proper placement of the stent or the stent delivery system.
- Tortuous vascular anatomy significant enough to prevent safe introduction and passage of the device to its intended location.
- Duo Hybrid jugular or contralateral vascular access.
WARNINGS / PRECAUTIONS
- 1. Read all instructions carefully. Failure to properly follow the instructions, warnings and precautions may lead to serious consequences or injury to the patient.
- It is not recommended that Stent implants be used in patients that are allergic/intolerant to contrast media and are not amenable to pretreatment with steroids and/or antihistamines.
- The Stent implant may cause a thrombus or thrombo-embolization or may migrate from the site.
- Before insertion of the primary dilatation catheter, it is recommended that the appropriate antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy be administered.
- Perform all device deployment under fluoroscopic guidance.
- Use caution when moving the Duo Venous Stent System catheter through already deployed stent implants.
- This device should only be used by physicians who have received appropriate training.
- Post stent implant balloon dilatation is recommended. Failure to adequately size the stent implant may result in inadequate tissue apposition and risk of stent migration or occlusion.
- Use caution (advance slowly) during advancement of post-dilatation balloon catheter through deployed Stent implants.
- Fully deflate post-dilatation balloon prior to withdrawing balloon catheter.
- Do not use excessive force when using this device as this could result in damage to the device, including component fracture, or venous injury.
- Do not use the system without the guidewire extending beyond the tip of the delivery catheter.
- Failure to pin or secure the delivery catheter’s inner core during Stent implant deployment may result in improper placement of the Stent implant.
- Care should be taken not to kink the delivery system. If kinking occurs this could result in the inability to reach the target treatment site and to properly deploy the Stent implant.
- Failure to tighten (lock) the hemostatic valve prior to repositioning the delivery system could result in inadvertent deployment of Stent implant.
- If the Stent implant cannot deploy, remove the delivery catheter, and use a new device.
- It is recommended that the Delivery System be used with a 0.035” guidewire.
- Is recommended that the 9F and 10F Delivery Systems be used with 9F (3.0 mm) and 10F (3.3 mm) introducer sheaths, respectively.
- Duo Venous Stent System Storage and Preparation
- The Duo Venous Stent System is designed and intended for single use only. DO NOT re-sterilize and/or reuse the device.
- Reuse of this product, including reprocessing and/or re-sterilization, may lead to a failure of the device to perform as intended and/or a loss of critical labeling/use information, all of which present a risk to patient safety.
- Store in a dark, dry place.
- Do not use if the pouch is open or damaged. If it is suspected that the sterility or performance of the device has been compromised, the device should not be used.
- Use prior to the “Use-by” date specified on the package.
- If the system cannot be flushed, do not use the system.
- Duo Venous Stent System Handling
- Avoid contamination of the Stent implant(s). As with any type of vascular implant, contamination may lead to infection, thrombosis, or pseudoaneurysm.
- Do not use with Ethiodol or Lipiodol contrast media to avoid possible damage to the delivery system components.
- Do not expose the delivery system to organic solvents (e.g., alcohol).
- Stent Implant Placement
- The Duo-Hybrid Stent (high crush resistance segment) is intended to be used in the common iliac vein at the confluence of the IVC only.
- The Duo Extend Stent is intended for use in the common femoral vein and the external iliac vein.
- Do not use with power injection systems.
- If resistance is encountered at any time during the insertion procedure, do not force advancement of the delivery system. Forcing the delivery system through resistance may cause damage to Stent implant or vessel. Carefully withdraw the Duo Venous Stent System without deploying a Stent implant.
- If resistance is felt when beginning deployment, do not force deployment. Carefully withdraw the Duo Venous Stent System without deploying the Stent implant.
- The Duo Hybrid and Duo Extend Stent(s) are not designed for repositioning or recapturing.
- Once the stent is partially or fully deployed, do not attempt to drag or reposition the Stent implant with the delivery system, as this may result in Stent or vessel damage.
- Stenting across a major branch vessel could cause catheterization difficulties during future diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
- If a long lesion needs to be stented, consider using the longest available single stent rather than overlapping stents. If multiple stents are placed in an overlapping fashion, they should be of similar composition (i.e., Nitinol).
- The Duo Extend Stent has not been clinically evaluated as a stand-alone device and should only be used in conjunction with the Duo Hybrid Stent.
- The long-term outcomes following repeat dilatation of previously implanted stents are unknown.
- The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the arterial system have not been established.
- In the event of symptomatic thrombosis within the Stent implant, thrombolysis/thrombectomy and balloon venoplasty should be attempted, per standard of care.
- Stent Implant Removal
- In the event of a complication such as infection, surgical removal of a Stent implant may be required. Standard surgical procedure is appropriate.
- Post Implant
- Re-crossing a Stent implant with adjunct devices should be performed with caution to avoid damage or displacement of the implanted stent.
- Do not attempt to re-sheath the device within the deployed Stent implant treatment area as this could result in displacement.
- Used products are considered biohazardous material and should be disposed of properly as per hospital or lab protocol.
- In patients requiring the use of antacids and/or H2-antagonists before or immediately after Stent implant placement, oral absorption of antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin) may be adversely affected.

Procedure
-
Preparation of the Duo Venous Stent System
- Open the outer box and pouch to reveal the backing card containing the Duo Venous Stent System.
- Carefully inspect the backing card and device for any damage. If damage is suspected, the sterility or performance of the device has been compromised; the device should not be used.
- Flush the delivery system with sterile saline to expel any air. A 3cc syringe is recommended (to avoid damage to the delivery system).
- Flush through the Bifurcation Luer side port until saline weeps from the distal catheter end.
- Flush through the Guidewire Port until saline flows out of the Guidewire Lumen at the distal catheter end.
- Inspect the distal end of the catheter to ensure that the Stent implant is contained within the outer sheath. If a gap between the catheter tip and outer sheath tip exists, unlock the hemostatic valve in the counterclockwise direction and gently pull the inner core in a proximal direction of the device until the gap is closed. Lock the hemostatic valve after the adjustment by rotating the proximal end of the device in a clockwise direction.
- Wipe the usable portion of the stent delivery catheter with saline.
-
Insertion of Introducer Sheath or Guide Catheter and Guidewire
- Access the treatment site with the appropriate accessory equipment compatible with the 9F/10F (3.0 mm / 3.3 mm) delivery system depending upon stent size to be implanted (reference TABLE 2).
- Place a 0.035” (0.89 mm) guidewire of sufficient length across the treatment site for Stent implantation via the introducer sheath or guide catheter.
-
Dilate Lesion
-
Predilatation of chronic lesions with a balloon dilation catheter is recommended. If performed, select a balloon catheter that matches the size of the reference vessel.
CAUTION: During dilation, do not over-size the balloon such that dissection or perforation could occur. -
While maintaining site access with a guidewire, remove the balloon catheter from the patient. CAUTION: Fully deflate balloon catheter prior to withdrawing.
-
-
Introduction of Duo Venous Stent System
-
Ensure the Hemostatic valve is locked.
-
Advance the delivery catheter over the guidewire through the hemostatic valve and sheath introducer to the treatment site.
NOTE: If resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn, and another system should be used. A stiffer guidewire may also be considered to facilitate device introduction and passage.
NOTE: The Duo Hybrid Stent (high crush resistance segment) is intended to be used in the cranial portion of the iliac vein at the confluence of the IVC only.
NOTE: The Duo Hybrid Stent is not designed for use in procedures that require jugular or contralateral access.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE the Duo Hybrid Stent from any access other than an ipsilateral venous access. -
CAUTION: Always use an introducer sheath for the implant procedure to protect puncture site.
-
-
Slack Removal
- Advance the Duo Venous Stent System past the treatment site.
- Pull back the Duo Venous Stent System until the radiopaque marker on the outer sheath is aligned with the cranial end of the target treatment site (just beyond the cranial aspect of the lesion).
- Ensure the device outside the patient remains flat and straight.
CAUTION: Slack in the catheter shaft, either outside or inside the patient, may result in deploying the Stent implant in a non-target treatment site.
-
Stent Implant Deployment
-
Verify that the delivery system and stent radiopaque markers are positioned cranial and caudal to the target treatment site.
-
Ensure the access sheath does not move during deployment.
-
Initiate Stent implant deployment by unlocking the hemostatic valve while holding the inner core shaft in a fixed position.
NOTE: Failure to maintain a fixed inner core shaft position may result in undesired Stent implant placement. -
While using fluoroscopy, maintain position of the radiopaque markers relative to the target treatment site. Watch for the Outer Sheath radiopaque marker band to move caudally as the outer sheath is retracted which indicates the stent is being exposed and deploying. The stents cranial radiopaque markers will start to radially expand during deployment. Carefully, continue to retract the outer sheath until the stents cranial radiopaque markers are fully apposed to the vessel wall. Continue to slowly unsheathe the stent until the Stent implant is fully deployed. The stent is fully deployed once the stents cranial and caudal radiopaque markers are fully apposed to the vessel wall.
DO NOT attempt to recapture the stent. -
If overlapping of a Duo Extend Stent inside of a Duo Hybrid Stent is required to extend the treatment region, there should be a 10-20mm overlap of the Duo Hybrid and Duo Extend Stent.
-
-
Stent Implant Post-dilatation
-
Carefully remove the delivery system from the body.
-
Using fluoroscopy, visualize the Stent implant to verify deployment.
-
Post Stent expansion with a balloon catheter is recommended. If performed, select a balloon catheter that matches the size of the reference vessel, but is not larger than the stent diameter itself.
-
Post-dilate the stent treated site with conventional techniques. Remove the balloon catheter from the patient following the complete deflation of the balloon prior to removal.
CAUTION: Fully deflate balloon catheter prior to withdrawing. -
Following stent deployment, a post intervention venogram and Intravascular Ultrasound are recommended to ensure adequate stent placement, full lesion coverage and full stent expansion.
-
-
Post Treatment
- Remove the guidewire and sheath from the body.
- Close entry wound/obtain hemostasis as appropriate.
- Discard the delivery system, guidewire, and sheath.
NOTE: Physician experience and discretion will determine the appropriate post-procedure drug regimen for each patient.
SUMMARY OF THE PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY
The results of the VIVID Study investigating the safety and effectiveness of
the Duo Venous Stent System for treating symptomatic iliofemoral venous
outflow obstructions, are presented below.
Study Design
The VIVID study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-blinded
clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Duo
Venous Stent System as compared to a pre-defined performance goal (PG)
established from published, peer reviewed scientific literature related to
stenting of iliofemoral venous outflow obstructions.
Patients were treated between November 30, 2020, and December 6, 2021. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through June 15, 2023. The study enrolled 162 subjects at 30 clinical sites in the United States and European Union.
The study enrolled subjects with nonmalignant iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction presenting with non-thrombotic (NT), acute thrombotic (AT) or chronic post-thrombotic (CPT) disease pathogenesis. Any subject that received one or more Duo Stents was followed for 30-days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months.
An independent Clinical Events Committee consisting of a team of clinical experts with experience in the conduct of clinical trials was formed to review clinical events reported by the investigators that had potential to be classified as Major Adverse Events. A medical monitor was employed to provide a first review of all Adverse Events to review unanticipated adverse device effects (UADE) potential, seriousness, severity, causality, and effectiveness. Additionally, an independent board of multi-disciplinary physicians and subject matter experts was convened to serve as the Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) for the study. The DSMB served as an independent body conducting a review and oversight of all key safety events to monitor the rate of occurrence (both site-reported and CEC-adjudicated events) as part of their mission to protect the rights and safety of research subjects.

Clinical Endpoints
Primary Safety Endpoint
The primary safety endpoint was to demonstrate freedom from major adverse
events (MAEs) at 30 days post index procedure, as adjudicated by the Clinical
Events Committee (CEC) or Core Laboratory, including:
- Device or procedure-related death
- Device or procedure-related bleed at the target vessel and/or the target lesion or at the access site requiring surgical or endovascular intervention or blood transfusion of ≥2 units
- Device or procedure-related venous injury occurring in the target vessel and /or the target lesion or at the access site requiring surgical or endovascular intervention
- Major amputation of the target limb
- Clinically significant pulmonary embolism (PE), confirmed by CT angiography
- Stent embolization outside of the target vessel
- Presence of new thrombus within the stented segment requiring surgical or endovascular intervention
Disease specific PG was calculated from the point estimates for major bleeding, pulmonary embolism and peri-procedural mortality from Razavi et al converted to freedom from estimates and application of a 10% delta. The resulting PGs were 89%,87% and 88% for the non-thrombotic, acute thrombotic and chronic post-thrombotic, respectively. Given the similarity of the disease-state specific PGs, it was determined that a disease state specific goal was not necessary. A PG of 89% was adopted for the study in both the SARS-CoV-2 negative subset and overall.
Statistical hypothesis testing was performed as follows:
- H0: Proportion of subjects with freedom from MAE (pMAE) is less than or equal to the PG) at 30 days, pMAE ≤89%
- H1: Proportion of subjects with freedom from MAE is greater than the (PG) at 30 days, pMAE >89%
The primary statistical analysis was conducted in the full-analysis set (FAS) subset for the primary safety endpoint overall and in the SARS-CoV-2 negative subset. A subject was defined as an Intent-To-Treat (ITT) patient once the subject had the Duo Venous Stent System advanced through the introducer sheath. A subject is defined as full-analysis set (FAS) if they meet the ITT definition and have data evaluable for the primary endpoints. The Per-Protocol (PP) population was defined as ITT subjects with evaluable data that met the definition for Device Success and did not have any major protocol deviations. The primary statistical method is a one-sample exact test comparing the proportion of subjects free from a MAE to the PG using a one-sided a=0.025. The exact two-sided 95% confidence interval for the proportion of subjects free from MAE was calculated.
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint
The primary effectiveness endpoint is primary patency of stented segment at 12
months defined as freedom from:
- Duplex Ultrasound (DUS) core laboratory adjudicated stenosis or occlusion >50% within the stented segment. If DUS shows >50% stenosis or occlusion, confirmation by diagnostic intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is required.
- CEC adjudicated clinically driven target lesion reintervention (CD-TLR) defined as endovascular or surgical procedure for new, recurrent, or worsening symptoms and core lab adjudicated >50% stenosis or occlusion within the stented segment confirmed by diagnostic IVUS.
The PG for primary effectiveness was set when all enrolled subjects completed the index procedure and was based upon the proportions of ITT subjects in each of the disease states, (i.e., non-thrombotic, acute thrombotic and chronic post-thrombotic). The disease specific PGs were adopted as suggested in Razavi et al1 with, the lower 95% confidence limit minus 10%. The disease state PGs were 83%, 70% and 66% for non-thrombotic, acute thrombotic and chronic post- thrombotic subjects respectively. The PG for the VIVID study is a weighted combination of these disease state specific PGs, where the weights are the proportion of subjects in each disease state in the ITT sample. Therefore, the performance goal (PG) was defined as
PG = (0.642)0.83 + (0.099)0.70 + (0.259)*0.66. = 77.3%
Statistical hypothesis testing was performed as follows:
- H0: Proportion of subjects with primary patency (pp_pat) is less than or equal to performance goal (PG) at 12 months, pp_pat
- H1: Proportion of subjects with primary patency is greater than the performance goal at 12 months, pp_pat >PG
The study device was considered to have met the effectiveness endpoint if the one-sided p-value from hypothesis testing, comparing the proportion of subjects in the FAS with primary patency to the PG using a one-sample Z-test, was less than 0.025.
Secondary Endpoints
The following secondary endpoints were evaluated through 12 months:
- Subject symptom relief via VCSS pain score at 12 months
- Primary assisted patency at 12 months
- Defined as freedom from DUS core laboratory adjudicated occlusion or stenosis >50% within the stented segment following a clinically driven target lesion reintervention due to a >50% but <100% stenosis. If DUS shows >50% stenosis or occlusion, confirmation by diagnostic IVUS was required.
- Secondary patency at 12 months
- Defined as freedom from DUS core laboratory adjudicated occlusion or stenosis >50% within the stented segment following a clinically driven target lesion reintervention. If DUS shows >50% stenosis or occlusion, confirmation by diagnostic IVUS was required.
Observational Endpoints
- Device Success defined as:
- Successful deployment of the Duo Stents) at the intended target site, AND
- Successful withdrawal of the delivery catheter(s) from the introducer sheath, AND
- The Duo Stent remaining at the intended deployment location through completion of the index procedure as determined by the Principal Investigator (PI)
- Lesion success defined as target lesion patency of ≤50% residual diameter or area stenosis of the stented segment at the completion of the procedure*
- Procedural success defined as lesion success without the occurrence of CEC adjudicated major adverse events (MAEs) from the time start of the index procedure through discharge.

Core Laboratory Adjudicated
Accountability of PMA Cohort
Of the 270 subjects consented for the VIVID study, 162 patients were enrolled and represent the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. The Per Protocol (PP) population includes 158 subjects and excludes three subjects that did not meet the criteria for device success and one subject that did not meet Inclusion Criteria #10. The Full-Analysis Set (FAS) is subjects who meet the ITT definition and have data evaluable for the primary endpoints. Subject accountability is also described in Table 5 below. Of the 162 enrolled subjects, 155 completed 30-day follow-up or telemedicine/phone visit and 140 completed 12-month follow-up or telemedicine/phone visit per Figure 4.
- -270 consented subjects – 108 screen failures = 162 enrolled subjects

Safety and Effectiveness Results
Safety Results
The primary safety endpoint for the VIVID study is freedom from major adverse
events (MAEs) at 30 days post index procedure, as adjudicated by the Clinical
Events Committee (CEC) or Core Laboratory. There were only two patients who
had a CEC Adjudicated MAE at 30 days, both of whom had new thrombus in the
stented segment requiring surgical or endovascular intervention. Both patients
were in the chronic post-thrombotic cohort. Table 12 displays the analysis of
all FAS subjects. In each case the lower confidence bound was >95% which met
the pre-defined performance goal (p<0.0001).

Effectiveness Results
The primary effectiveness endpoint was primary patency of the stented segment at 12 months defined as freedom from:
- Duplex Ultrasound (DUS) core laboratory adjudicated stenosis or occlusion >50% within the stented segment. If DUS showed >50% stenosis or occlusion, confirmation by diagnostic intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is required.
- CEC adjudicated clinically driven target lesion reintervention (CD-TLR) defined as endovascular or surgical procedure for new, recurrent, or worsening symptoms and core lab adjudicated >50% stenosis or occlusion within the stented segment confirmed by diagnostic IVUS.
In the FAS group, 132/162 patients were evaluable for the 12M primary
effectiveness endpoint. The primary endpoint was met by 90.2% of subjects with
a lower confidence bound of 87.2% thus meeting the target performance goal
(p=0.0002). in the PP group, 115/162 patients were evaluable for 12M primary
for the 12M primary effectiveness endpoint. The primary endpoint was met by
89.8% of subjects with a lower confidence bound of 82.7% thus meeting the
target performance goal
(p=0.0003).

Primary assisted patency was defined as freedom from DUS core laboratory adjudicated occlusion or stenosis > 50% within the stented segment following a clinically driven target lesion reintervention (CD-TLR) due to a > 50% but < 100% stenosis at 12 months while secondary patency was defined as freedom from DUS core laboratory adjudicated occlusion or stenosis > 50% within the stented segment following a clinically driven target lesion reintervention at 12 months due to greater than 50% stenosis or occlusion within the stented segment. For both endpoints, if site reported or core laboratory adjudicated DUS showed > 50% stenosis or occlusion, confirmation by diagnostic IVUS was required. As with the primary patency endpoint, DUS, IVUS and venogram imaging were used to evaluate the endpoint. As shown in Table 18, primary assisted patency and secondary patency at 12M were 94.7% (124/131) and 95.4% (125/131), respectively.

Observational Endpoints
Device, lesion, and procedural success were evaluated using the following definitions:
- Device success is defined as successful deployment at the intended target site and successful withdrawal of the delivery catheter from the introducer sheath. The following must be met to be considered a Device Success:
- Successful deployment of the Duo Stents) at the intended target site, AND
- Successful withdrawal of the delivery catheter(s) from the introducer sheath, AND
- The Duo Stent remaining at the intended deployment location through completion of the index procedure as determined by the Principal Investigator (PI)
- Lesion success is defined as target lesion patency of ≤50% residual diameter or area stenosis of the stented segment at the completion of the procedure (core laboratory adjudicated).
- Procedural success is defined as lesion success without the occurrence of major adverse events from the time of treatment to discharge (CEC and/or core laboratory adjudicated).
As summarized in Table 19, all subjects met the criteria for lesion and procedural success and 159/162 (98.1%) met the criteria for device success. Of the three subjects that did not meet the criteria for device success, two subjects did not have successful deployment at the target site and one subject did not have the stent remaining at the intended target location through the index procedure. No adverse events were associated with these failures.

Stent fracture and migration were evaluated via X-ray through 36 months and
stent embolization via X-ray or venogram through 36 months. There were no
instances of stent fracture, migration, or embolization through 12 months.
Several quality-of-life measures were also included as observational
endpoints. The clinical CEAP score, all EQ-5D-3L categories, Vilalta score,
VEINES-QOL and VEINES-Sym scores all improved from baseline to 12 months as

Subgroup Analysis
Table 21 displays the results of the primary analysis by the pre-determined subgroups of FAS subjects: Gender, geography (US vs OUS), age ( 61 vs > 61), race, and ethnicity. In general, there were no differences in the primary effectiveness endpoint between any of the pre-defined sub-groups, with the exception of US vs OUS. The OUS sample size was only 8.5% of the total FAS subject population, so the differences may be due to the small numbers of OUS subjects.

Given that COVID-19 has been associated with a hypercoagulable state, which has the potential to increase MAE occurrence and decrease patency, the study included a test of both the primary safety and effectiveness hypotheses in both the SARS-CoV-2 negative subset and all subjects (regardless of SARS-CoV-2 status). The performance goals for both primary safety and primary effectiveness were met for both cohorts. COVID-19 status did not affect primary outcomes in this study.
Pediatric Extrapolation
In this premarket application, existing clinical data was not leveraged to
support approval of a pediatric patient population.
MRI Safety Information
Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that the Duo Venous Stent is MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions:
- Static magnetic field of 1.5 T or 3 T, only
- Maximum spatial field gradient of 4,000-gauss/cm (40-T/m)
- Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2-W/kg (Normal Operating Mode)
- Circularly polarized (quadrature-driven) coil only
Under the scan conditions defined, an implant from the Duo Venous Stent System is expected to produce a maximum temperature rise of less than 2.0°C after 15-minutes of continuous scanning (i.e., per pulse sequence).
In non-clinical testing, the image artifact caused by an implant from the Duo Venous Stent System extends approximately 5-mm from this device when imaged with a gradient echo pulse sequence and a 3-T MR system. The lumen of this stent could be visualized on the T1-weighted, spin echo and gradient echo MR images.
Additional Information
The heating effect in the MRI environment for fractured stents is unknown. The
presence of other implants or the health state of the patient may require
reduction of the MRI limits listed above.
Vesper Medical recommends that patients register the conditions under which
this Stent implant can be MRI scanned safely with the MedicAlert Foundation
(www.medicalert.org) or equivalent organization.
