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
approach includes 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 Vesper Duo Hybrid Stent is
a hybrid stent design 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, deep venous thrombosis, and post-thrombotic venous
occlusion. The Duo Extend Stent consists of a highly flexible region with
reinforcement rings at both ends. The Duo Hybrid 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.
Figure 1 – Duo Venous Stent System
The Triaxial, over-the-wire delivery catheter has an effective length of 90cm
or 120cm. The Inner Core Shaft (2) contains the Guidewire Lumen designed for
compatibility with a 0.035inch guidewire which extends through the entire
length of the Triaxial Delivery System and is bonded to the Luer hub (9) at
the proximal end of the system that is fixed within the Handle Body (6). A
soft, tapered Distal Tip (1) is bonded to the distal end of the Inner Core
Shaft. The Outer Braided Sheath (3), which constrains the Stent implant,
translates over the Inner Core Shaft (2), and is coupled to the deployment
Thumbwheel (8) within the Handle body (6). A third Triaxial Sleeve (4) is
fixed to the Handle Body (6) via the Strain Relief (5) to prevent unintended
movement of the delivery system during Stent Deployment. 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.
The catheter is flushed prior to the procedure through the Luer Hub (9). Prior
to deployment, the Thumbwheel Safety Lock (7) must be removed and discarded.
Stent implant positioning is achieved prior to deployment by using the RO
Markers on the Inner Core Shaft and Stent implant (Figure 2 and Figure 3).
Deployment of the stent is initiated by rotating the thumbwheel in the
proximal direction.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 below provide an overview of the Duo Hybrid and Duo
Extend Stents.
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 ring” (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 inflow reinforcement (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:

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 veins.
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
- 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 the advancement of the post-dilatation balloon catheter through deployed Stent implants.
- Fully deflate the 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 position and fix the delivery system 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.
- Rotation of the Delivery System Thumbwheel 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 and 10F 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.
- tore 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Pre-Procedure
- Pre-procedural anticoagulation and antiplatelet should be stopped if required by the institutional standards of care.
- Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy should be administered per institutional standards of care.
- The percutaneous placement of a Stent implant should be done in an appropriate fluoroscopic guided procedure room.
- Appropriate diagnostic imaging (venography and/or IVUS + fluoroscopy) should be performed using the standard technique prior to, during and after Stent placement.
- Venography should be performed to identify, evaluate, and mark the target treatment site.
- Patient preparation and sterile precautions should be the same as for any endovascular procedure.
Select Stent Size
- Measure the length of the target treatment zone to identify the appropriate length of stent(s) required. Ensure that the stent is long enough to permit the area cranial and caudal of the lesion to be covered by the stent (full lesion coverage).
- The Duo Stent(s) foreshortening is <10%
- Identify the diameter of the normal reference vessel using IVUS cranial and caudal to the lesion, and at an appropriate location of the normal reference vessel. To ensure secure placement, refer to the stent size selection table for proper sizing scheme (Table 3).

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 Luer Hub 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, carefully rotate the thumbwheel in the distal direction until the gap is closed.
- 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 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
- 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 to the intended location, then remove the Thumbwheel Safety Clip.
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 rotating the Thumbwheel in the proximal direction while holding the proximal handle in a fixed position.
NOTE: Failure to maintain a fixed delivery system 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 stents first set of radiopaque markers to radially expand during deployment. Carefully, continue to retract the outer sheath until the stents first set of radiopaque markers are fully apposed to the vessel wall. Continue to slowly un-sheath the stent until it 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 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.
A. 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.

- Assessments may be done up to 30 days prior to the index procedure, except for a pregnancy test and SARS-CoV-2 test.
- ssessments are to be completed post-index procedure and prior to the subject being discharged from the hospital/clinic.
- Informed Consent may be obtained up to 30 days prior to index procedure.
- All subjects must undergo a SARS-CoV-2 test and have a negative result within 8 days of the Index Procedure to be eligible for study inclusion.
- If a SARS-CoV-2 test is unavailable due to institution policy, a test shortage, or if there is a delay in test results, the subject must complete the COVID- 19 questionnaire and answer NO to all questions to be eligible for study treatment.
- PT/INR to be obtained only if a subject is on chronic warfarin therapy.
- PTT to be obtained only if a subject is on chronic heparin therapy.
- Negative urine or blood pregnancy test is required for female subjects of childbearing potential within 7 days of the index procedure.
- All scheduled DUS exams should be performed per the protocol established by the core laboratory. If a DUS is non-diagnostic (per the imaging protocol), the site should make every effort to obtain a repeat exam within the visit window.
- All imaging of the target limb acquired during scheduled visits or an interventional procedure to the target limb (such as venogram, IVUS, DUS, or X- ray) should be submitted to the respective core laboratory within 3 business days.
- Required if DUS suggests >50% stenosis or occlusion of the stented segment, or if the DUS is non-diagnostic or sub-optimal (i.e., due to obesity).
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 requirin.
- 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:
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 ?=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 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 Stent(s) 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)
- 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.

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. 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.

- 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).

iEffectiveness 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).

Table 16 summarizes additional analyses conducted in FAS subjects by baseline
disease state. Primary patency by disease state in the FAS cohort was 86.7% in
the acute thrombotic cohort, 95.2% in the non-thrombotic cohort, and 79.4% in
the chronic post-thrombotic cohort.

Secondary Endpoints
Secondary endpoints are summarized in Table 17 – Table 21. As seen in Table 18
below, there was a sustained decrease in Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS)
– Pain Score from baseline to 12 months.

Secondary Patency at 12M| 95.4% (125/131)
(90.4%, 97.9%)
Data shown as mean ± SD (N) (min, median, max)
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.
- The Duo Stent remaining at the intended deployment location through completion of the index procedure as determined by the Principal Investigator (PI) 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-3Lcategories, 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
efficacy 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.

Covid Analysis
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 inboth
the SARS-CoV-2 negative subset and all subjects (regardless of SARS-CoV-2
status). The performance goals forboth 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 Vesper Duo Venous Stent 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 Vesper Duo Venous Stent 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.
