FLUENCY® PLUS in the Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease

April 28, 2022 updated by: C. R. Bard

A Retrospective, Multi-Center, Real World Study of the BD Bard FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft in the Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease

This is a retrospective, multi-center study to assess the safety and performance by proactively reviewing pre-existing medical records and imaging of patients who had previous placement of FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft in iliac artery vessel(s) between January 2010 and March 2020.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively collect and analyze data on the FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft to summarize and describe real-world experience, and long-term data regarding its safety and efficacy and to compare these findings with published data on stent-treatment in iliac artery disease. The present study aims to collect clinical data about FLUENCY® treatment of atherosclerotic disease (stenosis, occlusion, dissection) as well as to explore safety and effectiveness data for off-label use in additional indications in the iliac segment that have been described in the scientific literature (vessel rupture, aneurysm).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult patients with iliac artery disease.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft implantation procedure was for the purpose of lesions in the iliac arteries.
  • The FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft was placed between January 2010 and March 2020.
  • Male or female ≥ 18 years old at the time of implantation.
  • The subject provides written informed consent. The subject may be enrolled without informed consent for anonymous data collection if the responsible Ethics Committee has waived the requirement due to the retrospective study design, and written documentation about this decision is provided to the Investigator and the Sponsor.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft was implanted in an anatomic location other than iliac arteries.
  • Absence of a target lesion (i.e. diseased or damaged artery) in the area covered by the FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft.
  • Subjects without any existing follow-up information after hospital discharge (This criterion does not apply to subjects who deceased during implantation/prior to discharge).
  • The subject was identified with a medical condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may cause him/her to be noncompliant with the protocol, or confound the data interpretation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Freedom from major complications
Time Frame: 30 days
Freedom from device- and/or procedure-related death or myocardial infarction (MI), or any Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR), or target limb major amputation (above the ankle) through 30 days following the index procedure.
30 days
Target Lesion Revascularization
Time Frame: 12 months
Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) through 12-months post-index procedure.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Technical Success
Time Frame: During Procedure
Proportions of lesions with technical success. Technical success is defined as the successful treatment of the target lesion at the index procedure using the FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft, as reported in the questionnaire by the Investigator.
During Procedure
Procedural Success
Time Frame: From Procedure until patient is discharged from hospital (average of 2 days)
Proportions of patients with technical success and no peri-procedural complications (death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), emergent surgical revascularization, significant distal embolization in target limb, and thrombosis of target vessel) prior to hospital discharge.
From Procedure until patient is discharged from hospital (average of 2 days)
Target Lesion Revascularization
Time Frame: 24 months, 36 months, 60 months
Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) through 24 (if applicable)-, 36 (if applicable)-, and 60 (if applicable)-months post-index procedure.
24 months, 36 months, 60 months
Target Vessel Revascularization
Time Frame: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months
Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) through 12-, 24 (if applicable)-,36 (if applicable) and 60 (if applicable)-months post-index procedure. TVR is defined as the first revascularization procedure (e.g. PTA, stenting, surgical bypass, etc.) in the target vessel segment following the index procedure.
12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months
Sustained Clinical Success
Time Frame: 30 days, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months
Proportions of patients with sustained cumulative improvement from baseline value of ≥ 1 Rutherford Category at 30-days and 12-, 24 (if applicable)-, 36 (if applicable) and 60 (if applicable)-months post-index procedure, as determined by the Investigator.

Primary Patency at 12-, 24 (if applicable)-, 36 (if applicable)- and 60 (if applicable)- months post-index procedure (freedom from TLR and restenosis). Restenosis will be assessed by duplex ultrasonography (DUS) or angiography and is present when the target lesion is determined to have >50% stenosis, as determined by the Investigator.
12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months
Puncture site complications
Time Frame: From Procedure until patient is discharged from hospital (average of 2 days)
