Venous Disease Clinical Trial

Vesper DUO Venous Stent System^®

The VIVID clinical trial is studying an investigational device called the Vesper DUO Venous Stent System that includes both the DUO-HYBRID™ and DUO-EXTEND™ stents. These new venous stents are designed to endure the unique forces and motion that happen in deep veins and may reduce the symptoms associated with CVI. They are being studied to treat iliac and common femoral vein blockages with or without a history of a blood clot in the legs.

VIVID is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of the Vesper DUO Venous Stent System in the treatment of iliofemoral occlusive disease.

160 patients will be enrolled at up to 45 U.S. and international clinical sites.

This study is being led by principal investigator Dr. Mahmood Razavi and is currently recruiting adult patients with CVI in the United States and Europe.

Exclusions:

If you are at least 18 years of age, your doctor will discuss the study with you in more detail and decide if you meet the criteria to participate in the VIVID Trial. By participating in this trial, you will receive at least 3 years of medical care related to your venous disease following the implant of your venous stent. If you do not qualify, your doctor will discuss other treatment options that are best for you. You will still continue to be followed by your doctor and be treated according to the standard of care at your treatment facility.
