The FDA-approved device tackles venous obstructions with a dual-stent design that includes hybrid and extend stents, according to a June 18 system news release shared with Becker’s. The study that led to its FDA approval enrolled 162 subjects across 30 centers, including Sanger. It found after 12 months, 90.2% of treated veins remained open and unobstructed and that the system had a success rate of 98.7%.
