# V. Device Description
The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis is a flexible, self-expanding endoluminal endoprosthesis consisting of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) lining with an external nitinol (NiTi=Nickel:Titanium) supporting structure extending along its entire length, as depicted in Figure 1. The luminal surface of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with Heparin Bioactive is modified with a covalently bound, bioactive heparin technology referred to as the Carmeda BioActive Surface (CBAS®).

Figure 1: The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis
The endoprosthesis is compressed and attached to a dual lumen delivery catheter, as shown in Figure 2. The larger central catheter lumen is utilized for flushing and introduction of a guidewire. The smaller lumen contains elements of the deployment mechanism. The delivery catheter hub assembly has one port for the deployment system and one port for flushing and guidewire insertion. To facilitate accurate endoprosthesis placement, two radiopaque markers are attached to the catheter shaft, marking the ends of the compressed endoprosthesis.

{4}
artery. Approval of subsequent supplements expanded the indications for use to include treatment of stenosis of the iliac artery and permitted marketing of newer device designs and sizes. These supplements to P040037 included S002 that approved modifications to the endoprosthesis and delivery catheter design to reduce the overall delivery profile of the device by one french size; S003 that approved the addition of a 5 mm diameter endoprosthesis; S004 that approved the addition of a heparin coating on the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis, referred to as the Heparin BioActive Surface; S013 that approved a modification of the design platform of the large diameter device (9-13 mm diameter); and S050 that approved the addition of a 25 cm length for the 5-8 mm diameter endoprostheses.
The SSED containing the non-clinical and clinical data to support the original indication is available on the CDRH website and is incorporated by reference here. The current PMA (P130006) was submitted to expand the indication for the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis and the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with Heparin Bioactive Surface (hereafter referred to as the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis) to include the treatment of stenosis or thrombotic occlusion at the venous anastomosis of synthetic arteriovenous (AV) access grafts. The non-clinical data reviewed under P040037 and its supplements were found adequate to support the new indication of treating the venous anastomosis of AV access grafts as part of PMA P130006.
X. Summary of Clinical Study for AV Access Revision
One primary clinical study was conducted to support the expanded indication for the revision of the venous anastomosis of arteriovenous access circuits with the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis. Key characteristics of the clinical studies are provided in Table 2 below:

## A. Study Design
The AVR 06-01 study (IDE G070069) was a prospective, randomized, multicenter, controlled clinical trial. The objective of the study was to establish effectiveness and safety of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface when used to revise arteriovenous (AV) prosthetic grafts at the venous anastomosis in the maintenance or re-establishment of vascular access for hemodialysis.
The study was approved to enroll 280 randomized subjects at 31 clinical sites. However, due to a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommendation to exclude subject data from the effectiveness analysis for enrolled subjects that were ineligible for participation (e.g., protocol deviations at enrollment: clinical and/or angiographic inclusion/exclusion not met) and the potential for those data to bias the analysis, Gore replaced 15 subjects. Two hundred ninety-five (295) patients were enrolled, randomized, and treated in the AVR 06-01 study. One subject was excluded from all study analyses upon recommendation from the study's Medical Director and DSMB due to iatrogenic procedural complications. A second subject was excluded upon recommendation from the sponsor's legal team for an institutional site's failure to collect the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Authorization. Therefore, 293 subjects comprise the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) analysis group; four subjects were enrolled as non-randomized subjects into the "Rupture" arm
PMA P130006: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{6}
of the study. Subjects were enrolled between September 8, 2008 and May 17, 2011.
Sample size calculations for the study were based on the primary effectiveness endpoint, time-to-event of loss of target lesion primary patency, using an alpha of 0.025 and a beta of 0.20.
Of the 293 subjects in the ITT cohort, one hundred forty-five (145) subjects were randomized to the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group (test group) and 148 subjects were randomized to receive percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA; control group). Four patients were enrolled as study subjects in the non-randomized "Rupture" arm of the study. Study subjects were followed for effectiveness and safety to withdrawal or study completion at 24 months. Data presented are based on all known information and include a minimum of 6-month follow-up on all study subjects.
An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) was established in order to review safety data during the accrual phase of the study, and on an ongoing basis as needed. The DSMB was comprised of an interdisciplinary team that represented the disciplines of interventional radiology, interventional nephrology, transplant surgery, and biostatistics. This team was not directly involved in the conduct of the study. Recommendations could have included modifying the study, stopping the study, or continuing the study without modification. No Clinical Events Committee or core-imaging laboratory was used for this study.

## 2. Pre-Treatment and Follow-Up Schedule
The pre-treatment evaluation of patients included a review of the medical and vascular access history as well as a physical exam.
A block randomization scheme by site was employed to ensure that each clinical site enrolled approximately the same number of subjects in each treatment arm. Subjects were randomly assigned equally (1:1) to either the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group or the PTA group. Blocks were six subjects in size. Randomization was on a per-subject basis.
Subjects with an angioplasty-induced rupture unresponsive to balloon tamponade were eligible, based on the discretion of the site Investigator, for treatment with the VIABAHN device as non-randomized subjects as long as all other eligibility criteria were met ("Rupture Arm"). All pre- and post-procedural measurements of the vascular access and other procedure-related data were collected. Pre- and post-procedural imaging was required to document the severity of vein rupture and to measure required anatomical characteristics. All elements of the AVR 06-01 protocol were applied, including all follow-up requirements and adverse event reporting.
The goal of study follow-up was to track the natural course of the vascular access as the subject undergoes regular hemodialysis at their respective dialysis center. As such, there were no protocol requirements for additional
PMA P130006: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 9
{9}
follow-up visits, imaging such as angiography at pre-specified intervals, or the collection of hemodialysis-specific clinical parameters. Site investigators and dialysis centers followed their institutional procedures for hemodialysis access surveillance.
At minimum, the Clinical Study Coordinator contacted the dialysis center at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 - months post procedure to ascertain:
- date of last dialysis;
- if applicable, information regarding repeat intervention(s) including graft abandonment; and
- if applicable, adverse event or withdrawal information.
Subjects with dysfunctional or thrombosed grafts were referred for appropriate evaluation and treatment.
Type of repeat intervention to maintain or re-establish circuit patency was based on the best clinical judgment of physician (or per institutional standard of care). It was recommended to revise with investigational VIABAHN® devices for both test and control groups if necessary. The location of reintervention within the vascular access circuit was documented.
## 3. Clinical endpoints
Study endpoints and additional assessments were derived from the Society of Interventional Radiology’s reporting standards for percutaneous interventions in dialysis access¹,²,³. These endpoints were assessed over a 24-month follow-up period at intervals of 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study was target lesion primary patency, defined as the time interval of uninterrupted patency from initial study treatment to the next access thrombosis or intervention performed on the target lesion.
The primary safety hypothesis for the AVR 06-01 study was to demonstrate that the proportion of subjects remaining free from major device-, procedure-, and treatment site-related adverse events through 30 days post-procedure in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group was not inferior to that of the PTA group. The p-value was computed using a one-sided non-inferiority test of proportions. If the p-value was less than or equal to 0.05, the proportion of subjects remaining free from major device-, procedure-, and treatment site-

{10}
related adverse events through 30 days post-procedure in the GORE® VIABAHN® Device group demonstrated non-inferiority to the PTA group. For the non-inferiority analysis for safety, a delta of 15% was chosen as the smallest difference in the proportion of subjects experiencing major device-, procedure-, and treatment site-related adverse events that would be clinically relevant.
The primary analytical technique for follow-up endpoints and assessments was the time-to-event analysis, which employs methodologies such as Kaplan-Meier estimation, log-rank tests, and mean cumulative functions. Time-to-event analysis allowed for both: (a) omnibus assessment of difference across time; and (b) effective incorporation of information from censored subjects.
The study would be considered a success only if both the primary effectiveness and primary safety endpoints were met. One formal statistical analysis was planned in support of the PMA application, which was performed once all subjects (a) had either completed six months of follow-up or (b) had been withdrawn from the study. All subjects underwent post-market follow-up until they (a) either completed 24 months of follow-up or (b) withdrew from the study.
The study incorporated the following secondary endpoints. No statistical hypotheses were pre-specified for any of these endpoints:
- Anatomic Success: < 30% residual stenosis following study treatment.
- Clinical Success: The resumption of normal dialysis for at least one session.
- Procedural Success: Composite of anatomic and clinical success endpoints.
- Circuit Primary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to the next access thrombosis or intervention performed within the vascular access circuit.
- Assisted Primary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to occlusion (thrombosis) of the vascular access circuit.
- Access Secondary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to abandonment of the vascular access circuit.
- Treatment Site Secondary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to the elimination of the target lesion from the vascular access circuit.
- Freedom from adverse events
B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
The 293 patients enrolled, randomized, and treated in the REVISE study comprised the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) analysis group. All demographics, physical characteristics, medical and vascular histories, and safety analyses were
PMA P130006: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 11
{11}
conducted using this ITT cohort. Two hundred sixty-nine (269) subjects comprised the Effectiveness Evaluable analysis group. Based on DSMB recommendations, twenty-four subjects were removed from effectiveness analysis due to protocol deviations. Figure 3 and Table 4 describe the number of subjects available in the ITT cohort at each follow-up interval. Table 5 describes the number of patients withdrawn and the reasons for withdrawal with a statistical comparison between treatment groups.
If angioplasty of the target lesion caused venous rupture that was uncontrolled by balloon tamponade, the patient was ineligible for randomization into the study. However, in such a situation, the patient was eligible for enrollment as a non-randomized GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis subject as long as all other eligibility criteria were met. Four subjects enrolled in the non-randomized rupture arm but were not included as part of the ITT or effectiveness populations. However, one of these subjects was a screen failure. Three (3) subjects remain in the non-randomized cohort for analysis.

# C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters
Baseline assessments of the REVISE study subjects include demographics, medical history, and vascular access history as described in Table 6 and Table 7. Overall, the majority of subjects enrolled were Black or African American at $52.7\%$ (154/292) followed by White or Caucasian at $40.1\%$ (117/292). The only statistically significant difference between treatment groups for baseline assessments was in relation to Hispanic or Latino ethnicity $(p = 0.036)$ . However, Hispanic or Latino ethnicity was not predominant in either of the treatment groups. Most subjects enrolled in AVR 06-01 presented with diabetes, hypertension, or both, with the exception of only one subject. There were no significant differences between treatment groups in relation to a medical history of diabetes or hypertension as well as hemodialysis access history. The subjects have been on dialysis for $3.85 \pm 4.05$ yrs using their current access for $2.11 \pm 2.31$ yrs with $1.83 \pm 2.27$ prior interventions at the treatment site.

# Treatment Details
There were no differences between treatment groups with relation to treatment details. Data presented here represent the overall ITT population not stratified by treatment group.
Table 8 describes the indication for the procedure at enrollment. Subjects could present with multiple indications for the procedure. The majority of subjects presented with graft thrombosis at $44.0\%$ (129/293) followed by low blood flow at $29.4\%$ (86/293). There were no differences between treatment groups in relation to indication for procedure.
Table 9 describes the target lesion characteristics. On average, the percent stenosis of the target lesion was $73.4 \pm 13.2$ . The distance from the venous

# 1. Safety Results
The primary analysis of safety was based on the ITT cohort of 293 subjects that completed 24-months of study follow-up or were withdrawn prior to 24 months. The primary safety endpoint of the REVISE study was met. The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group demonstrated statistical non-inferiority as compared to the PTA group for major device-, procedure-, and treatment site-related adverse events through 30 days post-procedure as described in Table 12 (p<0.001).
## Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study:
There were no major device-, procedure-, and treatment site-related adverse events reported during any time interval in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group.
The proportions of subjects experiencing any major adverse event in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group and the PTA group are described in Table 13. No spontaneous migrations, fractures, malpositions, or deployment failures of the VIABAHN® device were reported as a major adverse event.
The proportions of subjects experiencing any adverse event (major or minor) in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group and the PTA group are described in Table 14. No fractures, malpositions, or deployment failures of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis were reported as a minor adverse event. One iatrogenic (clinician error) migration was reported as a minor adverse event.
There were no reported unanticipated adverse device effects.
Forty-six subjects expired during the course of study follow-up; 23 subjects expired in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group, 22 subjects expired in the PTA group, and one subject expired in the Non-Randomized group. The DSMB reviewed all study-related deaths and determined that no death was related to the study device or procedure.
No subgroup analyses of safety were performed for the REVISE study.

# 2. Effectiveness Results
The primary analysis of effectiveness was based on the ITT cohort of 269 subjects that completed 24 months of study follow-up or were withdrawn prior to 24 months. The primary effectiveness endpoint of the REVISE study was met, with the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group demonstrating statistical superiority of target lesion primary patency over the PTA group as described in Figure 3 and Table 15 (p=0.008). The GORE® VIABAHN® Device group extended the median time of target lesion primary patency over PTA by 95 days (88.0%); the median time to loss of target lesion primary patency in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group was 203 days versus 108 days in the PTA group.
The circuit primary patency of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis and PTA groups, defined as the time interval from initial study treatment to the next access thrombosis or intervention performed within the vascular access circuit, are described in Table 16. The median time to loss of circuit primary patency in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group was 126 days versus 91 days in the PTA group.
The anatomic, clinical, and procedural success rates for the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis and PTA groups are described in Table 17. These endpoints were defined as:
- Anatomic Success: < 30% residual stenosis following study treatment.
- Clinical Success: The resumption of normal dialysis for at least one session.
- Procedural Success: Composite of anatomic and clinical success endpoints.
The rates of assisted primary patency, access secondary patency, and treatment site secondary patency for the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis and PTA groups are described in Tables 18 – 20. These endpoints were defined as:
- Assisted Primary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to occlusion (thrombosis) of the vascular access circuit.
- Access Secondary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to abandonment of the vascular access circuit.
- Treatment Site Secondary Patency: The time interval from initial study treatment to the elimination of the target lesion from the vascular access circuit.

## Non-Randomized Rupture Group Results
The times to loss of target lesion primary patency in the three non-randomized subjects in the rupture group were 203, 395, and 496 days. Time to loss of circuit primary patency in each of these subjects was 56, 395, and 496 days.
## 3. Subgroup Analysis
The following preoperative characteristics were evaluated for potential association with effectiveness outcomes. No statistical hypotheses were pre-specified for these subgroups; each of these analyses was post-hoc.
- Gender
- Thrombosis
- Presence of Secondary Lesion
- Repeat Intervention
- Crossing the Elbow (Antecubital Fossa)

Page 28
# Gender
Regardless of gender, target lesion and circuit primary patency was higher in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group at 6 months as compared to the PTA group. While the study was not originally designed or powered for this analysis, no significant differences in adverse event rates were noted between males and females. The proportion of female subjects enrolled in the study was representative of the overall hemodialysis population and typical of enrollment in hemodialysis access clinical studies.
# Thrombosis
Patency outcomes were stratified by the indication for procedure as follows: a) thrombosis and b) non-thrombosis indications. Examples of non-thrombosis indications for study procedure included decreased intragraft blood flow, elevated venous pressures, abnormal physical findings (e.g., arm swelling and prolonged time to hemostasis), or unexplained decrease in delivered dialysis dose.
In the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group, at 6 months, the percentage of thrombotic subjects maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 36.1% and 34.2%. In the PTA group, at 6 months, the percentage of thrombotic subjects maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 23.5% and 21.8%.
In the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group, at 6 months, the percentage of non-thrombotic subjects maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 64.6% and 49.7%. In the PTA group, at 6 months, the percentage of non-thrombotic subjects maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 45.8% and 35.9%.
# Presence of Secondary Lesion
Patency outcomes were stratified by the presence or absence of a secondary lesion identified and treated during the initial study procedure.
In the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group, at 6 months, the percentage of subjects enrolled with a secondary lesion maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency were both 37.1%. In the PTA group, at 6 months, the percentage of subjects enrolled with a secondary lesion maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 30.6 and 26.9%.
In the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group, at 6 months, the percentage of subjects enrolled without a secondary lesion maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 57.0% and 45.1%. In the PTA group, at 6 months, the percentage of subjects enrolled without a secondary
{28}
lesion maintaining target lesion and circuit primary patency was 36.7% and 30.0%.
## Repeat Intervention
At 24 months, the mean cumulative number of repeat interventions at the target lesion in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group was 2.688 per subject versus 3.724 per subject in the PTA group.
At 24 months, the mean cumulative number of repeat interventions for the vascular access circuit in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group was 3.725 per subject versus 5.141 per subject in the PTA group.
## Crossing the Elbow (Antecubital Fossa)
Patency data in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group were stratified by whether or not the treatment crossed the elbow.
When the treatment crossed the elbow, the rate of target lesion primary patency was 72.4% in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group and 49.2% in the PTA group. The rate of circuit primary patency was 67.3% in the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis group and 39.0% in the PTA group.
## 4. Overall Conclusions from Clinical Data
Data presented in this report provides a reasonable assurance that:
(a) The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis is safe and effective when used as intended;
(b) The effectiveness of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis is superior to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty; and

## XI. Panel Meeting Recommendation and FDA’s Post-Panel Action
In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(2) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Circulatory System Devices Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel.
## XII. Conclusions Drawn From Preclinical and Clinical Studies
### A. Effectiveness Conclusions
The primary effectiveness endpoint, target lesion primary patency, was evaluated in 269 subjects and was statistically superior for the GORE Viabahn Endoprosthesis as compared to PTA (median time of 203 days vs. 108 days). Therefore, the primary effectiveness endpoint was met and the results demonstrate a reasonable assurance of device effectiveness.
### B. Safety Conclusions
The risks of the device are based on previously conducted non-clinical laboratory and animal studies, as well as on data collected in a clinical study to support PMA approval as described above. The primary safety endpoint of the clinical study, the rate of major device-, procedure-, and treatment site-related adverse events through 30 days post-procedure, was evaluated in 293 subjects and was statistically non-inferior for the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis as compared to PTA (0.0% vs. 1.4%). Therefore, the primary safety endpoint was met and the results demonstrate a reasonable assurance of device safety.
### C. Benefit-Risk Conclusions
The probable benefits of the device are also based on data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. The probable benefit of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis in improving the

ability to perform hemodialysis access outweigh the probable risks associated with use of the device.
Patient follow-up from the pivotal clinical study was satisfactory and with limited missing data, and the study endpoints were clinically meaningful. The study results are superior to the results of balloon angioplasty alone. Follow-up for the PMA was 24 months, which allows for sufficient evaluation of the durability and long-term safety of the stent-grafting procedure.
Many patients receive long-term hemodialysis due to kidney failure or other chronic, incurable conditions that can greatly affect their quality of life. Alternative treatments for hemodynamic failures of hemodialysis access pathways, including the use of other interventional devices, were carefully considered. The use of endovascular stent-grafts such as the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis has the potential to improve the ability to perform hemodialysis with less need for repeat revascularization or access establishment procedures, the reduction of which is highly valued by physicians and patients. Patient risk is minimized via appropriate patient selection and device usage, as communicated in the physician labeling.
In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that for the treatment of stenosis or thrombotic occlusion at the venous anastomosis of synthetic arteriovenous (AV) access grafts, the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks.
## D. Overall Conclusions
The data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of this device when used in accordance with the indications for use.
The safety and effectiveness of the treatment of stenotic or thrombotic arteriovenous access grafts with the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis has been established with the REVISE study, in conjunction with non-clinical testing previously conducted. The primary safety and effectiveness endpoints for the REVISE study were met. The primary effectiveness analysis demonstrates significantly higher target lesion primary patency for the device, as compared to PTA. The primary safety analysis demonstrates comparable adverse event rates for the device and PTA. Key secondary analyses provided additional demonstration of device safety and effectiveness. Taken together, these data confirm that the overall clinical benefit outweighs the overall clinical risk for the approved indications for use.
