Indications for Use

The VENOVO Venous Stent System is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction.

Device Story

The VENOVO Venous Stent System is a self-expanding nitinol stent pre-mounted on an over-the-wire, tri-axial delivery system. It is used by physicians in clinical settings to treat symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. The device is delivered to the target lesion via an introducer sheath; deployment is initiated by rotating a large wheel on the handle, which retracts the distal catheter assembly to release the stent. A red safety lock prevents premature deployment. The stent provides structural support to the venous wall, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms. Clinical benefits include improved patency, reduced pain (VCSS scores), and enhanced quality of life (CIVIQ-20 scores).

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence from the VERNACULAR prospective, multi-center, single-arm study (N=170). Primary safety endpoint: 93.5% freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days (90% CI: 89.5%, 96.3%), meeting the 89% performance goal. Primary effectiveness endpoint: 88.3% weighted primary patency at 12 months (90% CI: 82.4%, 94.2%), meeting the 74% performance goal (p < 0.0001). Secondary endpoints included significant improvements in VCSS pain scores and CIVIQ-20 quality of life scores at 12 months. No stent fractures reported at 12 months.

PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {1} # V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The VENOVO Venous Stent is a self-expanding nitinol (nickel-titanium) stent pre-mounted on a delivery system. # Description of Stent The VENOVO Venous Stent (Figure 1) is a flexible, self-expanding nitinol stent framework. The VENOVO Venous Stent is available in a variety of diameters and lengths. Stent diameters range from $10\mathrm{mm}$ to $20\mathrm{mm}$ and stent lengths from $40\mathrm{mm}$ to $160\mathrm{mm}$ . The diameter of the flared ends is approximately $3\mathrm{mm}$ larger than the diameter of the nominal stent body. The stent has a total of 12 markers located on the ends of the stent, six at each end. Three at each end are radiopaque tantalum markers and three are made out of nitinol. ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Figure 1: VENOVO® Venous Stent # Description of Delivery System The VENOVO stent is delivered to its intended deployment location via a delivery system (Figure 2). The stent is pre-mounted on the delivery system and compressed between the inner catheter and the stent sheath at the distal end of the delivery system. The VENOVO Venous Stent Delivery System is an over-the-wire delivery system. The delivery system has a tri-axial design. Depending on stent diameter, the delivery system catheters are compatible with 8F, 9F and 10F introducer sheaths. Delivery system shaft lengths are available at $80~\mathrm{cm}$ and 120 cm. The available sizes for the VENOVO Venous Stent System are listed in Table 1. Table 1: VENOVO Venous Stent System Product Size Configurations | Stent diameter (nominal) [mm] | Stent length (nominal) [mm] | Working length [cm] | Introducer sheath compatibility | Guidewire compatibility | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10 | 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 | 80, 120 | 8F | 0.035 in. | | 12 | | | | | | 14 | | | 9F | | | 16 | | | 10F | | | 18 | | | | | | 20 | | | | | PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {2} ![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg) Figure 2: VENOVO® Venous Stent Delivery System The inner catheter (not visible to the operator) contains the guidewire lumen. An atraumatic tip (A) is affixed to the distal end of the inner catheter which terminates at the female Luer connector (B) at the proximal end of the handle. A proximal system stability sheath (C) is connected to the distal end of the handle and remains stationary throughout the deployment process. The distal catheter assembly consists of two segments. The transparent stent delivery sheath (D) which houses the compressed stent (implant), and a darker brown, smaller diameter diving sheath (E). During stent deployment, the entire distal catheter assembly retracts towards the handle while the dark catheter segment is drawn inside the system stability sheath until the stent is fully deployed. Retraction of the distal catheter and deployment of the stent is initiated by rotating the large wheel (G) on the handle. The large deployment wheel is used for the initiation of deployment and a slower deployment rate whereas the small deployment wheel (H) may be used for faster deployment after initiation. A red safety lock (F) on the handle prevents premature release of the stent. Prior to stent deployment, the safety lock must be retracted from the locked position into the unlocked position. # VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES There are several alternatives used in the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. The current standard of care includes non-invasive therapies, such as exercise, compression therapy, and pharmaceutical therapy; minimally-invasive treatment options including percutaneous angioplasty and thrombolysis; and open surgical treatments including endophlebectomy or bypass. Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle. # VII. MARKETING HISTORY The VENOVO Venous Stent System has been commercially available outside the United States since October 2015. It was first marketed in the European Union and has been commercialized in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, India, Israel, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Taiwan. The device has never been withdrawn from any market as a result of risk of serious adverse health consequences or for any reason related to its safety or effectiveness.

Biocompatibility Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with applicable sections of ISO 10993, “Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing” and the FDA guidance document, “Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for Intravascular Stents and Associated Delivery Systems.” Test samples were manufactured in accordance with standard operating procedures, subjected to two cycles of ethylene oxide sterilization, and are representative of finished product. Components of the stent and delivery system were categorized per ISO 10993-1 based on the intended patient contact and duration. The stent was categorized as an implant device with permanent exposure (&gt; 30 days) to circulating blood, and the delivery system was categorized as an externally communicating device with limited (≤ 24 hours) exposure to circulating blood. Table 2 provides a listing of the biocompatibility tests performed for both the implant and delivery system along with corresponding results. All studies performed were in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations (21 CFR Part 58).

Clinical Endpoints The primary safety endpoint is freedom from any major adverse events (MAEs) through 30 days post-index procedure, as adjudicated by a CEC. The performance goal of freedom from primary safety event is 89%, which was set at 10% below the literature-derived average freedom from MAE rate at 30 days of 99%. A one-sided p-value was derived based on an exact binomial test. The study device was considered to have achieved the safety objective if the one-sided p-value was less than 0.05. Or equivalently, the lower limit of the one-sided 95% confidence limit based on the exact method is greater than 89%. MAE is defined as any of the following components through 30 days, which were determined by the CEC adjudication of AEs: - Target vessel revascularization (TVR), as defined as the first revascularization procedure of the target vessel as determined by an Independent Core Lab; - Device and/or procedure-related death; - Major amputation of target limb; - Pulmonary embolism which is clinically important (symptomatic with chest pain, hemoptysis, dyspnea, hypoxia, etc.); - Vascular injury requiring surgical/endovascular intervention; - Embolization/migration of stent; and - Device or procedure-related acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) involving the treated limb. Subjects who discontinued prior to day 30 and had no MAEs were considered as not evaluable for the endpoint and were not included in the denominator in calculating the summary statistics. The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study was primary patency at 12-months post-index procedure, defined as: freedom from TVR; freedom from thrombus occlusion and stenosis &gt; 50% as measured by DUS. The primary effectiveness endpoint was evaluated against a literature-derived performance goal (PG) of 74%, which was determined as 10% below a weighted mean of primary patency rate at 12-months (55% PTS subjects at primary patency rate of 77.1% and 45% NIVL subjects at primary patency rate of 93.4%). A one-sided p-value was derived using normal distribution. The primary effectiveness endpoint was considered to have achieved the primary effectiveness objective if the one-sided p-value was less than 0.05, and a significant rejection of the null hypothesis would have indicated success for this endpoint. Success was determined if the lower limit of the two-sided 90% confidence limit of the combined patency rate based on the weighted Z-statistics was greater than the PG of 74%. Two secondary endpoints were evaluated with formal hypothesis testing. These were the 12-month VCSS pain assessment change from baseline and the 12-month CIVIQ-20 change from baseline. PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 16 {16} Secondary endpoints without hypothesis testing included the following: - Evaluation of VCSS Scores assessed at screening/baseline and at 30-days, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-months and at any target lesion revascularization (TLR) or TVR; - QoL as assessed by the screening/CIVIQ-20 at baseline, 30-days and 6-, 12-, 24- and 36-months post-index procedure and at any TLR/TVR; - Evaluation of CEAP Scores assessed at baseline and at 30-days, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-months and at any TLR/TVR; - Acute Procedure Success defined as technical success with no major adverse events between index procedure and discharge; - Lesion Success defined as attainment of ≤ 50% residual stenosis at the conclusion of the index procedure; - Acute Technical Success defined as successful deployment of stent(s) to intended target with adequate lesion coverage as assessed by the Investigator; - Freedom from Target Lesion Revascularization at 30-days, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-months post-index procedure. TLR is defined as the first revascularization procedure of the target lesion(s) following the index procedure, as determined by an Independent Core Lab; - Freedom from Target Vessel Revascularization at 30-days, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-months post-index procedure. TVR is defined as the first revascularization procedure in the target vessel(s) following the index procedure, as determined by an Independent Core Lab; - Primary Patency defined as freedom from TVR; freedom from thrombus occlusion and stenosis &gt; 50% as measured by DUS at 24-, and 36-months; - X-ray analysis for stent fracture at 12-, 24-, and 36-months. ## B. Subject Accountability in the PMA Study Overall, 231 subjects were consented into the VERNACULAR study. One hundred and seventy (170) subjects were treated with the study device and formed the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. Of the sixty-one (61) subjects which were enrolled but not treated, fifty-eight (58) subjects did not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined above and were considered screen failures. The remaining three (3) subjects met all eligibility criteria but were not treated with the study device: one (1) subject was consented but could not be treated prior to completion of overall enrollment of the study, and two (2) subjects were enrolled in a different device trial at the discretion of the investigator. One hundred and fifty-six (156) subjects were available for the effectiveness analysis at 12-months as of July 17, 2018 (date of database lock). Of the fourteen (14) subjects that did not have a 12-month follow-up, three (3) subjects withdrew consent, four (4) subjects died, three (3) subjects were lost to follow-up, and four (4) subjects missed the 12-month visit with the following caveat. Five (5) subjects PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 17 {17} missed the 12-month follow-up visit. One (1) subject was lost to follow-up at day 398 and is therefore accounted for in the lost to follow-up total and not the missed visit total listed in Figure 3. Figure 3 depicts the number of subjects included in the safety and effectiveness analyses. The death events were adjudicated by the CEC and determined to not be related to the study device or procedure.

PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {21} # D. Safety and Effectiveness Results # 1. Safety Results The primary safety endpoint of the study was freedom from MAEs through 30 days post-index procedure, as adjudicated by the CEC. The PG of freedom from a primary safety event was $89\%$ , which was set at $10\%$ below the literature-derived average freedom from MAE rate of $99\%$ at 30 days. The 30-day primary safety rate for the VENOVO Venous Stent demonstrated a statistically significant difference from the PG of $89\%$ . The MAE rate through 30 days was $93.5\%$ with a $90\%$ confidence interval $[89.5\%, 96.3\%]$ . The key safety outcome for this study is presented in Table 10. Adverse events are reported in Table 11.

The $p$ -value is computed compared with performance goal = 89% on one-sided exact binomial test. The 90% confidence interval is calculated using the exact binomial method. *Six (6) of the eleven (11) subjects had more than one MAE (i.e. TVR and device or procedure related DVT) As represented in Table 10 above, eleven (11) subjects experienced MAEs. Six of these eleven subjects experienced more than one MAE. One subject experienced one (1) clinically significant pulmonary embolism (PE) after the index procedure, which was determined by the CEC to not be device- or procedure-related. Six (6) subjects were reported to have a TVR and a procedure- or device-related DVT after index procedure. Four (4) subjects were reported to have a procedure or device-related DVT. These eleven (11) subjects were counted as failures (per the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP)) toward the primary safety endpoint. Any subject who did not experience an identified MAE and did not discontinue the study prior to day 30 was considered free from MAE through 30 days and was included in the analysis. Figure 4 presents the Kaplan-Meier curve for primary safety endpoint through 30 days for all treated subjects.

Note that events were coded using MedDRA version 16.1. All AEs up to Day 395 were included. The summary is by subject. Some AEs may be described by multiple preferred terms, in these cases only the most pertinent term was used. There were four (4) deaths reported in the 12-month follow-up period. Two (2) deaths were classified as unknown per CEC adjudication because the subjects expired with an unknown cause. The remaining two death events were adjudicated by the CEC and determined to not be related to the study device or procedure. One (1) subject expired from metastatic rectal cancer and one (1) subject expired from acute myocardial infarction resulting in cardiac arrest. # 2. Effectiveness Results The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study was primary patency at 12-months post-index procedure, defined as: freedom from TVR and freedom from thrombus occlusion and stenosis $&gt;50\%$ as measured by DUS. The primary effectiveness endpoint was evaluated using the 145 ITT subjects with evaluable 12-month follow up imaging. The primary effectiveness endpoint was evaluated against a literature-derived PG of $74\%$ , which was set at $10\%$ below the weighted mean of primary patency rate at 12-months as a combination of $55\%$ PTS subjects at primary patency rate of $77.1\%$ and $45\%$ NIVL subjects at primary patency rate of $93.4\%$ . As presented in Table 12, the 12-month weighted primary patency rate in the VENOVO Venous Stent group was $88.3\%$ with $90\%$ CI $[82.4\%, 94.2\%]$ and met the PG of $74\%$ .

Secondary Endpoints Table 13 presents information on secondary endpoints without hypothesis testing. These secondary endpoints were evaluated at the time of the procedure: acute technical success, acute procedure success, and lesion success. Acute Technical Success as defined as successful deployment of stent(s) to intended target with adequate lesion coverage as assessed by the Investigator was achieved in $100\%$ (170/170) of the treated study population. Acute Procedure Success as defined as technical success with no MAEs (see primary safety endpoint definition) between index procedure and discharge was achieved in $98.8\%$ (168/170) of the treated population with two subjects in the PTS subgroup recorded MAEs. Lesion Success defined as attainment of $\leq 50\%$ residual stenosis (based on Core Lab assessment) at the conclusion of the index procedure was achieved in $100\%$ (170/170) of the study population. Freedom from TLR was $96.5\%$ at 30 days, $94.7\%$ at 6-months, and $92.6\%$ at 12-months in the evaluable subjects. Freedom from TVR, as determined by an independent Core Lab was $96.5\%$ at 30 days, $94.7\%$ at 6-months, and $92.6\%$ at 12-months in the evaluable subjects. Stents were evaluated at the 12-month follow-up for fracture analysis. X-rays from one hundred thirty-seven (137) subjects were analyzed, and no stent fractures were reported. Missing x-ray analyses were recorded as Protocol Deviations.

No differences were noted based on age or gender. The small differences based on race and ethnicity are likely due to the small sample size. # 5. Pediatric Extrapolation In this premarket application, existing clinical data were not leveraged to support approval of a pediatric patient population. # E. Financial Disclosure The Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators regulation (21 CFR 54) requires applicants who submit a marketing application to include certain information concerning the compensation to, and financial interests and arrangement of, any clinical investigator conducting clinical studies covered by the regulation. The clinical study included 22 investigators of which none were full-time or part-time employees of the sponsor and 7 had disclosable financial interests/arrangements as defined in 21 CFR 54.2(a), (b), (c) and (f) and described below: - Compensation to the investigator for conducting the study where the value could be influenced by the outcome of the study: 0 Significant payment of other sorts: 7 - Proprietary interest in the product tested held by the investigator: 0 Significant equity interest held by investigator in sponsor of covered study: 0 The applicant has adequately disclosed the financial interest/arrangements with clinical investigators. An initial analysis was conducted which did not raise any questions about the reliability of the data. # XI. PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) 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 PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {31} information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel. ## XII. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM CLINICAL STUDY ### A. Effectiveness Conclusions The *in vitro* engineering testing conducted on the stent and delivery system demonstrated that the performance characteristics of the device met the product specifications. The test results obtained from sterilization testing demonstrated that the product can be adequately sterilized and is acceptable for clinical use. The shelf life testing has established acceptable performance for a labeled shelf life up to 2 years. The global, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center VERNACULAR clinical study was designed to evaluate the VENOVO Venous Stent for the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study was primary patency at 12-months post-index procedure, defined as: freedom from TVR and freedom from thrombus occlusion and stenosis &gt; 50% as measured by DUS. The primary effectiveness endpoint was evaluated against a literature-derived PG based on a weighted mean of primary patency rate at 12-month in subjects with Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) or non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVL). The 12-month weighted primary patency rate in the 145 subjects with evaluable imaging was 88.3% with a 90% CI [82.4%, 94.2%] and met the PG of 74% as derived from literature (one-sided p-value &lt; 0.0001). Additionally, patients improved clinically as demonstrated by reductions in the VCSS Pain Score, CIVIQ-20 assessment, and CEAP classifications at 12-months. ### B. Safety Conclusions The biocompatibility and *in vivo* animal testing demonstrated that the acute and chronic *in vivo* performance characteristics of the VENOVO Venous Stent provide reasonable assurance of safety and acceptability for the intended clinical use. In the VERNACULAR trial, all 170 treated study subjects were included in the 30-day primary safety analysis. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAEs) through 30 days defined as the following: - Target Vessel Revascularization - Device and/or procedure related death - Major amputation of target limb - Pulmonary Embolism (PE) which is clinically important (symptomatic with chest pain, hemoptysis, dyspnea, hypoxia, etc.) - Vascular injury requiring surgical/endovascular intervention - Embolization/migration of stent - Device or procedure related acute DVT involving the treated limb. PMA P180037: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 32 {32} The proportion of subjects free from primary safety events was 93.5% with 90% CI [89.5%, 96.3%], which met the literature-derived PG of 89%. No deaths occurred that were related to the study device. In addition, no stent fractures were reported at 12-months. ## C. Benefit-Risk Determination The probable benefits and risks 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 using the VENOVO Venous Stent to treat symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction is providing an alternative treatment method to current standard of care by improving blood flow and quality of life. The frequency and the types of the adverse events reported through the pivotal clinical study are in alignment with those that might be expected in the studied patient population and therapeutic area. In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks for using the VENOVO Venous Stent for the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. ## 1. Patient Perspectives This submission did not include specific information on patient perspectives for this device. ## D. Overall Conclusions The clinical and non-clinical data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the devices when used in accordance with the indications for use. The results of the prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm clinical study demonstrate that the VENOVO Venous Stent is safe and effective in the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous obstruction when used in accordance with the labeling and Instructions for Use. ## XIII. CDRH DECISION CDRH issued an approval order on 3/13/2019 with the following Conditions of Approval. Post-Approval Study – VERNACULAR Continued Follow-Up Study.
