Summary: The Venovo Venous Stent System is a device used to treat symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. Key evidence highlights its use in various venous systems with some reported complications.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway ? PMA
Number ? P180037 ↗
Decision Date ? March 13, 2019
Product Code ? QAN Stent, Iliac Vein
Device Class ? Class 3
Evidence ? 3 studies

The Venovo Venous Stent System was cleared by the FDA via the PMA pathway on March 13, 2019. It is manufactured by Bard Peripheral Vascular and classified as a Class 3 device.

What It Is

The Venovo Venous Stent System is designed to treat symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. It is a self-expanding stent that provides support to the venous walls, facilitating improved blood flow.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction.

Clinical Applications

  • Endovascular treatment of symptomatic obstruction in the iliac and common femoral venous outflow pathways.
  • Stent placement to maintain venous patency after treatment of an iliofemoral venous obstruction.
  • Treatment of symptomatic venous outflow obstruction associated with chronic venous disease when the affected anatomy meets the device labeling.

Reported off-label uses

  • Use in venous segments or clinical conditions outside the labeled iliofemoral indication may occur in practice, but this is off-label and should be determined by the treating specialist.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Evidence Summary

The literature includes various study types such as RCTs, prospective, and retrospective studies, with a total of 6 studies ranging from 2018 to 2025. These studies explore the device's efficacy and safety in clinical settings.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the Venovo Venous Stent System effectively restores venous patency in patients with iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. Comparative studies highlight its performance against other stents, with some showing favorable outcomes in terms of complication rates and reintervention needs.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include embolization of the stent and issues related to device recall. Safety data from the MAUDE database highlights adverse events, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection and monitoring.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the relatively small number of studies directly comparing the Venovo stent to other devices. Further research is needed to establish long-term outcomes and to explore its use in diverse patient populations.

Practical Considerations

  • The device is a self-expanding stent delivered through a catheter under fluoroscopic imaging, typically through femoral or other suitable venous access.
  • The appropriate stent diameter and length depend on the patient's venous anatomy, the location and length of obstruction, and the manufacturer's sizing instructions.
  • Patients require assessment for thrombus, vessel anatomy, bleeding risk, anticoagulation needs, and other causes of venous symptoms before treatment.
  • MRI eligibility depends on the current device labeling and specified scanning conditions; the implant card and manufacturer instructions should be reviewed before MRI.
  • Potential complications include stent migration, thrombosis or occlusion, vessel injury, bleeding at the access site, recurrent obstruction, and the need for additional treatment.
