Wallstent Venous Endoprosthesis with Unistep Plus Delivery System
Product: Venous Wallstent — all models and sizes
FDA Clearance Information
The Wallstent Venous Endoprosthesis was cleared by the FDA via the PMA pathway on July 18, 2013. It is manufactured by Boston Scientific and is classified as a Class 3 medical device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- The FDA record lists an additional vendor location to supply manufacturing aids and components used in the manufacturing process of the devices.
Clinical Applications
Reported off-label uses
- Treatment of symptomatic iliac or central venous obstruction after appropriate imaging and clinical evaluation.
- Treatment of chronic venous outflow obstruction associated with post-thrombotic changes.
- Venous stenting following endovascular treatment of selected venous occlusions or stenoses.
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.
Practical Considerations
- Select stent diameter and length according to the target vein, lesion dimensions, and the manufacturer's instructions for use.
- Placement requires fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance and controlled deployment through the Unistep Plus Delivery System.
- Review the current product labeling for delivery-system compatibility, access requirements, deployment technique, contraindications, and warnings.
- MRI conditions should be confirmed in the current device labeling before scanning; MRI safety may depend on the exact model, implant configuration, and scanner conditions.
- The supplied FDA indication does not establish a clinical indication for treating patients; clinical use must be verified against the current approved labeling and applicable regulatory documentation.
