About

This is a prospective, multi-center, investigational study to evaluate safety and performance of the BeGraft Aortic balloon expandable covered Stent Graft System and the BeGraft Peripheral balloon expandable covered stent Graft System (Bentley InnoMed GmbH, Hechingen, Germany) implanted as covered stents in CERAB procedures (Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation) for extensive aorto-iliac occlusive disease.

The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and performance of the BeGraft Aortic covered stent Graft System & the BeGraft Peripheral covered stent Graft System (Bentley Innomed, Hechingen, Germany) in CERAB configuration (Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation) for Aorto-iliac Occlusive Disease.

Enrollment: 117 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 99 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Patient has been identified with an aorto-iliac occlusive lesion, with clinical necessity for treatment.
2. The patient has been diagnosed with symptomatic peripheral artery disease, defined by Rutherford Becker Classification score 2 to 5.
3. Patient has a projected life-expectancy of at least 24 months.
4. Patient is ≥18 years old.
5. Patient is willing and capable to provide written consent to participate to the trial and confirmed to attend the expected follow-up visits.
6. Patient's anatomy is eligible for CERAB treatment, without the need for chimneys and can be treated with a Ø 12 mm BGA.
7. The aorto-iliac lesion begins at least 1 cm below the patent renal arteries without a need for treatment.
8. A maximum of 3 BeGraft Peripheral (Ø 7 or 8 mm) per limb in the external iliac artery can be used. In case a Ø 7 mm is used to extent, the distal ends must be flared to Ø 8 mm to ensure proper flow.
9. The target lesion has angiographic evidence of stenosis >50% or occlusion of the limb.
10. Patient's common femoral artery and deep femoral artery are patent.

Exclusion criteria

1. Patient is currently participating in another investigational drug or device trial that has not completed the entire follow up period.
2. Patient has planned any surgical intervention/procedure within 30 days after the study procedure.
3. Patient had a Myocardial infarction or stroke within a period of 3 months prior to the study procedure.
4. Patient had surgery (e.g. bypass surgery or stenting) in target vessels previously.
5. Patient with acute aortic or iliac occlusive disease.
6. Patient has an acute systemic infection at time of screening or in period of 30 days prior to screening.
7. Patient has fresh thrombus at time of screening or in period of 14 days prior to screening.
8. Patient has a CERAB procedure that is staged.
9. Female patient with childbearing potential not taking adequate contraceptives or currently breastfeeding.
10. Patients for whom antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulants or thrombolytic drugs are contraindicated.
11. Patients with known hypersensitivity to the stent material (L605) and/or PTFE.
12. An aneurysm in the abdominal aortic and iliac segments where CERAB will be placed is present.
13. Patient has access vessel that is too tortuous, narrow or any other reason that would lead to failure of introducing and advancing an introducer sheath.
14. Patient has or had aortic coarctation.
15. Patient had aortic injury/trauma related interventions previously.
16. Patient had suprarenal/visceral segment reconstructions previously.
17. A relevant accessory renal artery (>3 mm) in the infrarenal aorta is present, that might be occluded during the procedure.
