Cook Medical Launches Zilver Vena Venous Self-Expanding Stent in the United States
November 20, 2020—Cook Medical announced that the Zilver Vena venous self-expanding stent is commercially available to physicians in the United States for the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction. Cook will soon begin launching physician training and other programs to support the Zilver Vena stent.
According to the company, the stent was designed to balance flexibility and strength so that it can conform to a patient’s anatomy while it provides sufficient lumen expansion to restore venous flow.
On October 15, the company announced FDA approval of the device.
On November 6, results from the VIVO clinical study supporting the safety and effectiveness of the Zilver Vena venous stent for the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction were presented by Anthony Comerota, MD, in a late-breaking clinical trials session at VIVA 2020, the Vascular InterVentional Advances annual meeting held virtually from November 6-8, 2020.
