Summary

The ORION study is being conducted to determine whether the Epic™ Nitinol Stent for primary stenting of iliac atherosclerotic lesions shows acceptable performance at 9 months.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Documented chronic, symptomatic iliac artery atherosclerotic disease (Rutherford/Becker category 1, 2, 3 or 4)
  • Lifestyle-limiting claudication or rest pain
  • De novo or restenotic lesions in the common and/or external iliac artery
  • Subjects with bilateral disease may have only one target lesion treated per side
  • Two target lesions may be treated with a maximum of two stents (if two target lesions are treated, each lesion must be covered with a maximum of one stent)
  • Length of diseased segment(s) = 50% (operator visual assessment)
  • Reference vessel diameter >= 5 mm and 600,000 mm3
  • Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL
  • Dialysis-dependent end stage renal disease
  • Pregnancy
  • Current participation in another drug or device trial that has not completed the primary endpoint or that may potentially confound the results of this trial
  • Known allergy to Nitinol
  • Presence of arterial lesions (with the exception of renal, carotid or short, focal SFA lesions) requiring intervention within 30 days of the index procedure - Superficial femoral artery occlusion in the limb supplied by target vessel
  • Heavily calcified and/or excessively tortuous lesions in the target vessel as determined by angiography
  • Target lesion is within or near an aneurysm
  • Persistent, intraluminal thrombus of the proposed target lesion post-thrombolytic therapy
  • Perforated vessel as evidenced by extravasation of contrast media
  • Vascular graft, aneurysm or postsurgical stenosis of the target vessel
  • Multiple lesions in the same target vessel unable to be treated with a maximum of two stents
