Treatment of focal distal abdominal aortic stenosis with the GORE VIABAHN VBX balloon expandable covered stent.

The incidence of focal infrarenal stenosis of the aorta is rare. Endovascular therapy has evolved as a first-line treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease and has been shown to substantially improve health-related quality of life. The 8 French sheath compatible, GORE VIABAHN VBX (GORE Flagstaff, AZ) balloon expandable covered stent offers the traditional benefits of a balloon expandable covered stent with a design that improves on flexibility. We report three cases with the use of this system for treatment of infrarenal stenosis of the aorta.
