Device typePolymer-coated central/peripheral venous stent: A tubular, mesh structure, consisting of a metal frame coated with a non-bioabsorbable synthetic polymer, designed to be implanted in a central and/or peripheral vein (e.g., inferior vena cava, iliofemoral vein) to improve blood flow in patients with symptomatic venous outflow obstruction; it is not intended for coronary or intracranial venous stenting. It is intended to provide biocompatibility while leaving pores (holes) to allow cross-luminal (lateral) blood flow (i.e., not a stent-graft). It is typically expanded in situ; disposable devices associated with implantation may be included with the stent.
