Brief summary

The primary objective of the SONOMA Registry is to confirm the safety of the NexStent® Carotid Stent System and FilterWire EZ™ Embolic Protection System in routine clinical practice and to identify rare or unanticipated device-related events that might occur.

Detailed description

The SONOMA Registry will enroll approximately 300 subjects at a maximum at 78 study centers.

Interventions

DEVICENexStent Carotid Stent System (Monorail Delivery System)

Self-expanding carotid stent for treating patients at high risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy who require carotid revascularization.

DEVICEFilterWire EZ™ Embolic Protection System

Used as a guide wire and embolic protection system to contain and remove embolic material (thrombus/debris) while performing angioplasty and stenting procedures in coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts and carotid arteries.

Recruitment details

Enrollment began on May 23, 2007. Enrollment was suspended on June 6, 2008, due to a voluntary recall of the NexStent Carotid Stent System. On June 17, 2008, enrollment was terminated and the NexStent Carotid Stent System was withdrawn from the market.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
NexStent Carotid Stent System
Subjects in this arm had carotid artery disease treated with the NexStent Carotid Stent System used in conjunction with the FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System. The NexStent Carotid Stent is a rolled metal mesh sheet constrained in a sheath. The stent is inserted through the groin and is opened in the blocked carotid artery. The FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System is a temporary filtration system used to contain and remove embolic material that may be released during the stenting procedure.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants Who Experienced a 12-Month Major Adverse Event (MAE)

12-month major adverse events (MAEs) are defined as all deaths, strokes, and myocardial infarctions (MIs) that occur within 0-30 days post-procedure (see 30-Day MAE above), and ipsilateral stroke events that occur within 31-365 days post-procedure.

Time frame: 12 Months

Population: ITT Analysis: All enrolled subjects who experienced a 12-mo MAE and/or completed a follow-up evaluation \>=335 days post-procedure were evaluable. Subjects who experienced more than one MAE within 12 months were counted in the number of subjects with each applicable event, but were only counted once in the number of subjects with overall 12-mo MAE.
