Key result
Novel SailValve yields 100% immediate patency and sustained midterm function in a porcine model.
Why the study?
The potential of a new self-expanding deep venous valve concept to reduce thrombogenicity and improve valve function needed evaluation in a preclinical model.
Does the SailValve self-expanding deep venous valve system maintain patency and function in a porcine model?
Does the SailValve self-expanding deep venous valve system maintain patency and function in a porcine model?
The SailValve self-expanding deep venous valve system demonstrated technical feasibility, short-term patency, and partial functional success in a porcine model.

Supports feasibility in porcine model; hypothesis-generating and should not inform clinical practice.
Boersma et al. (2017) studied Deep venous valve evaluation (n=5). SailValve Self-Expanding Deep Venous Valve System was evaluated on Patency and valve function. Implantation of the SailValve in a porcine model achieved 100% patency directly after placement and full function in 5 of 8 valves at 2 to 4 weeks follow-up.
