  5. Estimated life expectancy ≥1 year
  6. Subject is ambulatory (use of assistive walking device such as a cane or walker is acceptable)
  7. Body mass index (BMI) \<40
  8. Clinically significant symptomatic venous outflow obstruction in one iliofemoral venous segment (one limb) per subject, is indicated for venoplasty and stenting, and meets at least one of the following clinical indicators:

    2. Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) pain score ≥2
    3. Suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with symptoms occurring prior to receiving a DUO Stent
  9. Subject is willing and able to comply with PI recommendation for compression therapy, if required
  10. Presence of unilateral, non-malignant venous obstruction of the common femoral vein (CFV), external iliac vein (EIV), common iliac vein (CIV), or any combination thereof, defined as a ≥50% reduction in target vessel lumen diameter and confirmed by venographic or IVUS imaging. The cranial point of the obstruction may extend to the iliac vein confluence of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the caudal point may be 2mm above either the inflow of the deep femoral (or profunda) or the lesser trochanter, whichever is most cranial
  11. Obstructive lesion(s) able to be treated with continuous stent coverage
  12. Adequate inflow to the target lesion(s) involving at least a patent femoral or deep femoral vein and a landing zone in the CFV free from significant disease requiring treatment
  13. Reference vessel diameter is of adequate size to accommodate the appropriate size stent as measured by IVUS
  14. All vessels from insertion site through target vessel can accommodate a 9F or 10F sheath, depending on the stent size used
  15. Ability to cross interventional devices through target lesion(s)
  16. In DVT subjects, successful treatment of acute thrombus must have occurred prior to receiving any DUO Stents for an underlying obstructive lesion. Successful treatment of acute thrombus is defined as reestablishment of antegrade flow with ≤30% residual thrombus (confirmed by venogram or IVUS) and freedom from bleeding and symptomatic pulmonary embolism (confirmed by imaging). After successful treatment of thrombus is confirmed, eligible obstructive lesion(s) can be treated with a DUO Stent during the same procedure.
  17. All subjects must undergo a SARS-CoV-2 test and have a negative test result within 8 days of the index procedure. If a SARS-CoV-2 test is unavailable due to institution policy, a test shortage, or if there is a delay in test results, the subject must complete the COVID-19 questionnaire and must have answered NO to all questions to be eligible for enrollment. A SARS-CoV-2 test will not be required for enrollment if a subject has received a complete cycle of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine or has documented evidence of a positive COVID-19 antibody test and is asymptomatic and has no long-lasting effects (per PI discretion) from a prior COVID-19 infection.

  14. Contrast agent allergy that cannot be managed adequately with pre-medication
  15. Intended concurrent adjuvant procedure (except for venoplasty) such as creation of temporary arteriovenous fistula, femoral endovenectomy or saphenous vein ablation and/or saphenous vein stripping during the index procedure
  16. Subjects who have had any prior surgical or endovascular procedures to the target vessel. Note that subjects who have had successful catheter-directed or mechanical thrombolysis in the target vessel for DVT at least 90 days prior to the index procedure may be included
  17. Planned surgical or interventional procedures of the target limb (except thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy in preparation for the procedure or vena cava filter placement prior to stent implantation in subjects at high risk for pulmonary embolism) within 30 days prior to or 30 days after the index procedure
  18. Planned surgical or interventional procedures for other medical conditions (i.e., not associated with the target limb) 30 days prior to or 30 days after the index procedure
  19. Previous venous stenting of the target limb, the IVC, or contralateral limb if stents extend into the IVC
  20. Iliofemoral venous segment unsuitable for treatment with available sizes of DUO Stent implants
  21. Lesions with intended treatment lengths extending into the IVC
  22. No safe landing zone at or above the profunda femoral confluence
  23. Participating in another investigational study in which the subject has not completed the primary endpoint(s)
  24. Has other comorbidities that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude them from receiving this treatment and/or participating in study-required follow-up assessments
