The XPAD bypass conduit is a sterile, restorative biodegradable polymer-based vascular graft, consisting of a tubular structure with a 33cm length and 6mm inner diameter. It is comprised of a highly porous polymer matrix and an embedded electropolished nitinol reinforcement layer (Strain Relief System). The XPAD conduit is in a straight configuration and may be implanted above the knee for elective femoral popliteal bypass surgery.

RECRUITINGPrimary patency rate
Primary patency: Defined as the interval between graft implantation and the first intervention to maintain or restore patency
Time frame: 12 months
Freedom from device-related SAE
Time frame: Day 1, 1, 6 and 12 months
Implantation success rate
Implantation success: Defined as a technically successful XPAD conduit implantation in the planned configuration, free from kinking and tension in the anastomoses, and a patent XPAD conduit at the moment of discharge
Time frame: Day 1
Freedom from Major Bleeding events
Major Bleeding: Defined as type 3, 4 or 5 bleeding according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) classifications
Time frame: Day 1, 1 and 6 months
Patency (primary, primary assisted, and secondary) rates
Primary patency: Defined as the interval between graft implantation and the first intervention to maintain or restore patency. Assisted primary patency: Defined as the interval between graft implantation and the first occlusion (thrombosis), including interventions (operative or endovascular) aimed to maintain the functionality the graft. Secondary patency: Defined as the interval between graft implantation and abandonment with or without interventions (operative or endovascular) aimed to maintain the functionality the graft, including occurrence of a censored event (death, change of modality, loss of follow-up)
