GORE® VIABIL®
Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis
Demonstrated Low Migrations
With a 0.25% average reported migration rate, we’re so confident in these outcomes that we will replace it if a migration occurs.6,7
25X Reduction in Migration Rates
Fully covered anti-migration fins securely hold the device within the duct to minimize the risk of migration, with a reported 0.0–1.4% migration rate range. This outperforms BOSTON SCIENTIFIC WALLFLEX Biliary RX Fully Covered Stent migration rates, which ranged 0–13%. 1

Non-Foreshortening Design
The self-expanding GORE® VIABIL® Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis is a non-foreshortening fully covered metal stent that remains in the same location throughout deployment, eliminating the need to use a push-pull technique. Physicians can trust that the length and position of the stent will be the same pre-deployment and post-deployment. The combination of a non-foreshortening deployment and anti-migration technology is proven to minimize the risk of reintervention.1

Higher Primary Patency Rates Than Other Stents
Patency, or the ability for a stent to remain open and unoccluded, is a crucial characteristic of any Self-Expanding Metal Stent ( SEMS Self-Expanding Metal Stent ).
The GORE® VIABIL® Biliary Endoprosthesis maintains higher primary patency than the leading stent at 3, 6, and 12 months post-deployment2,3 due to its moderate radial force, low axial force, and durable, nonporous ePTFE/FEP liner. Improved long term patency can mean an improved quality of life for patients.
Viabil Chart
Optimal Conformance to Ductal Anatomy4-6
Gore® Viabil® has optimal balance of low Axial force (Af) and moderate Radial force (Rf), allowing natural conformance of the stent to the bile duct anatomy while maintaining industry-leading primary patency rates. Providing the right fit and flexibility can help prevent migration and sludge formation.4,5
High Axial Force
Optimal Balance of Force: The preferred combination of low Af and moderate Rf to minimize risk of migration, conforming naturally to the bile duct anatomy.4
Low Axial Force
Low Axial Force: Reduces migration, kinking, sludge formation, and cholangitis.5
“I trust in the GORE® VIABIL® Biliary Endoprosthesis. The features it possesses that are important to me include: the anti-migration properties, which are proven, the lack of foreshortening during and after deployment, the ability to precisely place because the stent is directly deployed from the catheter rather than being expelled out of a sheath, and it’s conformability to the biolung.”
