Korean Multicenter Registry of EPIC Stent for Iliac Artery Disease: (K-EPIC Registry)

• Prospective, single-arm, multi-center registry study
• A total of 150 subjects with iliac artery disease who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included.
• Patients will be followed clinically for 12 months after the procedure.
• Duplex ultrasound, CT or catheter-based angiography follow-up according to participating hospital's protocol will be performed at 12 months.
• Presence of stent fracture will be evaluated by plain radiography or fluoroscopy at 12 months.
• Quality of life by standardized questionnaires (at baseline & at 1 & 12 months)
