The Wrapsody™ cell-impermeable endoprosthesis is primarily indicated for central vein stenosis and dialysis access dysfunction. This case series describes its off-label use in three challenging scenarios involving arterial and venous interventions: 1) a femoropopliteal aneurysm, 2) stenosis of the right common iliac artery, and 3) venous outflow reconstruction in a patient with central venous occlusion. Post-procedural imaging confirmed adequate stent deployment and sustained flow in all treated segments. The 7-month, 5-month, and 26-month follow-ups for cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively, showed no need for additional interventions. This case series highlights the versatility of Wrapsody™ beyond its conventional use. Long-term comparative studies are needed to further evaluate Wrapsody™'s role in vascular reconstructions, but these findings suggest it may be a valuable alternative for select high-risk cases.
