We present our first results from a high-contrast imaging search forplanetary mass companions around stars with gapped debris disks, as inferredfrom the stars' bright infrared excesses. For the six considered stars, wemodel the disks' unresolved infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) inorder to derive the temperature and location of the disk components. WithVLT/NaCo Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraphic L'-band imaging, we search forplanetary mass companions that may be sculpting the disks. We detect neitherdisks nor companions in this sample, confirmed by comparing plausible pointsources with archival data. In order to calculate our mass sensitivity limit,we revisit the stellar age estimates. One target, HD 17848, at 540$\pm$100 Myrold is significantly older than previously estimated. We then discuss ourhigh-contrast imaging results with respect to the disk properties.
