Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Primary Safety Endpoint: Major Arterial Access Site Closure-related Complications
Freedom from Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudicated major complications of the target limb access site within 30 days post-procedure
30 days post-procedure
Primary Performance Endpoint: Time to Hemostasis
The mean Time to Hemostasis (TTH) in the Common Femoral Artery (CFA) of the target limb access site with use of the investigational device.
Post-procedure, usually within 3 hours
Study Arms (1)
The Ladera LBC System will be used in all participants enrolled in the study
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Use of the Ladera LBC System to close the femoral arteriotomy
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient is ≥ 18 years old
- Patient is scheduled for elective or planned (i.e., not emergent or urgent) percutaneous interventional catheterization procedures involving access through the common femoral artery using 10 to 24 Fr introducer sheaths (i.e., BAV, TAVR/TAVI, PEVAR, TEVAR)
- Patient is able to undergo emergent vascular surgery if a complication related to the vascular closure necessitates such surgery
- Patient is willing and able to complete follow-up requirements
- Patient has the mental capacity to consent for themselves (i.e., does not require the use of a Legally Authorized Representative), and signs a written Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior participating in the study
You may not qualify if:
- Patients must be EXCLUDED from participation in this study if ANY of the following criteria are met:
- Screening / Baseline
- Prior intra-aortic balloon pump at access site within 30 days of baseline evaluation
- Patients with severe inflow disease (iliac artery diameter stenosis \> 50%) and/or severe peripheral arterial disease (Rutherford Classification 5 or 6), as confirmed with prior standard of care Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging
- Common femoral artery and iliac lumen diameter is \< 6 mm as confirmed with prior standard of care CT Imaging
- Common femoral artery calcium at the arteriotomy site (i.e., target access site), which is visible with prior CT Imaging
- Marked tortuosity (at the investigator's discretion) of the femoral or external iliac artery in the target leg based on prior CT Imaging
- In opinion of the investigator, significant scarring of the target access site which would preclude use of the device in accordance with the IFU
- Prior target artery closure with any closure device \< 90 days, or closure with manual compression ≤ 30 days prior to index procedure
- Prior atherectomy, vascular surgery, vascular graft, or stent in region of access site
- Patients receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors within 24 hours prior to, during, or within 48 hours after the catheterization procedure
- Patients with significant anemia (Hgb \< 9 g/dL, Hct \< 30%)
- Patient with known bleeding disorder including thrombocytopenia (platelet count \< 100,000), thrombasthenia, hemophilia or Von Willebrand's disease or known Type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
- Patient with renal insufficiency (serum creatinine level \> 221 μmol/L or 2.5 mg/dL), on dialysis therapy, or with renal transplant
- Known severe allergy to contrast reagent that cannot be managed with premedication
- +32 more criteria
