Safety and Performance Study of Large Hole Vascular Closure Device (FRONTIER-II)

Safety and Performance Study of Large Hole Vascular Closure Device - FRONTIER II Study

The purpose of this Clinical Investigation is to validate that the clinical use of the VIVASURE CLOSURE DEVICE™ is safe for the operator, patient and third parties, and to confirm its performance to percutaneously close femoral arterial puncture sites in the range of 18-24 F, post endovascular procedures.

This is a non-inferiority study based on safety. Safety will be assessed by incidence and severity of major complication rates directly related to the VIVASURE CLOSURE DEVICE™ up to 3 months from implantation is no worse than those associated with cut-down and sutured close.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Percutaneous Common Femoral Artery Arteriotomy Closure
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: VIVASURE CLOSURE DEVICE™

Detailed Description

This study will be a prospective, multi-centred, non-randomized study to investigate the safety and performance of the VIVASURE CLOSURE DEVICE™. The study shall not be blinded prior to, during or post the procedure. All patients undergoing a procedure requiring an arteriotomy in the range of 18 to 24 F, via the common femoral artery will be screened against the inclusion/exclusion criteria. If the patient meets the requirements of the clinical investigation, they shall be invited to participate, provide informed consent and shall subsequently be assigned a subject number.

All subjects shall have an immediately post procedure, 24 hour, 1, 3 and 12 month follow-up assessment. Safety data from the follow-ups will be assessed by the Data Safety Monitoring Committee.
