PerQseal®+ Early Feasibility Study

Early Feasibility Study of the Vivasure PerQseal®+ (PerQseal® Plus) Vascular Closure Device When Used to Achieve Hemostasis of Common Femoral Arteriotomies Created by 14 to 22 F Sheaths in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Transcatheter Procedures

The objective of this Early Feasibility Study (EFS) is to evaluate the initial safety and preliminary effectiveness of the PerQseal®+ VCD in a small number of subjects when used to achieve hemostasis of common femoral arteriotomies created by 14 to 22 F sheaths (arteriotomy up to 26 F) in subjects undergoing Percutaneous Transcatheter procedures.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Percutaneous Large Hole Vascular Closure
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: PerQseal Plus Device

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, multi-center, single arm EFS. Patients undergoing a percutaneous trancatheter procedure, requiring an arteriotomy created by 14 - 22 F sheaths (arteriotomies up to approx. 26 F), via the common femoral artery will be screened against the study inclusion/exclusion criteria. If the patient meets study eligibility requirements, they shall be invited to participate, provide informed consent, and shall subsequently be assigned a study ID number. Enrollment will occur at the point where the PerQseal®+ VCD study device first enters the patient's body.

The planned enrollment is 15 treated patients at a maximum of 5 study sites (minimum of 3) located in the United States.
