Safety and Performance Study for Arterial Large Hole Vascular Closure Device

NCT ID: NCT05951634

Last Updated: 2023-07-19

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 120 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2023-08-31
• Study Completion Date: 2025-09-30

Brief Summary

To study will assess safety and performance of the PerQseal Elite Closure Device when used with the 18F PerQseal Elite Introducer to percutaneously close femoral artery punctures and to induce arterial haemostasis in patients undergoing endovascular procedures requiring an arteriotomy created by 14 to 22 F sheaths.

Note, for reference purposes, it is expected arteriotomies created with 14 to 22 F sheaths will create an arteriotomy in the range of 16 - 26 F (being the outer diameter of these sheaths).

Detailed Description

This study will be a prospective, multi-centred, non-randomized study to investigate the safety and performance of the PerQseal Elite. The study shall not be blinded prior to, during or post the procedure. All patients undergoing an endovascular procedure requiring an arteriotomy created by 14 to 22 F sheaths, via the common femoral artery will be screened against the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

All subjects shall have a pre-discharge, 30-Days ± 7-Days and 180-Days ± 30-Days follow-up assessment. All safety data from the study will be assessed by the Data Safety Monitoring Committee on a continuous basis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age ≥ 19 years.

Clinically indicated for a percutaneous arterial interventional catheter-based procedure, e.g., transcatheter aortic valve replacement/implantation (TAVR/TAVI) or endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), or thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR), or use of a circulatory assist device or extracorporeal oxygenation using a common femoral arteriotomy created by a 14 to 22F sheath (arteriotomy up to 26F).

3. Subject is willing and able to provide appropriate study-specific informed consent, follow protocol procedures, and comply with follow-up visit requirements.

4. Females who are not pregnant or lactating and not planning to become pregnant for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Evidence of current systemic bacterial or cutaneous infection, including groin infection,

2. Known bleeding diathesis, definite or potential coagulopathy, platelet count < 100,000/µl or subjects on long term anticoagulants with an INR > 2 within 12 hours prior to index procedure,

3. Significant anaemia (example: haemoglobin < 9 g/dL or haematocrit < 27%), within 24 hours prior to index procedure,

4. Known type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia,

5. Documented left ventricular ejection fraction < 20%,

6. Ipsilateral or contralateral lower extremity amputation,

7. Previous groin surgery within the region of the ipsilateral access,

8. Claudication (Rutherford category 3 or greater), documented untreated iliac or common femoral artery diameter stenosis > 50% or previous bypass surgery/stent placement in the common femoral artery of target leg,

9. Known existing nerve damage in the target leg,

10. Renal insufficiency (Glomerular Filtration Rate ≤ 30 ml/min or baseline serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dl) or on renal replacement therapy,

11. Known allergy to any of the materials used in the PerQseal Elite device (refer to Investigator's Brochure),

12. Subject is unsuitable for surgical repair of the target leg access site,

13. Subject has undergone a percutaneous procedure greater than 8F sheath in the target leg, within the 90-days prior to index procedure,

14. Subject has undergone a percutaneous procedure of 8F sheath or less using an absorbable intravascular closure device for haemostasis, in the target leg, within the 90-days prior to index procedure,

15. Subject has undergone a percutaneous procedure of 8F sheath or less using a suture mediated closure device or manual/mechanical pressure for haemostasis in the target leg, within the 30-days prior to index procedure,

16. Evidence of marked tortuosity of the femoral or external iliac arteries in the target leg, based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,

17. Evidence of arterial diameter stenosis > 20% within 15 mm proximal or distal to arteriotomy site based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,

18. Evidence of anterior wall calcification of the target common femoral artery (other than small, diffuse deposits which in the opinion of the investigator will not impede the vascular closure procedure) within 15 mm proximal or distal to arteriotomy site based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,

19. Target femoral artery diameter is less than 7 mm, based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,

20. Further planned endovascular/catheter-based procedure in the target leg in the 30-days following the index procedure,

21. Subject is enrolled in another investigational medical device or drug study,

22. Subject has been previously enrolled in this clinical study,

23. Current COVID-19 infection (with or without symptoms), recent positive test for COVID-19 within two weeks, or recent exposure to a person with COVID-19 infection within two weeks.

24. Initial common femoral arterial access achieved with manual palpation or blind arterial stick access, without use of an image guided approach (ultrasound or angiography),

25. Difficult dilation during initial target femoral artery access (e.g., that damages or kinks dilators) while step-dilating up to the large-bore device,

26. During arterial puncture, the target femoral artery suspected to have experienced a posterior arterial wall needle puncture or underwent > one needle puncture during the primary procedure, with a needle larger than a micropuncture needle (> 21 gauge or > 0.819 mm diameter). (Note: not an exclusion if micropuncture technique under ultrasound guidance used for femoral artery access [Ref. 19, 20]),

27. Subject has a tissue tract (i.e., estimated distance from skin entry point to arterial anterior surface at arteriotomy) expected to be greater than 8 cm,

31. Target arteriotomy greater than 26F,

32. Target arteriotomy in the profunda femoris or superficial femoral artery or is in common femoral artery, but within 15 mm proximal of the bifurcation of the superficial femoral/ profunda femoris artery, (apex of bifurcation overlying the femoral head),

34. Subjects with an acute haematoma > 4 cm diameter, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm or intraluminal thrombosis at the target access site identified intra-procedurally,

35. Evidence of bleeding around the primary procedure sheath (VARC type 1/BARC type 2 or higher),

36. Intra-procedural angiographic evidence of arterial laceration, dissection or stenosis within the femoral artery that would preclude use of the PerQseal Elite device,

38. Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg at the time of planned vascular closure. *May not be known until after the patient has given informed consent and the procedure has started. In this event, the PerQseal Elite should not be used and the patient should be considered excluded from the study and intention to treat analysis.

Note: The use of a secondary closure device in the same leg is prohibited during this study. A note to this effect should be entered into the patient's medical records.
