Closure device for large hole in the groin after heart procedures
This study tests a new device that closes the large hole in the groin after certain heart or blood vessel procedures. It may help people who need a large tube (catheter) in their leg during these procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure through the main artery in your groin (femoral artery) using a 10 to 24 French sheath (about the size of a thick straw or larger)
- You are willing and able to come back for follow-up visits and can give your own informed consent
- You do not have severe narrowing or blockages in the arteries of your legs or pelvis, and your groin artery is wide enough (at least 6 mm)
- You do not have significant bleeding problems, low blood counts, kidney failure, or severe obesity/underweight
- You have not had recent major heart events, strokes, or surgeries that would increase risk
