NCT ID NCT07541235
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new medical device that stitches closed the large hole in the leg artery after heart procedures like valve replacement or aneurysm repair. About 214 adults will receive the device, and researchers will check how quickly bleeding stops and if any major complications occur within 30 days. The goal is to see if this device is a safe and effective alternative to current closure methods.

- Active substance
- Ladera LBC System (a medical device that stitches closed the large hole in the leg artery after a heart procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this device could replace manual pressure or other closure methods, making recovery faster and reducing complications after large-bore heart procedures.
