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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

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.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not prove superiority over existing methods. Device failure or complications like bleeding or infection are possible.
