NCT ID NCT06851481

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new device called the Ladera LBC System that uses stitches to close the hole in the femoral artery after catheter-based heart or blood vessel procedures. The study will enroll 55 adults who are scheduled for elective procedures using large sheaths (10 to 24 French). The main goals are to see if the device stops bleeding quickly and safely, with no major complications within 30 days.

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 suture-based device to close the artery)

What this could lead to

If it works, this device could offer a faster, safer way to close the femoral artery after heart or blood vessel procedures, reducing complications.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early study with only 55 people and no comparison group. The device may not work as well as existing methods, and there is a risk of bleeding or other access-site problems.
