New device aims to quickly seal large holes in leg arteries and veins
NCT ID NCT07464353
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early study tests a device called xDot Access Management System to safely close large puncture sites in the femoral artery and vein (in the upper leg) after medical procedures. About 30 people aged 18 to 80 will be enrolled. The main goals are to check for major complications and measure how quickly bleeding stops after the device is used.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years 2. Willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to initiation of study procedures 3. Willing and able to comply with the protocol-specified procedures and assessments 4. Investigator opinion suitable for xDot AMS for femoral closure (arterial or venous, as applicable) 5. Minimum vessel diameter of 5.5 mm and vessel depth ≥1.5 cm and ≤5.0 cm, \<50% stenosis for the: 1. femoral artery, as determined by computed tomography angiography (CTA) 2. femoral vein, as determined by ultrasound or angiogram. 6. Candidate for elective or planned (i.e., not emergent or urgent) percutaneous transcatheter interventional procedure through: 1. The common femoral artery using 8F to 22F devices or sheaths (max 26F OD; e.g., TAVR, EVAR) 2. The common femoral vein using 8F to 26F devices or sheaths (max 30F OD; e.g., transcatheter mitral/tricuspid valve repair/replacement and LAA occlusion) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or lactating 2. Immunocompromised or with pre-existing autoimmune disease 3. Active systemic infection or a local infection at or near the access site 4. Known or suspected COVID-19 infection 5. Significant anemia (hemoglobin \<10 g/dL, hematocrit \<30%) 6. Morbidly obese or cachectic (Body mass index \[BMI\] \>40 kg/m2 or \<20 kg/m2) 7. Severe co-existing co-morbidities which, in the opinion of the investigator, would clinically confound the study primary endpoints 8. Known bleeding disorder including thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<100,000 cells/UL), thrombasthenia, hemophilia, or von Willebrand disease 9. Allergy to any device material, including polypropylene, NiTinol, or Titanium 10. Common femoral artery or vein with calcium, as determined by baseline CTA or angiogram, which, in the clinical judgment of the investigator, precludes safe access, or severe peripheral vascular disease as evidenced by severe claudication when ambulating \<100 feet, weak or absent pulses in the affected limb, or ankle-brachial index (ABI) \<0.5 at rest 11. Previous iliofemoral intervention in the region of the access site, including prior atherectomy, stenting, or surgical or grafting procedures 12. Use of an intra-aortic balloon pump through the access site within 30 days prior to the baseline evaluation 13. Continuous oral anticoagulation therapy that cannot be stopped for the peri-procedural period or international normalized ratio (INR) \>1.8 at the time of the procedure 14. Unable to be adequately anti-coagulated for the procedure 15. Unable to ambulate at baseline (e.g., wheelchair user or confined to bed) 16. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) within 30 days prior to procedure or acute coronary syndrome (i.e., unstable angina or MI) ≤30 days before the catheterization procedure 17. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV heart failure 18. Left ventricular ejection fraction \<20% 19. Unilateral or bilateral lower extremity amputation 20. Renal insufficiency (serum creatinine \>2.5 mg/dl) or on dialysis therapy 21. Existing nerve damage in the ipsilateral leg 22. Additional planned endovascular procedure within the next 30 days 23. Currently participating in another clinical trial of an unapproved investigational device or drug that has not concluded the follow-up period 24. Vulnerable subject populations (e.g., incarcerated or cognitively challenged adults) Intraprocedural Exclusion Criteria Patients will be excluded from participating in this trial if any of the following exclusion criteria occur at the time of the procedure, prior to introduction of the xDot AMS into the patient: 1. Hypertension with blood pressure (BP) ≥180/110 mm Hg at the initial time of the procedure that cannot adequately be controlled. 2. Presence of the following at the target access site (arterial or venous): i) hematoma, ii) AV fistula, iii) pseudoaneurysm, or iv) thrombus 3. Puncture site scenarios for the femoral artery or vein: 1. Sites in target groin within the prior 14 days 2. Sites in the target that have not healed 3. Puncture is through the posterior wall or if there are multiple punctures in the same access site 4. Access site above the most inferior border of the inferior epigastric artery/vein and/or above the inguinal ligament based upon bony landmarks 5. Access site is below the femoral artery/vein bifurcation
