Which artery plug works best? trial pits proglide against femoseal
NCT ID NCT03192033
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
People with peripheral arterial disease often need minimally invasive procedures that thread catheters through the femoral artery in the groin. Afterward, doctors use closure devices to stop bleeding at the puncture site. This trial randomly assigns participants to one of two devices, Proglide or Femoseal, and compares how well each seals the artery without major complications. Researchers also track walking recovery time and any artery-related problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Arterial closure devices: Proglide and Femoseal
- What this could lead to
- If one device seals the artery more reliably, doctors could choose it to help patients walk sooner and avoid complications after leg artery procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a comparison of two existing devices, not a new treatment. Both are already used, and any difference between them may be small or limited to certain patients.
