Brief summary

The objective of the trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Cardiva Mid-Bore Venous Vascular Closure System (VVCS) in sealing femoral venous access sites and providing reduced times to ambulation (TTA) compared with manual compression at the completion of catheter-based procedures performed through 6 - 12 Fr introducer sheaths.

Detailed description

A prospective, randomized, controlled multi-center clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the study device in sealing multiple femoral venous access sites and providing reduced times to ambulation compared with manual compression at the completion of catheter-based procedures performed through 6 - 12 Fr introducer sheaths. Only patients with multiple access sites will be enrolled in order to support the desired indication. Randomization will be stratified to account for patients with varying numbers of access sites in a 1:1 treatment device to control arm ratio to ensure treatment and control arms have the same proportion of access sites/patient, i.e. 3 access sites/patient vs. 4 access sites/patient.

Interventions

DEVICECardiva Mid-Bore VVCS

The device will be used to close all femoral venous access sites at the end of the case, which range from 3 - 4 access sites per patient.

Manual compression will be used to achieve hemostasis in all femoral venous access sites when the sheaths are pulled, which range from 3-4 access sites per patient.
