Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥18 years; * Active arterial bleeding in the peripheral vasculature, documented on a suitable imaging study; * Subject or subject's legally authorized representative is able and authorized to provide written informed consent for the procedure and the study; * Subject is willing and able to comply with the specified follow-up evaluation schedule; * Life expectancy \>30 days; * No prior embolization in the target territory.

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnancy or breast feeding. A woman who, in the Investigator's opinion, is of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before the index procedure; * Coexisting signs of peritonitis or other active infection; * Participation in an investigational study of a new drug, biologic or device that has not reached its primary endpoint at the time of study screening; * Uncorrectable coagulopathies such as thrombocytopenia \<40,000/ μL, international normalization ratio (INR) \>2.0; * Contraindication to angiography or catheterization, including untreatable allergy to iodinated contrast media; * Anatomic arterial unsuitability such that, in the Investigator's opinion, the delivery catheter cannot gain access to the selected position for safe and intended embolization; * Known allergy or other contraindication to any components of Lava LES including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); * More than 4 Target Lesions will require embolization, in the Investigator's opinion after performance of diagnostic angiography or another suitable imaging study.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Composite of Freedom From Major Adverse Events (MAEs)30 DaysA composite of freedom from 30-day MAEs include ischemia or infarction of the target territory, non-target embolization, allergic reactions to Lava, catheter breakage, and catheter entrapment defined as the inability to withdraw a catheter from adherence to Lava.
Percentage of Lesions to Achieve Clinical Success30 daysDefined as absence of bleeding from the target lesion after embolization with the Lava LES, without the need for emergency surgery, re-embolization, or other target lesion reinterventions.

Recruitment details

Subject screening commenced on April 14, 2021 with the first subject enrolled on April 14, 2021. 160 subjects were screened at 20 investigational sites in the United States of America with no more than 25 subjects enrolled at any single site. 113 subjects were enrolled (successful arterial access established to the target lesion) at 19 sites in the Intent to treat (ITT) population.

Outcome results

Primary

Percentage of Lesions to Achieve Clinical Success

Defined as absence of bleeding from the target lesion after embolization with the Lava LES, without the need for emergency surgery, re-embolization, or other target lesion reinterventions.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: Analysis based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population with valid assessment.

Percentage of Participants With Composite of Freedom From Major Adverse Events (MAEs)

A composite of freedom from 30-day MAEs include ischemia or infarction of the target territory, non-target embolization, allergic reactions to Lava, catheter breakage, and catheter entrapment defined as the inability to withdraw a catheter from adherence to Lava.

Time frame: 30 Days

Population: Analysis based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population with valid assessment. The baseline number of subjects was 113 but only 101 subjects were administered the assigned intervention (Lava LES), thus 101 subjects were evaluable.
