Official title
Cera™ Vascular Plug System Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up: A Multi-center, Prospective, Observational, Single-arm, Open-label, Post-market Study
Overview
The objective of the study is to collect and evaluate clinical data on patients of the Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System to: * confirm the performance * confirm the safety * identify previously unknown side-effects * monitor the identified side-effects (related to the procedures or to the medical devices) * identify and analyse emergent risks
Detailed description
Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System is indicated for arterial and venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature. This study, planned under the MDR requirements, aims to confirm the safety and performance of the Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System, identify previously unknown side-effects, monitor the identified side-effects (related to the procedures or to the medical devices), identify and analyse emergent risks. The Study intends to enroll 132 subjects. The estimated enrollment period is 1 year, and the expected duration of each subject's participation is 1 year (i.e., the follow-up period). Final report shall be completed in 2026.
Interventions
- Device Cera™ Vascular Plug System
The Cera™ Vascular Plug System is composed of Cera™ Vascular Plug and its accessory Introducer Kit. The Cera™ Vascular Plug is a self-expandable, cylindrical Ni-Ti wire mesh device.
Primary outcome measures
- Technical success [Time frame: at procedure]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Incidence of clinically relevant recanalization [Time frame: at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-procedure]
- Incidence of clinically relevant migration [Time frame: at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-procedure]
- Incidence of device and/or procedure-related Adverse Events (AEs) [Time frame: from attempted procedure to 12 months post-procedure]
- Incidence of device and/or procedure-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Time frame: from attempted procedure to 12 months post-procedure]
- Incidence of device deficiencies [Time frame: from attempted procedure to 12 months post-procedure]
- Time to occlusion [Time frame: at procedure]
