Severe peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is caused by the formation of blockages in arteries, which reduces blood supply to the brain, heart, kidneys and limbs causing strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure and limb amputations. ...
Nationally there is a trend moving towards radial artery access versus femoral artery access for endovascular procedures and Q’Apel Medical is leading the way. ...
The catheter-based device is delivered via the femoral artery, temporarily inflating a soft balloon in the aorta to redirect blood flow towards the upper body. ...
A catheter-based device is inserted via the femoral artery, blocking blood flow to the lower extremities within a minute and rerouting it to vital organs. ...
Both devices are placed via 14FR percutaneous delivery by a catheter inserted through the femoral artery. Multiple pre-clinical studies and a clinical pilot study confirmed under 5 minutes time to place the device in its intended position just above the renal arteries in the aorta. ? ...
The trial evaluated 23 patients at a single site and assessed the safety and effectiveness of the Large Bore Closer device in sealing femoral arterial access sites at the completion of percutaneous endovascular procedures performed through 10- to 16-F introducer sheaths. ...
This condition can have many underlying causes, such as coronary atherosclerosis, which occurs with tissue plaque builds up and clogs the arteries that feed into the heart. “There are a great number of underlying mechanisms that can trigger a cardiac arrest, such as an airway obstruction, a metabolic imbalance, a drug overdose, a critical bleeding, a collapsed lung,” ...
Methods: Patients with a baseline common femoral artery (CFA) diameter of ≥ 6.0 mm were anti-coagulated with IV heparin and treated with ≥14 FR arterial sheaths. ...
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted market clearance to Rex Medical’s bioresorbable Closer Vascular Sealing System (VSS) to achieve rapid hemostasis of femoral artery catheterizations. The vascular closure device consists of an insertion sheath, dilator and an implant contained in a delivery system. ...
Transluminal Technologies LLC. out of Syracuse, New York won the CE Mark for its velox CD Vascular Closure Device used to close arteriotomies following percutaneous femoral procedures. Closing arteries can be a challenge, eating up surgeons’ time just when it’s optimal to move the patient out of the OR. ...
The helical curvature also helps the stented vessel mimic the natural biomechanical performance of the femoropopliteal artery during knee flexion, thereby reducing the risk of stent fracture and vessel kinking, which are common problems with traditional straight stents. ...
