Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lava LES for the embolic treatment of arterial hemorrhage in the peripheral vasculature.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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.

  • 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.
