Clinical Evidence
The studies shown below are examples of the safety and benefits that Perclose ProStyle™ Suture-Mediated Closure and Repair (SMCR) System may provide patients who have undergone cardiac arrhythmia treatments with multiple common femoral venous access sites.
Patient Satisfaction and Same Day Discharge
Early leg mobilization is feasible and safe with Perclose™ Device.
Objective
The objective of this US study was to compare a strategy of immediate leg mobilization using suture‐mediated closure devices against traditional vascular recovery consisting of figure-of-eight suture and 4 hour bed rest after catheter ablation of AF using large vascular access sheaths for cryoballoon ablation and pulsed field ablation.

Key Clinical Outcomes
- No major vascular complications
- High levels of satisfaction for total duration of supine position as assessed in Post Ablation Procedure Patient Survey
- 7.8/10 satisfaction about total duration of lying position after PVI vs. 4.7/10 if patient was to hypothetically lay supine for 2-3 hours longer
- Similar results for discomfort and access-related pain during post-operative supine position
- 7.8/10 satisfaction about total duration of lying position after PVI vs. 4.7/10 if patient was to hypothetically lay supine for 2-3 hours longer
- 96% patients discharged same day (48 out of 50)
- Staff and procedural efficiencies offset the cost of Perclose™ Devices resulting in neutral impact for hospital for a single patient

Perclose Multi-Access Duplex Ultrasound (DUS) IDE Trial
Background
This trial was a prospective, single arm, multi-center, descriptive study of 36 patients enrolled from September, 2021 to May 2022. Femoral duplex ultrasound is not routinely utilized during ablation procedures and is often only used when access-site related complications are visible and/or symptomatic. To evaluate the safety of multiple access site closure in a single vein with PercloseTM, patients underwent duplex ultrasound to assess the presence of asymptomatic or non-visible complications.
Methods
All subjects underwent routine cardiac ablations as standard of care. A total of 36 patients were enrolled with an average of 3.5 access sites ranging in size from 8-15F. 14 patients underwent cryoablation only, 21 patients underwent radiofrequency ablation only, and 1 patient underwent both types of ablation procedures. Patients received a femoral vein duplex ultrasound of their access sites at discharge and, for those with asymptomatic or non-visible complications, a second duplex ultrasound at 30 day follow up.
Endpoints
Major or minor vascular complications detected by scheduled duplex ultrasound at discharge and at 30 days in subjects with asymptomatic/non-visible complications.
Key Clinical Outcomes
Vascular Closure for Cardiac Ablation Registry (VACCAR)
Background
Retrospective, chart review, subject-level study of 434 atrial fibrillation patients from October 2017 to November 2020 to evaluate differences in rates of vascular and bleeding complications when comparing Perclose™ devices, manual compression, and Fo8, to achieve hemostasis post ablation procedure.
Methods
Charts of 434 atrial fibrillation patients were reviewed (64% cryoablation, 36% radiofrequency). Perclose™ was utilized with 75 of the patients while a 156 were treated with manual compression and 203 with Figure of 8. Per institutional protocol, the right femoral vein was used for the first three access sites, with additional access sites placed in the left femoral vein. There was a mean of 3.6 access sites per subject. Performance and safety endpoints were evaluated in hospital – there was no 30 day follow up in this study.
Endpoints
Freedom from femoral vein access-related major vascular complications at discharge. Additional parameters included time to hemostasis and time to ambulation.
Key Clinical Outcomes
Emory School of Medicine (ESM) Study
Background
Prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Perclose™ in comparison with manual compression. A total of 109 patients (55 Perclose patients*, 54 manual compression patients) were enrolled across three sites from January, 2020 to December, 2020.
Methods
Subjects underwent routine ablation for AF as standard of care (66% cryoablation, 34% radiofrequency) and were followed through for 30 days before exiting the trial. All access sites in the closure arm were treated with one PercloseTM, regardless of sheath size as standard. 52 out of the 53 closure patients had at least one sheath larger than 8F with an average sheath size of 10.24F and sheath sizes ranging from 7-16F.

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (SBHC) Study
Background
Retrospective, single-arm, subject-level study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Perclose™ devices in closure of multiple access sites of the ipsilateral femoral vein following atrial fibrillation (AF). Study included 519 atrial fibrillation patients from November 2016 – March 2020 who had at least one access site closed with a Perclose device and were discharged the same day, with 30-day follow up.
Methods
Right femoral vein was used for access and closure per the site standard with an average of 3.6 access sites per vein. Post-close technique with a single device was used for all access sites, including those above 8F. Access sites ranged from 4-12F.
Endpoints
Freedom from femoral vein access-related major vascular complications at 30 days post-procedure.

Key Clinical Outcomes
EVEREST II / REALISM Continued Registry Study
Background
Hemostasis for large-sized venous access sites is commonly achieved via manual compression (MC) or by a subcutaneous figure-of-eight stitch followed by prolonged application of a compression bandage (usually ≥12 hours). However, this combination leads to patient discomfort and extended immobilization, which in turn may lead to additional complications.
Objective
Evaluate the safety and performance of the Perclose™ Devices SMC in the closure of the venous access site in subjects treated with a large-caliber femoral vein sheath (24F OD).
Method
A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Perclose™ Device SMC in closing large-sized venous access sites through a retrospective data collection from the EVEREST II /REALISM Continued Access Registry Study (REALISM). The retrospective analysis included subjects in whom Perclose™ Device was used as the primary method for large bore venous access-site closure during the MitraClip index procedure with a 24F OD vascular sheath.

STOPDAPT Study Demonstrates Feasibility of XIENCE™ Stent with 3-Month DAPT9
STOPDAPT-3 Trial Design and Randomization11
- PCI with planned exclusive use of CoCr-EES (XIENCE)
- ACS presentation or ARC-HBR
- Eligible for DAPT (Aspirin/P2Y12inhibitor) for 1 month
Study design and Randomization
Group 1:
0 to 1-month: Aspirin + P2Y12 (Prasugrel)
After 1-month: Clopidogrel monotherapy
Group 2:
0 to 1-month: P2Y12 (Prasugrel)
After 1-month: Clopidogrel monotherapy
STOPDAPT-3 Trial 11 was designed to explore 0-month DAPT* (SAPT˄ using only P2Y12 inhibitor) for ACS and HBR patients.
Though the results are comparable for both bleeding and ischemic events for DAPT and SAPT arms, the study did not meet its endpoint and concluded to use DAPT for 1 month after PCI.
XIENCE™ Stent remains the ONLY DES with the shortest DAPT indication, as short as 28 days.12
