What this trial studies

This clinical study aims to evaluate the performance and safety of the LeMaitre® TufTex Single Lumen Embolectomy Catheter in patients undergoing surgical procedures for the removal of arterial emboli and/or thrombi. It is a prospective, single-arm, post-market study that will collect clinical data to ensure the device's effectiveness and assess any emergent risks. The study will involve 112 patients across 3 to 8 sites in Europe, focusing on those who have not responded to thrombolytic therapy or for whom it is contraindicated.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults scheduled for surgical treatment of arterial or venous emboli and/or thrombi who will use the LeMaitre® Embolectomy Catheter.

Not a fit: Patients with co-morbidities that may confound results, those unable to read or write, pregnant or lactating women, and immunocompromised individuals may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and effectiveness of embolectomy procedures for patients with arterial thromboembolism.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar embolectomy devices, indicating a promising approach in this area.
