What this trial studies
This observational study aims to collect and evaluate clinical data on patients using the Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System for arterial and venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature. The study will confirm the device's performance and safety, identify previously unknown side effects, and monitor known side effects related to the procedures or medical devices. It plans to enroll 132 subjects over a one-year period, with each participant followed for one year. The final report is expected to be completed in 2026.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and efficacy of the Cera Vascular Plug System, leading to better patient outcomes in vascular procedures.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies on vascular embolization devices have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is supported by prior research.
