aneurysm repair (EVAR), or thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) using a
percutaneous common femoral arteriotomy created by a 14 to 22 F sheath, 3. Subject is
willing and able to provide appropriate study-specific informed consent, follow protocol
procedures, and comply with follow-up visit requirements, 4. Females who are not pregnant
or lactating and not planning to become pregnant for the duration of the study.

the Intensive Care Unit, within 24 hours prior to primary procedure,
6. Documented left ventricular ejection fraction < 20%,
7. Unilateral or bilateral lower extremity amputation.
8. Claudication (e.g., Rutherford category 3 or greater), documented untreated iliac or
common femoral artery diameter stenosis > 50% or previous bypass surgery/stent
placement in the common femoral artery of target leg,
9. Known existing nerve damage in the target leg,
10. Renal insufficiency (Glomerular Filtration Rate = 30 ml/min or baseline serum
creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL) or on renal replacement therapy,
11. Known allergy to any of the materials used in the PerQseal®+ device (refer to
Instructions for Use),
12. Subject unsuitable for surgical repair of the target leg access site,
13. Subject has undergone a percutaneous procedure greater than 8 F sheath in the target
leg, within the 90 days prior to index procedure,
14. Subject has undergone use of an intra-aortic balloon pump through the target leg
access site within 90 days prior to the index procedure,
15. Subject has undergone a percutaneous procedure of 8 F sheath or less using an
absorbable intravascular closure device for hemostasis, in the target vessel, within
the 90 days prior to index procedure,
16. Subject has undergone a percutaneous procedure of 8 F sheath or less using a suture
mediated closure device or manual/mechanical pressure for hemostasis in the target
leg, within the 30 days prior to index procedure,
17. Evidence of marked tortuosity of the femoral or external iliac artery in the target
leg, based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,
18. Evidence of arterial diameter stenosis > 30% within 15 mm proximal or distal to
arteriotomy site based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,
19. Evidence of anterior wall calcification of the target common femoral artery (other
than small, diffuse deposits which in the opinion of the investigator will not impede
the vascular closure procedure) within 15 mm proximal or distal to arteriotomy site
based on pre-primary procedure CT angiography,
20. Target femoral artery diameter is less than 7 mm in diameter, based on pre-primary
procedure CT angiography,
21. Further planned endovascular procedure in the target leg in the 30 days following the
index procedure,
22. Subject is enrolled in another investigational medical device or drug study
23. Subject has been previously enrolled in this clinical study.
24. Current COVID-19 infection (with or without symptoms), recent positive test for
COVID-19, or recent exposure (within two weeks) to a person with COVID-19 infection.
Procedural Exclusion Criteria If any Procedural Exclusion Criteria listed below, then
closure with PerQseal®+ device is not permitted.
1. Initial common femoral arterial access achieved with manual palpation or blind
arterial stick access, without use of an image guided approach (ultrasound or
angiography).
2. Difficult dilation during initial target femoral artery access (e.g., that damages or
kinks sheath dilators) while step-dilating up to the large-bore device,
3. During arterial puncture, the target femoral artery suspected to have experienced a
back arterial wall needle puncture or underwent > one needle puncture during the
primary procedure.
4. Subject has a tissue tract (i.e., estimated distance from skin entry point to arterial
anterior surface at arteriotomy) expected to be greater than 8 cm,
5. Significant blood loss requiring transfusion of blood products during primary
procedure or within 30 days prior to index procedure,
6. Activated clotting time (ACT) > 300 seconds immediately prior to sheath removal or if
ACT measurements are expected to be > 300 seconds for more than 24 hours after index
procedure,
7. Target puncture site is in a vascular graft,
8. Target arteriotomy greater than 26 F,
9. Target arteriotomy in the profunda femoris or superficial femoral artery or is in
common femoral artery, but within 15 mm proximal of the bifurcation of the superficial
femoral/ profunda femoris artery,
10. Target arteriotomy located at the level or above the inferior epigastric artery and/or
beneath or above the inguinal ligament based on bony landmarks (above femoral head on
A-P projection),
11. Subjects with an acute hematoma > 4 cm diameter, arteriovenous fistula,
pseudoaneurysm, or intraluminal thrombosis at the target access site identified
intra-procedurally,
12. Evidence of bleeding around the primary procedure sheath (BARC type 2 or higher),
13. Intra-procedural angiographic evidence of arterial laceration, dissection or stenosis
within the femoral artery that would preclude use of the PerQseal®+ device,
14. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg or diastolic blood
pressure > 110 mmHg) at the time of planned vascular closure,
15. Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg at the time of planned vascular closure.
