  • Clinically severe peripheral vascular disease in the ipsilateral limb, defined as severe claudication (walking \< 100 feet), weak or absent pulses, or lower extremity vascular graft.
  • History of ipsilateral femoral arterial puncture within previous three months or history of vascular closure device deployment in ipsilateral femoral artery at any time.
  • Subject has unilateral or bilateral lower extremity amputation(s).
  • Subject is unable to routinely walk at least 20 feet without assistance.
  • Subject has an active systemic or cutaneous infection or inflammation.
  • Subject has a pre-existing severe non-cardiac systemic disease or illness with a life expectancy of \< 30 days.
  • Subject has already participated in this Study.
  • Subject has known allergy to nitinol.
  • Access Site Exclusion-(\*Evaluated via Limited Femoral Angiogram)
  • Pseudoaneurysm or AV fistula present in ipsilateral femoral artery prior to arterial closure.\*
  • Puncture distal to the common femoral artery bifurcation or above the inguinal ligament which is typically defined by the inferior border of the inferior epigastric artery on sheath angiogram or the upper third of the femoral head by plain fluoroscopy.\*
  • The arterial lumen diameter at the arteriotomy site is \< 5mm by visual estimate.\*
  • Angiographic evidence of calcified lesions at the arteriotomy site.\*
  • Difficulty inserting the introducer sheath at the start of the catheterization procedure due to vessel scarring or tortuosity, or anterior/posterior wall femoral artery punctures or greater than 2 ipsilateral arterial puncture attempts at the time of the percutaneous procedure.

  • For cases where anticoagulants are used, ACT level \> 350 seconds at time of enrollment.
  • Subject is determined to require treatment that will extend hospitalization (e.g. ---Subject is undergoing CABG surgery or staged PTCA).
  • Persistent hypertension (SBP \>180 or DBP \>110 mm Hg) unresponsive to medical -therapy at time of enrollment.
  • Placement of an ipsilateral femoral venous sheath during procedure.
  • Presence of clinically significant hematoma (\> 6 cm) in ipsilateral femoral artery prior to arterial closure.
  • Placement of introducer sheath \< 5F or \> 6F during procedure.
