Study summary

This prospective observational post-market clinical study will collect data in the United States to primarily support the re-launch of the re-designed Beacon Tip Sizing Catheter and Slip-Catheter Beacon Tip Catheter \& Shuttle Select Slip-Catheter (Visceral and Cerbral) for a Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark application in the European Union (EU). Additionally, the data from this study may be used to support regulatory approval in other countries/regions.

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and performance of these catheters in accordance with the Intended Use through the end of index procedure, and through 30 days post procedure, (as applicable as data is available) to ensure an acceptable benefit:risk ratio.

Study population

The patient population for this study will be patients receiving care at the 8 office-based labs (OBLs) consisting of 14 sites, all part of the Data Collection Center, Vascular Breakthroughs. These patients will not be constrained to a specific demographic, but rather will be any person who undergoes a procedure using a Beacon Tip Catheter(s).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • A patient is deemed suitable for inclusion in this study if the patient undergoes a procedure using an applicable Beacon Tip Catheter.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient or his/her legally authorized representative objects to collection and processing of his/her data, or not willing to accept the use of an waiver or the data protection notice (if utilized).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Beacon Tip Catheters

    Beacon Tip Sizing Catheter and Slip-Catheter Beacon Tip Catheter \& Shuttle Select Slip-Catheter (Visceral and Cerbral)

    Device: Beacon Tip Catheters

Interventions

  • DeviceBeacon Tip Catheters

    Indicated for use in angiographic procedures by physicians trained and experienced in angiographic techniques. Standard techniques for placement of vascular access sheaths, angiographic catheters, and wire guides should be employed. Beacon Tip Sizing Catheters have marker bands that can be used for anatomical measurements.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Successful navigation to the intended location

    The primary performance outcome is successful navigation to the intended location The percent of successful navigation to the intended location

    Time frame: Duration of the procedure (approx. 1 hour)

  2. Successful intended use

    Successful intended use (e.g. release of contrast agent (if applicable), successful anatomical sizing (if applicable)), after successful navigation to the intended location

    Time frame: Duration of the procedure (approx. 1 hour)

  3. Freedom from catheter-related major complications

    The primary safety outcome is freedom from catheter-related major complications. Major complications are defined as those that: * Require therapy, minor hospitalization (\<48 hours); * Require major therapy, unplanned increase in level of care, prolonged hospitalization; * Have permanent adverse sequelae; or result in death. The percent of patients with freedom from catheter-related major complications

    Time frame: up to 30 days
