The study objective is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the investigational device to achieve hemostasis of common femoral artery access sites in participants undergoing percutaneous interventional catheterization procedures utilizing 10 to 24 Fr introducer sheaths.

The Ladera Medical suture mediated large bore closure (LBC) system is a vascular closure device intended for use in catheterization laboratories following percutaneous interventional catheterization procedures that use the retrograde common femoral artery access route for large bore interventional devices. The function of Ladera LBC System is to percutaneously close the puncture in the artery wall (arteriotomy) through which the catheters were inserted for the procedure. The study is being conducted to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the LBC System in achieving hemostasis in femoral arterial access sites in subjects undergoing percutaneous interventional catheterization procedures using a large-bore procedure sheath.

Inclusion Criteria:
