Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subject or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) must voluntarily sign and date the approved Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to collection of study-specific data or performance of study-specific procedures.
  • Subject must be either male or non-pregnant female ≥18 years of age with an expected lifespan sufficient to allow for completion of all study procedures.
  • Subject must be willing and able to comply with protocol requirements, including all study visits and procedures.
  • Subject must require peripheral vascular occlusion at an arterial target embolization site(s) that can be treated with the Caterpillar™ Arterial Embolization Device according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). Note: Per Investigator discretion, up to five (5) Target Embolization Sites may be treated with up to ten (10) study devices per subject.

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria

  • The target embolization site(s) must be located in a native arterial vessel(s) with the intended arterial vessel diameter ranges shown in the IFU, as assessed by the Investigator (via visual estimate).
  • The target embolization site(s) must have a landing zone sufficient to accommodate the device implant lengths shown in the IFU.

Exclusion Criteria

  • The subject's access vessel(s) preclude safe insertion of the delivery catheter.
  • The subject's target embolization site(s) is located within a vein.
  • The subject's target embolization site(s) is located within the head, neck, heart or coronary vessels.
  • The subject's target embolization site(s) is located across highly locomotive joints or muscle beds (e.g. elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, thoracic inlet/outlet).
  • The subject's target embolization site(s) is located in a high-flow vessel where, in the opinion of the Investigator, there may be significant risk of migration and unintended (non-target site) occlusion.
  • The subject has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to contrast media that cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
  • The subject has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the device materials including: cobalt, chromium, nickel, titanium, platinum, iridium, polyurethane or polyethylene.
  • The subject has planned use of anticoagulant (e.g. direct thrombin inhibitors, factor Xa inhibitors, vitamin K antagonists) or antiplatelet therapy before, during and/or after treatment with the study device, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would clinically interfere with the study endpoints.
  • The subject has a known uncontrolled blood coagulation or bleeding disorder.
  • The subject has an unresolved systemic infection.
  • The subject's required pre-operative laboratory tests and/or physical examination indicate abnormal results, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would clinically interfere with the study endpoints.
  • The subject has a connective tissue disorders (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), arteritis (e.g. Takayasu's Disease) or another circulatory disorder, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would clinically interfere with the study endpoints.
  • The subject has another medical condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may cause him/her to be non-compliant with the protocol, may confound the data interpretation, or is associated with a life expectancy insufficient to allow for the completion of study procedures and follow-up.
  • The subject is currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not completed the study treatment or that clinically interferes with the study endpoints. Note: Studies requiring extended follow-up visits for products that were investigational, but have since become commercially available, are not considered investigational studies.
