Gastric Artery Embolization Trial for Lessening Appetite Nonsurgically (GET LEAN)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating BeadBlock 300 - 500 Micron and Left Gastric Artery Embolization for Arterial Embolization and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to achieve the collection of safety and efficacy data in patients undergoing left gastric artery embolization for morbid obesity in the United States. As secondary goal, the pilot study seeks to obtain quality of life data. This pilot study is not designed to achieve new indications for this device.
