Vascular leadership

The reviewer who certified the files now builds them.

Dr Mark DaCosta is a cardiac surgeon and former TÜV SÜD Notified Body reviewer who has certified more than 400 cardiovascular devices in Europe. As COO and Head of the cardiovascular practice, he brings direct Notified Body insight to every vascular and endovascular assignment, so imaging endpoints, DSMB governance and PMCF design translate into approvals from the very first protocol version.

What is a vascular medical device?

A vascular medical device is used during open surgery and endovascular techniques to control, diagnose, monitor or correct disease or injury. It encompasses cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and neurovascular anatomy.

Experienced vascular team

Our team specialises in implants, endovascular prosthesis and stents intended for use in arteries and veins, collaborating with in-house clinicians specialised in endovascular surgery and clinical investigation.

Device coverage

Examples of products we cover.

  • Cardiac ablation catheters
  • Intravascular imaging catheters
  • AAA treatment devices
  • Neurovascular flow diverters
  • Drug-eluting & bare metal stents
  • Embolic & IVC filters
  • Balloon catheters & guidewires
  • Renal artery denervation tools
  • Transcatheter & surgical valves
  • Vascular closure devices
  • Vascular grafts (ePTFE)
  • Stent-grafts (textile)
Clinical oversight

DSMB & CEC services.

Ensuring patient safety and data integrity through periodic risk-benefit evaluation and independent event adjudication.

DSMB setup & activities

  • Charter & adjudication form development
  • Expert member selection
  • Patient dossier development
  • Meeting coordination & results communication

Clinical Events Committee (CEC)

  • Identification of adjudicable events
  • Clinical document retrieval
  • Rigorous meeting minutes & documentation
  • Direct liaison with data management
Cardiovascular CoreLab

Reproducible imaging for evidence-based outcomes.

Cardiovascular medicine is increasingly dictated by evidence-based guidelines. Our Center for Advanced Imaging assesses the imaging component of trials to ensure it is reproducible and yields the best outcomes, in collaboration with the CORRIB core lab.

  • Angiography core lab
  • Intravascular & echocardiography lab
  • Coronary physiology core lab
  • 4D echocardiography (LV size & EF)
Case study

Vascular patch, Class III.

The challenge

Intended claims on safety and performance were not sufficiently supported by existing evidence. A comprehensive PMCF study was required under EU MDR Chapter VI and ISO 14155:2026.

Objectives

  • Confirm safety in carotid and femoral locations
  • Identify emergent risks based on factual evidence
  • Ensure continued acceptability of the benefit-risk ratio

Methodology

Multicentre real world evidence study. 250 to 300 subjects evaluated across 8 sites, with data retrieved from medical charts from baseline to 3 years post-surgery.

It spans cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and neurovascular anatomy, and includes stents, grafts, catheters, closure devices and implants for arteries and veins.

Why choose a specialist vascular device CRO in Europe?

Vascular programmes under EU MDR need imaging core lab capability, endovascular clinical expertise, robust DSMB and CEC governance and Notified Body insight. Eclevar combines access to a world-renowned angiography core lab with a clinical site active in over 30 cardiovascular trials and a former Notified Body reviewer on the leadership team.

What core lab capabilities does Eclevar offer for vascular trials?

Angiography core lab, intravascular and echocardiography lab, coronary physiology core lab and 4D echocardiography for left ventricular size and ejection fraction, delivered so the imaging component of a trial is reproducible and yields the best outcomes.

Does Eclevar provide DSMB and Clinical Events Committee services?

Yes. Eclevar sets up Data Safety Monitoring Boards (charter and adjudication forms, expert member selection, patient dossiers, meeting coordination) and Clinical Events Committees (event identification, clinical document retrieval, rigorous minutes and direct liaison with data management).

Which vascular devices does Eclevar cover?

Cardiac ablation and intravascular imaging catheters, AAA treatment devices, neurovascular flow diverters, drug-eluting and bare metal stents, embolic and IVC filters, balloon catheters and guidewires, transcatheter and surgical valves, vascular closure devices, ePTFE grafts and textile stent-grafts.

Can Eclevar run a PMCF or real world evidence study for a Class III vascular device?

Yes. Eclevar has delivered a multicentre real world evidence PMCF study for a Class III vascular patch, 250 to 300 subjects across 8 sites with data from baseline to 3 years post-surgery, accepted by the Notified Body under EU MDR Chapter VI and ISO 14155:2026.
