The vascular closure device is used for hemostasis after the procedure with arterial puncture. The device is becoming more critical as the endovascular arterial intervention is being widely used. FemoSeal(r) is one of the popular closure devices that was verified for safety and effectiveness. However, there is still complication in some cases and disastrous complications arise sometimes. Even with little experience, we could reduce the complication rate by using realtime ultrasonography (US) monitoring during the deployment of this device. We are suggesting that complications related to FemoSeal(r) could be more reduced by our method. So, we are introducing our experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
