Percutaneous closure of femoral artery access sites in endovascular stent-graft treatment of aortic disease

Arteriotomy Closure Devices for Cardiovascular Procedures

“…Additionally, an emerging clinical indication for ACDs is their preclosure use during endovascular procedures with very large sheath insertion (ie, 12F to 15F) for percutaneous ventricular assist devices, such as TandemHeart and Impella, 20 and Ͼ20F for endovascular valve procedures, such as aortic repair. 21,22 The majority of these initial descriptions involve the use of 2 to 3 suture-mediated ACDs deployed at the start of the procedure with closure at the end. Use of this "preclose" technique has also been described for large sheath insertion associated with endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.…”

Suture‐mediated arterial access site closure after transfemoral aortic valve implantation

“…The “preclosure” technique is already known from balloon aortic valvuloplasty and endovascular aortic repair . Generally, operators “preclose” with either one or two 10 French Prostar XL™ or with multiple ProGlide™ devices.…”

Outcomes of total percutaneous endovascular aortic repair for thoracic, fenestrated, and branched endografts

“…21 Our technical success rate of 95% compares favorably with prior reports (Table III). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]14,20,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Despite the use of different devices and some variations on techniques, three meta-analysis have shown >90% technical success with a low incidence of complications. 13,37,38 With respect to reports dealing with thoracic or fenestrated and branched endografts, there are limited data.…”
