β¦ Synopsis
We present a case of balloon angioplasty of the superficial femoral artery via a popliteal artery access with successful percutaneous vascular closure of the vascular access site (6-F Techstar). A femoral arterial approach had not been feasible due to previous aorto-femoral and femoro-femoral bypass operations. Clinical and ultrasound follow-up showed no complications up to 3 months after remote suturing.

A new device that enables closure of the femoral artery puncture site by percutaneous placement of two nonabsorbable sutures (Prostar'") was evaluated. Our initial experience included 32 insertion attempts at 29 femoral arterial puncture sites and one femoral venous puncture site. The device was app
To investigate the hemostatic capabilities of a novel vascular sealing device consisting of a balloon catheter and procoagulant, vascular sheaths were placed percutaneously in the femoral arteries of dogs. The sealing device was evaluated using the balloon catheter alone in six femoral arteries and
The objective of this study was to assess the initial safety and feasibility of a novel suture-mediated device for closure of femoral access sites immediately after diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization. In a prospective study, 150 patients (mean age, 61.5 years; 109 male) underwent f
