Abstract
Vascular closing devices (VCDs) are widely used to replace manual compression at the femoral puncture site after catheter insertion. Perclose ProGlide is a suture-medicated VCD that is indicated for both arterial and venous access sites. However, there are few reports of complications related to venous use of ProGlide. Here, we describe a case of femoral vein stenosis caused by a suture-medicated VCD after an ablation procedure, which developed refractory deep vein thrombosis even after surgical vascular repair.

Abstract
Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are useful for reducing bed rest time after percutaneous catheterization procedure without manual compression at the femoral puncture site. Occlusion of the common femoral artery (CFA) related to VCDs has rarely been reported. Although catheter treatment for CFA occlusion may be the first choice, it may be insufficient. Surgical treatment should be performed immediately when catheter treatment for artery occlusion is deemed difficult. We report a case of surgical angioplasty performed for femoral artery occlusion by using a suture-mediated device.

Abstract
Vascular closing devices (VCDs) are widely used to replace manual compression at the femoral puncture site and to reduce the discomfort of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary procedure by shortening bed rest. Among the vascular complications related to these devices, the femoral artery stenosis or occlusion is rarely reported, and its standard management is not well established. We report a case of symptomatic femoral artery stenosis caused by suture-mediated VCD and managed using rotational atherectomy device and balloon angioplasty. In addition, we propose the possible mechanisms for this complication.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to assess the usefulness and safety of the God's Hand pneumatic compression device for hemostasis in patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular procedures via femoral artery. METHODS Two hundred thirty-seven patients in whom hemostasis of femoral catheterization was achieved using a God's Hand pneumatic compression device were enrolled. The patients were divided into group A, those in whom the device was applied for four hours, and group B, those in whom the device was applied for two hours, with an additional two hours of bed rest in both groups. Groups A and B were regrouped to groups A' and B' using the propensity score matching method (n=65, for both). Chi-squared test and logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between the complication rate and patient characteristics and procedure-related factors. RESULTS Clinical success was achieved in 216 of 237 patients (91.1%): 63 in group A (84%) and 153 in group B (94.4%); in propensity score matched groups, clinical success was seen in 47 patients in group A' (81.5%) and 62 patients in group B' (95.4%). Group B' showed a higher clinical success rate than group A' (P = 0.028). There were no major complications. In logistic regression models, a negative association was noted between the complication rate and the duration of God's Hand application; however, this association was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION The God's Hand pneumatic compression device is effective and safe for the hemostasis of femoral catheterization, and four hours of bed rest is sufficient for hemostasis in selected patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the closure of ≤ 8-F versus 9-F to 12-F femoral access using the 8-F Angio-Seal VIP device (St. Jude Medical, Inc, St. Paul, Minnesota). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this investigator-initiated, retrospective analysis, a consecutive series of 137 patients (n = 92 male patients [67.2%]; overall mean age, 71.0 y ± 9.8) was evaluated. Common femoral artery access was performed in all patients, and either unfractionated heparin or bivalirudin was used for anticoagulation. Access site complications were defined as follows: type 0, no bleeding; type 1, no actionable bleeding; type 2, actionable bleeding. RESULTS The 8-F Angio-Seal VIP device was used for closure of ≤ 8-F femoral access in 76 patients (55.5%) and for 9-F to 12-F femoral access in 61 patients (44.5%). Access site complications were observed after 8-F Angio-Seal deployment in 11 patients (8.0%) (≤ 8 F, n = 5 [6.6%]; 9-12 F, n = 6 [9.8%]; P = .54). Comparing ≤ 8-F with 9-F to 12-F femoral access, type 1 complications were observed in 3 and 6 patients (P = .19) and type 2 complications were observed in 2 and 0 patients (P = .50), respectively. All type 1 complications were managed by applying external compression. Type 2 complications (n = 2 pseudoaneurysms) were treated with thrombin injection in 1 patient and secondary percutaneous intervention in 1 patient. CONCLUSIONS Use of the 8-F Angio-Seal for the closure of > 8-F femoral access is safe and effective. Complication rates when using the 8-F Angio-Seal for closure of ≤ 8-F and 9-F to 12-F femoral access are comparable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of the Boomerang™ Wire as an adjunct to manual compression (MC) in patients requiring diagnostic (Dx) or interventional (Ix) percutaneous procedures. BACKGROUND MC remains the standard of care for closure of femoral artery access sites. Adjunctive use of a device to facilitate closure, reduce time to hemostasis (TTH) and ambulation (TTA) without increasing complication rates could reduce costs and hospital resource demands. METHODS The Boomerang™ Trial was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial comparing use of the Boomerang™ wire, (Cardiva Medical, Sunnyvale, CA) in conjunction with MC versus MC alone to achieve hemostasis in Dx and Ix patients undergoing percutaneous procedures requiring femoral artery access. Endpoints included TTH, TTA, major, and minor access-site related complications. Subjects were randomized 3:1, Boomerang versus MC. RESULTS No minor or major device-related adverse events were reported. Nondevice related complication rates were 3 (0.9%) in the Boomerang arm (n = 327) and 1 (0.8%) in MC arm (n = 123). Mean TTH for Boomerang vs. MC was 11.2 ± 4.3 vs. 23.2 ± 11 min for Dx (P < 0.0001) and 13.9 ± 5.4 vs. 38.4 ± 57.3 min for Ix patients (P < 0.0001). Mean TTA for Boomerang vs. MC was 3.3 ± 3.0 vs. 4.5 ± 2.0 hr (P < 0.0001)for Dx and 5.4 ± 3.3 vs. 6.8 ± 3.2 hr (P < 0.0001) for Ix patients. CONCLUSIONS Boomerang™ use, in conjunction with MC, was associated with low rates of complications and demonstrated that Boomerang™ as an adjunct to MC can significantly decrease TTH and TTA after both Dx and Ix procedures. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE Access site complications after endovascular catheterization sometimes require open surgery and negatively impair safety, patient comfort and reimbursement. Increasing numbers of procedures and patients with multiple anticoagulants as well as cost pressure explain the demand for an immediate and stable access site closure. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS Manual compression followed by compression bandage and bed rest for 4-24 h is still the gold standard but is unable to prevent access site complications in all cases. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS Arterial vascular closure devices allow immediate and stable closure of the puncture channel either by suture or by implantation of occluding foreign bodies or gluing fluids. PERFORMANCE The safety has been proven in several clinical trials. The main advantage lies in closing large lumen access sites without surgery and in patients treated with multiple anticoagulants as well as in outpatient procedures. ACHIEVEMENTS They have become a valuable supplement to the interventional arsenal. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS The physician, however, has to decide between different systems and mechanisms with respect to patient constitution, selected access vessel and level of calcification and diameter. Furthermore, all systems require a defined training prior the first use.

Abstract
The Angio-Seal is a widely used arterial closure device that helps achieve faster hemostasis and provide early ambulation to patients. However, it can cause various complications in clinical practice. We present the uncommon complication of popliteal artery occlusion following Angio-Seal deployment, and describe an effective interventional approach to its treatment. Because fluoroscopy-guided Fogarty embolectomy has the advantages of complete removal of the embolus without fragmentation, and clear visualization of the exact location of the embolus during the procedure, it is a suitable method for treating this complication.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety, comfort, and efficacy of an extravascularly deployed bioabsorbable plug-based vascular closure device (VCD) for sealing 6-F antegrade access sites in patients requiring peripheral endovascular intervention. METHODS A single-center, single-arm, prospective study to evaluate the 6-F ExoSeal VCD in terms of technical success, adverse events, and patient comfort enrolled 59 unselected symptomatic patients (42 men; mean age 72.1 ± 9.3 years) suffering from peripheral artery disease in an 11-month period. Patients with high body mass index (BMI) or calcification at the access site were not excluded. Calcifications of the access vessel were scored as grades 1-4 from fluoroscopic images. The pain level during implantation was evaluated after the procedure using a visual rating scale. RESULTS Technical success rate was 98.3%; 1 primary device failure was converted to manual compression. In addition, 1 (1.7%) pseudoaneurysm, 2 (3.4%) minor hematomas, and 1 (1.7%) minor secondary bleeding were observed. There was no intravascular application of the device detected. Neither BMI, calcification of the access vessel (present in 74.6%, mean score 1.4 ± 1.1), age, nor blood clotting had any statistically significant influence on adverse events. In total, 55 (93.2%) patients felt no pain during the VCD implantation. CONCLUSION The tested VCD was safe, with an excellent technical success rate even in cases with severe access vessel calcification.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The incidence of vascular access site related complications ranges between 0.8 % to 1.8 % of diagnostic cardiac catheterization and up to 9 % of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) [1]. The femoral vessels at the groin are used as the access site for the majority of percutaneous coronary, peripheral arterial and venous, and electrophysiologic interventions. With emergence of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR), and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), larger access sheaths (up to 18Fr-24Fr) are required, which further increases the potential for access site complications. The true incidence of access site complications arising from non-coronary interventions is unknown; hence it is likely that the total incidence of vascular access site complications is greatly underestimated. Vascular closure devices (VCDs), radial artery access, fluoroscopic guidance, and ultrasound guidance have all been used with a hope to minimize these complications. Despite these attempts, vascular access complications have not been eliminated. Cardiovascular specialists must promptly identify these complications and manage them appropriately.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the safety and efficacy of the StarClose SE Vascular Closure System (Abbott Vascular, Abbott Park IL, USA) in high-risk thrombocytopenic and coagulopathic interventional oncology (IO) patients. Methods In this single institution retrospective study, 63 high-risk thrombocytopenic or coagulopathic IO patients (M:F=51:12, mean age 58 years, range 31–88 years) who underwent 83 common femoral arteriotomy closures using the StarClose device were identified among all IO patients (n=131) undergoing StarClose closure (n=177) between 2008–2011. High-risk thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy were defined as platelet count ≤100 103/mL and international normalized ratio (INR) ≥1.5. Procedures included chemoembolization (n=67), radioembolization (n=8), and hepatic arterial mapping with technetium-99m macroaggrated albumin administration (n=8) for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (n=79) or liver metastases (n=4). Measured outcomes included technical success of arterial closure and closure-related adverse events, graded according to the Society of Interventional Radiology classification. Results In all cases, 5 French common femoral arterial access was used. Platelet count was ≤100 103/mL in 80/83 (96.4%) cases and INR was ≥1.5 in 35/83 (42.2%) cases. Mean pre-procedure platelet count was 71 (range 26–347) 103/mL and mean INR was 1.4 (range 1.0–2.1). The StarClose device effectively sealed the arteriotomy in 83/83 (100%) cases, 60/83 (72.3%) cases were first-time closures, and 20/83 (24.1%) cases were repeat closures. Small groin hematomas, graded as class A minor complications, developed in 3/83 (3.6%) cases. No other complications were encountered. Conclusions The StarClose SE Vascular Closure System confers high technical success and safety in common femoral arteriotomy closure in high-risk IO patients.

Abstract
Percutaneous closure systems of arterial puncture sites are being used more and more in modern endovascular practice. In this article, we report five cases of thrombotic complications following Angio-Seal deployment which required to be treated in our department between June 2004 and January 2006. We carried out a computerized literature review using "vascular closure" as a keyword and elected 106 articles published between 1992 and 2007. The analysis of this literature review showed that the rate of percutaneous closure complications was similar to the rate of manual compression complications, which is still the reference method. The complications associated with the use of these systems were more complex and more often required surgical repair. The severity and frequency of these complications differ based on the type of closure systems. The vascular surgeon in charge must have a good knowledge of these systems and of the complications each of them entails to be able to treat them in the most appropriate way.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report our initial experience on the technical feasibility and safety for hemostasis of a new pneumatic compression device in patients undergoing femoral arteriotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 40 consecutive patients in whom hemostasis after transfemoral catheterization was readered by using a pneumatic compression device consisting of an inflatable bulb-containing main body and four pieces of supplementary tape. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for outcomes and complications of hemostasis. Technical success was defined as achieving immediate hemostasis 10 minutes after applying the device over the arteriotomy sites, and clinical success was defined as the ability to ambulate after 4 hours of bed rest without any complications. RESULTS Technical and clinical success was achieved in 38 (95%) and 37 (93%) patients, respectively. In two patients, hemostasis was achieved after conversion to manual compression. One patient required sand bag placement after removal of the device to control minimal oozing of blood. No patients had late complications. CONCLUSION The new pneumatic compression device provides effective and safe hemostasis after transfemoral catheterization in selected patient populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the feasibility of a collagen-mediated closure device using a modified Angio-Seal closure technique for access site management following percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). BACKGROUND With the advent of percutaneous aortic valve replacement therapies, there has been a resurgence of interest in BAV procedures. Vascular complications, including bleeding, are a common source of morbidity post procedure as a result of the requirement for large bore femoral artery access. The use of vascular closure devices may reduce bleeding complications. METHODS We describe a new technique for vascular closure in this setting. At the conclusion of the valvuloplasty procedure, two 0.035'' wires are inserted through the femoral artery sheath. A conventional collagen-mediated closure device (8F Angio-Seal) is deployed over the first wire and along side the second wire. If immediate hemostasis is not achieved, a second device is loaded onto the second wire and deployed to achieve hemostasis. RESULTS Percutaneous BAV was performed in 21 patients. Hemostasis was successfully achieved in all patients with either a single 8F Angio-Seal closure device (18 patients) or after placement of a second device (three patients). CONCLUSIONS The modified "Double Wire" Angio-Seal technique is a feasible method for hemostasis following percutaneous BAV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the outcome of carotid stenting using bivalirudin and the influence of vascular closure devices (VCD) on the incidence and severity of peri-procedural hypotension. BACKGROUND Bivalirudin, a short-acting direct thrombin inhibitor, has been shown to be an effective anticoagulant in coronary interventions, with less risk of bleeding compared with heparin. Routine use of VCD has become the standard of care, facilitating patient ambulation after percutaneous carotid and coronary interventions. The combined use of these two therapies (bivalirudin and VCD) may improve outcomes in carotid interventions where prolonged patient immobilization may exacerbate hypotension following stenting. METHODS A total of 514 patients underwent 536 carotid stenting procedures in the 3-year period from September 2004 to September 2007. All patients received adjunctive bivalirudin, with and without VCD. This cohort was analyzed for peri-procedural and 30-day clinical outcomes and length of hospitalization. RESULTS Thirty-day stroke and death rate was 1.7%. A total of 83 patients (15.4%) experienced intra- or post-procedural hypotension (systolic BP < 80 mm Hg). There were four (0.7%) major bleeding complications requiring transfusion, and length of stay was delayed more than 24 hr in five patients (0.93%), all of whom were in the manual compression group. CONCLUSIONS This was a negative study, with no significant difference on prolonged hypotensive events in patients with vascular closure device and bivalirudin, compared with those with manual compression and bivalirudin. Vascular closure devices were safe and effective with a low incidence of complications. In carotid artery stenting, bivalirudin is safe with low incidence of major bleeding and acceptable 30-day adverse event rates (stroke and death).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Access site complications requiring emergent surgery following femoral catheterization expose patients to additional morbidities and mortality. We observed a significant decrease in such surgeries after the Mynx device was introduced. METHODS A retrospective review of surgeries performed as a complication of 6F & 7F femoral cardiac and peripheral catheterization was done. Rates of surgeries among 3 closure methods were compared during the study period July 2006 to July 2008 (Mynx, AngioSeal, and manual/mechanical compression). RESULTS Of 11 006 6F &7F transfemoral catheterization procedures, 26 (0.24%) surgeries secondary to access complications resulted. Surgeries were done in 14 (0.61%) AngioSeal patients, 10 (0.19%) manual/mechanical compression, and 2 (0.06%) Mynx patients (P < .0001 vs AngioSeal, P = .14 vs compression). CONCLUSIONS Significant reduction in surgeries was seen in the Mynx vs Angioseal patients, no difference was noted in compression subset. Further analysis is warranted to prospectively evaluate these findings.

Abstract
Ischemic injuries following percutaneous femoral artery catheterization are uncommon but have been associated with vascular closure devices (VCDs). The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare ischemic and hemorrhagic complications of femoral artery catheterization and to identify factors associated with ischemic injuries. The operative registries of the attending vascular surgeons at one academic and two community hospitals were retrospectively reviewed to identify all complications of femoral artery catheterization requiring operative intervention. Demographic, clinical, procedural, operative, and outcome data were compared between patients who sustained ischemic and hemorrhagic complications. From January 2001 to December 2006, 95 patients required operative management of complications related to femoral artery catheterization including 40 patients who experienced ischemic (group 1) and 55 patients who experienced hemorrhagic (group 2) complications. Compared to those sustaining hemorrhagic complications, ischemic complications were more frequently associated with younger age, smoking, VCD deployment, and, when controlling for VCD use, female gender. Time to presentation was also significantly longer in patients experiencing ischemic complications. Ischemic complications are increasingly recognized following femoral artery catheterization. Vascular surgeons should anticipate a new pattern of injury following femoral artery catheterization, one that often requires complex arterial reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular closure devices (VCD) are well established to facilitate hemostasis after cardiac catheterization procedures. However, impairment of flow due to the reduction of femoral artery diameter remains a major concern. The present study aims to evaluate leg perfusion before and after application of collagen- and suture-based vascular closure devices. METHODS A total of 366 patients (age: 64.3 years+/-10.7, male: 71.3%) were randomized to receive femoral access site closure with either a collagen-based closure device (group A) (n=214) or a suture-mediated device (group B) (n=152), immediately following coronary catheterization procedures. In all patients, the ankle-brachial-index (ABI) was measured before and the day after closure device application. RESULTS In group A, mean ABI at baseline was 1.09+/-0.2, in group B 1.11+/-0.2. In both groups, there was a significant, albeit clinically not relevant, reduction in post-procedural ABI (group A: 1.04+/-0.2, p<0.01 vs baseline, group B: 1.06+/-0.2, p<0.01 vs baseline). DeltaABI was not different between both VCD groups (p=0.55). In patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD), neither the Angioseal device (mean ABI at baseline 0.76+/-0.1) nor the Perclose-device (mean ABI at baseline 0.79+/-0.1) induced a remarkable impairment of leg perfusion (Angioseal: 0.77+/-0.1, p=0.9 vs baseline, Perclose: 0.78+/-0.1, p=1.0 vs baseline). Clinically, no aggravation of claudication was observed in the PVD patient group. CONCLUSION Both vascular closure devices are not associated with clinically relevant reduction in ABI. There was no difference between the two groups with respect to the level of flow impairment. Both devices may be safely used in patients with reduced ABI.

Abstract
New onset of acute lower extremity ischemia following percutaneous coronary and cardiac interventional procedures using femoral access is an important clinical entity that requires emergent assessment to determine the precise etiology and institute appropriate therapy. We report four cases of this clinical event from our catheterization laboratories that serve to highlight the most frequent etiologies, the importance of immediate diagnostic angiography, and the potential for endovascular techniques to effectively manage this complication.

Abstract
The StarClose device (Abbott Vascular Devices; Abbott Laboratories, Redwood City, CA) utilizes an externally placed Nitinol clip to achieve arterial closure following femoral artery puncture. The objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy and complications of the StarClose device in patients undergoing interventional radiological procedures. Preprocedural clotting status, pulse and blood pressure, severity of vessel calcification, sheath size, and time to deployment were recorded. Postdeployment complications immediately postprocedure, at 1 h, at 2 h, and at 1 week were recorded. A duplex scan was performed in the first 10 patients to assess any immediate vascular complications. Deployments were successful in 96% achieving immediate hemostasis. Mean deployment time was 48 s. There were no major complications. The StarClose device was found to have a high technical and clinical efficacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The authors studied the safety and efficacy of the Cardiva Boomerang vascular closure device in patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. BACKGROUND Conventional vascular closure devices (sutures, collagen plugs, or metal clips) have been associated with catastrophic complications including arterial occlusion and foreign body infections; furthermore, they cannot be utilized in patients with peripheral vascular disease or vascular access site in a vessel other than the common femoral artery. The Cardiva Boomerang device facilitates vascular hemostasis without leaving any foreign body behind at the access site, can be used in peripheral vascular disease, and can be used in vessels other than the common femoral artery METHODS A total of 96 patients undergoing transfemoral diagnostic cardiac catheterization were included in this study, including 25 (26%) patients with contraindications to conventional closure devices. Femoral angiography was performed prior to deployment of the Cardiva Boomerang closure device. Patients were ambulated at 1 hr after hemostasis was achieved. RESULTS The device was successfully deployed and hemostasis achieved with the device alone in 95 (99%) patients. The device failed to deploy in 1 (1%) patient and required conversion to standard manual compression. Minor complications were observed in 5 (5%) patients. No patients experienced major complications including femoral hematoma > 4 cm, red blood cell transfusion, retroperitoneal bleed, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, infection, arterial occlusion, or vascular surgery. CONCLUSIONS The Cardiva Boomerang device is safe and effective in patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization using the transfemoral approach, facilitating early ambulation with low rates of vascular complications.

Abstract
The Angio-Seal is a user-friendly and safe arterial closure device increasingly used after percutaneous diagnostic and interventional procedures. Although it achieves rapid hemostasis and facilitates early patient mobilization, its use can be associated with vascular complications. A specific problem related to the device is protrusion of the collagen plug into the artery, causing either acute occlusion or symptomatic stenosis. When this occurs, treatment with balloon angioplasty alone is usually suboptimal, while stenting of the common femoral artery may be undesirable. In this report we describe a novel application of the SiverHawk plaque excision system to treat a highly eccentric stenosis at the site of a previously deployed Angio-Seal. Since the device allows preferential cutting in the direction of the lesion and collagen plug debulking, it may be ideally suited to treat this complication without the need for stenting of the common femoral artery.
