Abstract
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred approach over open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) due to its minimally invasive nature. The common femoral artery (CFA) is the main access vessel for EVAR, with both surgical exposure and percutaneous access being utilized. However, in emergent cases, percutaneous access can be challenging and may result in complications such as bleeding or dissection thrombosis, leading to the need for surgical conversion. This study aimed to share experiences in implementing a decision-making algorithm to reduce surgical conversions due to percutaneous access failures. A total of 74 aortic patients treated with EVAR in emergency settings were included in this retrospective study. This study focused on various outcomes such as perioperative mortality, morbidity, procedure time, surgical exposure time, and surgical conversion rate. After the implementation of the decision-making algorithm, decreases in surgical conversions and operating time were observed. Percutaneous access was found to be more challenging in cases with specific anatomical characteristics of the CFA, such as severe atherosclerosis or smaller vessel diameter. This study highlighted the importance of carefully assessing patient anatomical features and utilizing a decision-making algorithm to optimize outcomes in EVAR procedures. Further research is needed to continue improving practices for managing aortic aneurysms and reducing complications in femoral artery access approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the recent trend of access miniaturization in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) surgical "cut down (CD)" for femoral cannulation remains the standard at many centers. Percutaneous vascular closure (PVC) devices have recently been introduced for minimizing invasiveness during interventional diagnostic and therapy. This report summarizes the initial experience with this new approach in the setting of MICS, with a special focus on safety and advantages. METHODS Percutaneous cannulation with a standard protocol including preoperative computer tomography imaging and intraoperative point-of-care ultrasound guidance was performed in 93 consecutive patients from September 2018 until February 2020, while conventional "CD" procedure performed in 218 patients in the previous period. We analyzed patients' characteristics and compared access site complications of PVC group versus conventional "CD" group. RESULTS As far as operative/postoperative outcome, the duration of intensive care unit stay as well as hospital stay was statistically shorter in PVC compared with CD (CD vs. PVC: 2.74 ± 3.83 vs. 2.16 ± 2.01 days, p < 0.01, 16.7 ± 8.75 vs. 13.0 ± 4.96 days, p < 0.001, respectively). Further, we found no femoral infection or lymphocele in the PVC group, whereas 4 cases of wound complications were observed in the CD group. CONCLUSION According to our results, percutaneous closure system for femoral vessels in MICS seems to be beneficial with the assist of preoperative computed tomography and intraoperative Doppler guidance.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare a dual Proglide strategy versus a combination of one Proglide and dual Exoseal for large-bore access closure during percutaneous access endovascular aneurysm repair (pEVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 97 patients who underwent pEVAR at our center between January 2021 and February 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: dual Proglide (P + P) and one Proglide with dual Exoseal (P + E). The primary outcome measures were technical success and access-related vascular complications. Technical success was defined as achieving complete hemostasis without a bailout strategy. Postprocedural follow-up for access-related vascular complications was evaluated at 30 and 60 days using computed tomography angiography and ultrasonography. Severity was graded according to the Cardiovascular Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) Classification. RESULTS Overall, a dual Proglide strategy was used in 46 patients (47.4%) with 65 groins (46.4%), and a combination of one Proglide and dual Exoseal was used in 51 patients (52.6%) with 75 groins (53.6%). The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. The total technical success rate was 96.4%, and no significant differences were observed (95.4% vs. 97.3%; p = 0.870). Minor bleeding treatable through compression occurred significantly more often in the P group (CIRSE 1, 10.8% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.042). Hemostasis time, procedural time, length of stay in the hospital, closure device failure, and incidence of unplanned intervention did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSIONS A combined Proglide and Exoseal strategy is safe and effective for large-bore access closure during pEVAR and can be considered an alternative. However, it should be supported by larger prospective studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the closure success rate's outcomes with suture-mediated vascular closure device Perclose ProGlide in patients undergoing aortic or iliac artery endovascular repair using large delivery systems (>21F). MATERIALS AND METHODS We screened all the patient records in aortic databases at 2 centers who had undergone vascular interventions via ProGlide for percutaneous femoral access >21F between 2016 and 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the delivery system size: large (L) (22F-23F) and extra-large (XL) (24F-26F). Demographics, anatomical details, and outcome of percutaneous access were evaluated. RESULTS Included were 239 patients: 121 in the L group and 118 the XL group. Intraprocedural conversion to open surgery because of bleeding was necessary in 2% L and 6% XL patients (p=0.253). Severe femoral artery calcification was the sole risk factor for converting to open surgery (odds ratio=23.44, 95% confidence interval=1.49-368.17, p=0.025). In all, 2% of L and 3% of XL (p=0.631) did require late percutaneous intervention due to stenosis (all treated with balloon angioplasty). Overall, 3% developed pseudoaneurysm treated conservatively in all except one patient requiring surgical repair. Hematoma and groin infection were observed in 9% and 1%, respectively; none required surgical therapy. CONCLUSION A femoral arterial defect after accessing the artery via a large bore sheath (22F-26F) can be closed successfully with ProGlide in more than 90% of patients. Severe femoral artery calcification is a risk factor for conversion to open surgery caused by bleeding. CLINICAL IMPACT This study adds evidence on efficacy of accessing the artery via a large bore sheath (22-26F) secured by ProGlide. In more than 200 patients conversion to open surgery was necessary in only 4%. Severe femoral artery calcification was the sole risk factor for converting to open surgery. Our findings encourage physicians to choose the percutaneous access even in patients requiring the use of large bore sheath.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In endovascular procedures including total percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair (pEVAR), percutaneous access through the common femoral artery is most commonly performed. Access-site bleeding is a major concern in percutaneous techniques. Herein, we present a case of successful control of continuous oozing using a vascular closure device (VCD) and the application of Surgicel (Johnson & Johnson, United States) over the access tract.
CASE SUMMARY An 82-year-old man presented with an unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring 83 mm × 75 mm. The patient had a medical history of atrial fibrillation and was receiving rivaroxaban (15 mg/d). Routine pEVAR was performed using the preclose technique with ProGlide (Abbott, Santa Clara, CA, United States). Significant amount of bleeding was observed at the end of the procedure after the deployment of the closure device at the access site. A sheet of Surgicel was applied to the suture thread using a surgical needle. Surgicel was applied to the surface of the artery along the access tract using a pusher, and hemostasis was immediately attained.
CONCLUSION This simple technique is an excellent adjunct to control residual bleeding from the access site following VCD use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a suture-mediated closure device during percutaneous endovascular aortic repair. METHODS A single-center, retrospective analysis of patients undergoing endovascular repair for infrarenal, thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections via percutaneous femoral access between April 2017 and June 2021 was performed. The primary endpoint of the study was the efficacy and technical success of the Perclose ProGlide closure device during percutaneous endovascular procedures. The secondary endpoints were intraoperative and postoperative inguinal and vascular complications during and after device use. RESULTS A total of 376 punctures were performed in 263 patients with the deployment of the ProGlide vascular closure system. Twenty-two cases involved percutaneous re-puncture as part of a staged procedure. The primary and secondary technical success rates were 93.1% (350/376) and 94.7% (356/376), respectively. In 20 patients (5.3%), intraoperative femoral exposure due to complications was required. Postoperative complications occurred in 13 cases (3.5%), 2 of which required surgical reintervention. There was no statistical significance between the type of endovascular procedure and primary technical success (p = 0.56). The introduction of larger-diameter sheaths was not associated with increased intraoperative and postoperative complication rates (p = 0.75 and p = 0.78, respectively). Percutaneous re-puncture of the vascular access site did not result in a lower overall technical success rate (20/22, 90.9% primary technical success rate, p = 0.67; 21/22, 95.5% secondary technical success rate, p = 0.86) or an increased number of perioperative complications (1/22, 4.5% intraoperative complications, p = 0.86; 2/22, 9.1% postoperative complications, p = 0.13). CONCLUSION The application of the ProGlide closure system is a safe and efficient method to achieve hemostasis during percutaneous endovascular aortic repair. Complex aortic pathologies, which often require a staged approach with re-puncture, can also be successfully treated with this closure system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes of percutaneous access and femoral cutdown methods for elective bifurcated endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. METHODS Between November 2013 and September 2020, a total of 152 patient (135 males, 17 females; mean age: 70.6±6, range, 57 to 87 years) who underwent endovascular repair due to infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm were retrospectively analyzed. According to femoral access type, the patients were grouped into two groups as the total percutaneous femoral access and open cutdown femoral access endovascular repair. Intra- and postoperative data were compared, including operative time, amount of contrast media, bleeding requiring transfusion, return to the operating room, access vessel complications, wound complications, and overall length of hospital stay. RESULTS Eighty-seven (57.2%) femoral cutdown access repair and 65 (42.8%) percutaneous femoral access repair cases were evaluated in the study. The two groups were comparable in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics (p>0.05), except for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which was more frequent in the percutaneous access group (p=0.014). After adjustment, age, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and obesity were not predictive of percutaneous access failure. Percutaneous femoral access was observed as the only preventing factor for wound infection (odds ratio=0.166, 95% confidence interval: 0.036-0.756; p=0.021). CONCLUSION Although femoral access preference does not affect mortality and re-intervention rates, percutaneous endovascular repair reduces operation time, hospital stay, and wound site complications compared to femoral artery exposures.

Abstract
Purpose: There is no report on the reproducibility of the ultrasound-navigated MANTA
deployment (US-MANTA) technique and little is known about predictors for
US-MANTA-related vascular complication (VC). This study aimed to assess the
incidence and predictors of access-site VC using the US-MANTA technique and
report insights of MANTA-related VC from consecutive cases following
large-bore arteriotomy. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve
replacement with the US-MANTA technique from November 2018 to February 2020
were evaluated. MANTA-related VC was defined as access-site complications
leading to major or minor VCs based on Valve Academic Research Consortium-2
criteria. Results: Among 378 patients, 23 cases (6.1%) of MANTA-related VC (major VC: n=7
[1.9%], minor VC: n=16 [4.2%]) were identified. No significant difference
was observed in the incidence of MANTA-related VC over the observational
period (first quartile: 5.3%, second: 5.4%, third: 7.4%, and fourth: 6.3%,
p>.50). In 7 patients with MANTA-related major VC, 4 (57.1%) of
complications resulted from incomplete apposition of the toggle due to
anterior wall calcification of the common femoral artery (CFA). Anterior
calcification of the CFA determined by computed tomography was identified as
an independent predictor of MANTA-related VCs. Conclusions: The US-MANTA technique sustainably provides a low rate of access-site VCs
following large-bore arteriotomy. Incomplete apposition of the toggle due to
anterior calcification of the CFA may lead to ongoing vascular and bleeding
complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to evaluate the primary and assisted secondary percutaneous and non-invasive technical success of the ProGlide device on all-comers in a consecutive case series of percutaneous endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (P-EVAR). METHOD A single-center consecutive case series where 434 elective and acute P-EVAR procedures were registered prospectively between May 2011 and July 2017. The mean age was 74.5 years ± SD 11.4 years. 82.3% of the patients were male. All patients were pre-planned from CT angiography. Percutaneous access punctures, performed in local anesthesia in the common femoral artery, with a final introducer size between 12-22 Fr OD were included and stratified in 2 groups, 12-16 Fr and 17-22 Fr. RESULTS By screening 868 access groins 22 groins were excluded. Of the remaining 846 groins, intended to be treated with ProGlide, 9 groins were excluded peri-procedurally and treated with the Fascia Suture Technique or surgical cutdown. The remaining 837 groins had access closure with ProGlide, with a mean value of 2.15 devices per groin with a slight significant difference between the 2 stratification groups. Primary ProGlide technical success was achieved in 68.1% of the groins. Secondary percutaneous or non-invasive technical success was achieved in 96.9%. Here there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 stratification groups. Thirty-one (3.7%) groin complications were registered during 30-day follow-up and 17 required additional treatment. Total mortality was 2.8%. None of these deaths were related to the access site. CONCLUSION ProGlide by itself has a significant failure rate in the closure of large-bore access holes on an unselected cohort of patients eligible for P-EVAR. However, together with adjunct percutaneous or non-invasive methods a success rate of 97% can be achieved. The access complication rate was lower than 4% at 30-day follow-up.

Outcomes of routine use of percutaneous access with large-bore introducer sheaths (>21F outer diameter) during endovascular aneurysm repair. J Vasc Surg 2020; 73:81-91. [PMID: 32442603 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2020.04.504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Accepted: 04/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of percutaneous femoral access with large-bore sheaths (>21F outer diameter) mainly employed for thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic endovascular treatment and to stratify the outcomes on the basis of the introducer size. METHODS Between December 2015 and December 2018, all consecutive patients who received endovascular repair through a percutaneous approach with a suture-mediated vascular closure device (VCD) and the preclose technique were included in a retrospective single-center study called Totally Percutaneous Approach to Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms (PEVAR-PRO). The morphologic characteristics of the access vessels and patients' demographics were recorded, and 30-day closure success was defined as the primary end point. Analysis of the closure success comparing large-bore sheaths vs small-bore sheaths (≤21F outer diameter) was performed after 1:1 propensity score matching of preoperative confounding variables. RESULTS The closure success rate of the entire study cohort was 94% (622 femoral accesses in 360 patients; median age, 74 years; 84% male). Univariate analysis identified eight different factors associated with failure, but only two remained significant on multivariate analysis: diabetes (odds ratio [OR], 2.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-6.2; P = .011) and common femoral artery stenosis >50% (OR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.3-13.7; P = .019). After propensity score matching (1:1, 172 femoral accesses per group), closure success rate was not significantly different between large-bore and small-bore sheaths (90.7% vs 93.0%; P = .43). Multivariate analysis of the large-sheath group identified two factors associated with failure: small (<9 mm) femoral arteries (OR, 6.9; 95% CI, 1.5-31.6; P = .13) and access vessel calcifications involving more than one-third of the circumference (OR, 7.9; 95% CI, 2.1-29.4; P = .002). Neither previous femoral cutdown (44 accesses [23%]) nor percutaneous closure with VCDs (38 accesses [20%]) affected the closure success rate in the large-sheath group. Closure failure did not significantly increase the need for postoperative blood transfusions or hospital length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Off-label use of VCDs and the preclose technique for percutaneous approach with large-bore sheaths needed for complex aortic endovascular procedures is safe and feasible. Closure success rate is not significantly different from that obtained with on-label application of VCDs with smaller sheaths.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of single ProGlide use per bilateral access site for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed for all elective percutaneous EVARs from November 2015 to December 2017 at the QEII Health Sciences Centre (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada). Exposure of interest was number of ProGlides used per access site, dichotomized into bilateral single ProGlide closure vs nonsingle ProGlide closure on at least one femoral arteriotomy. Outcomes included Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-2 and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria. Groups were compared with Fisher exact test, analysis of variance, or Wilcoxon rank sum, as appropriate. Logistic regression was used to compare the effect of single ProGlide use on VARC-2 and BARC criteria. RESULTS A total of 131 cases were included, of which 116 had bilateral single ProGlide use for access closure. Baseline characteristics including comorbidities and smoking status were compared between groups. Groups were similar for all characteristics except smoking status, with an increased proportion of former smokers in the nonsingle ProGlide group. There were 119 (90.8%) patients who had single ProGlide use on the right femoral artery and 121 (92.4%) on the left; 16 (12.2%) patients had ProGlide deployment issues. Median maximal right and left femoral sheath diameters were 16F (interquartile range [IQR], 16F-18F) and 14F (IQR, 14F-16F), respectively. Median length of stay was 1 day (IQR, 1-1 day). VARC-2 criteria occurred in 8 of 131 (6.11%) patients, 6 of 116 (5.17%) with bilateral single ProGlides and 2 of 15 (13.3%) with nonsingle ProGlides. BARC criteria occurred in 6 of 131 (4.58%) patients, 5 of 116 (4.31%) with bilateral single ProGlides and 1 of 15 (6.67%) with nonsingle ProGlides. Single ProGlide use was not associated with a difference in VARC-2 (odds ratio, 0.35; 95% confidence interval, 0.64-1.94) or BARC (odds ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.07-6.79) criteria. No patients developed pseudoaneurysms or required repeated intervention for bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Single ProGlide use per vascular access site in patients undergoing EVAR is a safe and effective method for access closure with sheath diameters up to and including 16F.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the MANTA percutaneous vascular closure device in patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair (PEVAR) or thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Materials and Methods: The SAFE MANTA Study ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02908880) was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial in patients undergoing endovascular interventions using large-bore sheaths (transcatheter aortic valve replacement, PEVAR, or TEVAR) at 20 sites in North America. Patient selection intended to test the MANTA device in populations without morbid obesity, severe calcification, or a severely scarred femoral access area. Of the 263 patients enrolled in the primary analysis cohort, 53 (20.2%) patients (mean age 74.9±8.9 years; 41 men) underwent PEVAR (n=51) or TEVAR (n=2) procedures and form the cohort for this subgroup analysis. Per protocol a single MANTA device was deployed in all PEVAR/TEVAR cases. Results: The mean time to hemostasis in the PEVAR/TEVAR cohort was 35±91 seconds, with a median time of 19 seconds vs 24 seconds in the overall SAFE MANTA population. The MANTA device met the definition for technical success in 52 (98%) of 53 PEVAR/TEVAR cases compared with 97.7% in the overall SAFE MANTA population. One (1.9%) major complication (access-site stenosis) occurred in this subgroup compared to 14 (5.3%) events in the SAFE population. In the PEVAR/TEVAR group, 1 pseudoaneurysm was noted prior to discharge, another at 30-day follow-up, and one at 60 days. One (1.9%) of the 3 minor pseudoaneurysms was treated with ultrasound-guided compression and the other 2 required no treatment. Conclusion: The MANTA device demonstrated a short time to hemostasis and low complication rates compared with published literature results of other percutaneous closure devices. Time to hemostasis and complication rates were comparable between the PEVAR/TEVAR patients and the full SAFE MANTA study cohort. The MANTA device provides reliable closure with a single percutaneous device for PEVAR/TEVAR procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our study aims to assess the technical quality and the learning curve of the preclosure technique for a vascular surgeon using Proglide using cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM analysis). METHODS This study was designed retrospectively and enrolled 81 consecutive patients with 88 access sites who underwent endovascular aortic repair or thoracic endovascular aortic repair with the preclosure technique using Proglide between July 2017 and February 2018. The patients were divided into 2 groups chronologically: (A) the first 40 cases and (B) the latter 41 cases. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of technical risk factors on the success of the preclosure technique, and the χ2 test and 1-way ANOVA were applied to analyse the distribution of individual characteristics and risk factors between the 2 groups. CUSUM analysis was adapted to analyse the learning curve and to monitor the technical quality, with a predetermined target failure rate of 5%, an alternative failure rate of 20% and calculated 80% 'alert', 95% 'alarm' and 80% 'reassurance' lines. RESULTS Primary technical success was obtained in 81 (92.05%) access sites. There were no significant correlations between primary technical success and risk factors, including, common femoral artery diameter (P = 0.88), common femoral artery depth from the skin (P =0.94), the level of common femoral artery calcification (P =0.86) and size of sheath (P =0.96). Moreover, the distribution of related risk factors was not significantly different between groups A and B. CUSUM analysis showed that the cumulative failure rate never crossed the 80% 'alert' and 95% 'alarm' lines. Additionally, the failure rate began to approach the 80% 'reassurance' line after ∼22 cases and crossed the 80% 'reassurance' line after 36 cases. CONCLUSIONS The technique of totally percutaneous access using Proglide is safe and effective for an experienced vascular surgeon, even if the operator has no previous experience with any preclosure techniques. CUSUM analysis showed that 36 cases are necessary to achieve the target failure rate of 5%.

Abstract
The application of endovascular strategies to treat aneurysms involving the abdominal and thoracoabdominal aorta has evolved significantly since the inception of endovascular aneurysm repair. Advances in endograft technology and operator experience have enabled the management of a wider spectrum of challenging aortic anatomy. Fenestrated endovascular and branched endovascular aneurysm repair represent two technical innovations, which have expanded endovascular treatment options to include patients with paravisceral and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Although similar in many ways to standard aortic endografts, fenestrated and branched endografts have specific short- and long-term complications due to their unique modular endograft design and their sophisticated deployment mechanisms. This article aims to examine the commonly encountered complications with these devices and the endovascular reintervention strategies.
