Technique of Delayed Endovascular Hemostatic Closure for Large Bore Vascular Access Site: A Case Series

Large bore vascular access is becoming increasingly common for a range of interventional cardiovascular procedures. In the vast majority, percutaneous closure is preplanned and successfully achieved. However, for patients with percutaneous closure failure, or those requiring prolonged hemodynamic support, alternatives to percutaneous closure are required. Currently there are no approved vascular closure devices for delayed removal of large bore sheaths and therefore, manual hemostasis or surgical closure remain the only options.
