Abstract
Groin compression and patient stabilization are the conventional methods of achieving hemostasis following angiographic interventions performed by means of common femoral artery (CFA) punctures, but these methods are rather uncomfortable, and they necessitate longer hospital stays. Another disadvantage of these post-interventional measures is that they bear the risk of development of several serious complications including hematoma at the puncture site, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, and pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula formation. The Prostar XL vascular closure kit has been developed with the purpose of implanting surgical sutures at the CFA puncture site, following both diagnostic and interventional procedures. Here, we report a case of closure of femoral artery puncture site with antegrade placement of Prostar XL vascular closure device instead of the retrograde entry as it is commonly used.
