چکیده

Angio-Seal is a vascular closure device designed for repairing arterial puncture sites used for various endovascular procedures. It has a better safety and efficacy profile compared to manual compression in the previous studies. However, there are significant complications that may arise from the use of Angio-Seal like infections, aneurysm formation, and vessel occlusion. Our case is a demonstration of one such complication. We conclude with a discussion of the present literature available with regards to the Angio-Seal device.

Angio-Seal™ Embolization: A Rare Etiology of an Acute Distal Limb Ischemia

We herein report a serious vascular complication of diagnostic cardiac catheterization due to an embolization of an Angio-Seal closure device causing acute lower limb ischemia. The Angio-Seal was deployed via the right femoral artery following the catheterization which embolized several hours later to the right popliteal artery. Fogarty embolectomy restored perfusion to the right lower limb; ho...

Rapid hemostasis of arterial puncture sites with Angio-Seal in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Angio-Seal device in achieving rapid hemostasis of the access site after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with manual compression. METHODS From December 2002 to November 2003, the device was used in 88 nonconsecutive patients underwent PCI, their age was 58 +/- 9 years and 78% were male, and time to hemostasis, time to ambulation and...

A Peculiar Case of a Floating Angio-Seal.

PURPOSE To show a complication of the use of an Angio-Seal™ closure device. CASE We present a patient with a systolic murmur in his femoral artery after PCI. The murmur was caused by a dislocated Angio-Seal™, a vascular closure device. This was diagnosed by Doppler Ultrasound. The device was surgically removed. CONCLUSION Vascular complications, such as lower limb ischemia, requiring surgic...

Treatment of Angio-Seal® Vascular Closure Device-Induced Acute Femoral Artery Occlusion with SilverHawk® Directional Atherectomy

Vascular closure devices provide a safe and cost-effective method to achieve rapid hemostasis and early ambulation after angiographic procedures. Rarely, they can result in arterial injury with resultant stenosis or acute arterial closure requiring open surgical intervention. We report an Angio-Seal® vascular closure device-induced acute arterial closure successfully treated percutaneously with...

Experimental regional cerebral ischemia in the middle cerebral artery territory in primates. Part 1: Angio-anatomy and description of an experimental model with selective embolization of the internal carotid artery bifurcation.

Selective embolization of the internal carotid artery bifurcation (ICA bifurcation) was performed in monkeys (Macaca mulatta) to study acute regional cerebral ischemia in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory with minimum surgical intervention in the neck under sedated conditions. The anthropomorphic similarity in angio-anatomy of the carotid system of monkeys and the use of silastic spher...
