Summary
Vascular closure devices are widely used by interventional specialists. This review details the technique for using the VasoSeal device for closing percutaneous arteriotomy sites after procedures.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are increasingly adopted by interventional radiologists and cardiologists.
- Traditional training emphasized manual puncture site management.
- The VasoSeal device has become a primary closure method in many practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the technique of VasoSeal device deployment.
- To provide guidance on closing percutaneous arteriotomy sites using VasoSeal.
Main Methods:
- The article reviews the clinical experience with the VasoSeal device.
- Approximately 2400 procedures using VasoSeal are referenced.
- The focus is on the technical aspects of VasoSeal application.
Main Results:
- The VasoSeal device has been utilized in a significant number of procedures.
- The review aims to share practical insights into its application.
- No specific quantitative results are presented in the abstract.
Conclusions:
- The VasoSeal device is a viable option for vascular closure.
- Familiarity with VCD techniques is important for interventionalists.
- This review serves as a technical guide for VasoSeal users.
