Postclose technique for large sheath arterial access using perclose(TM) in emergency endovascular repair

The "Preclose technique" using a perclose device has recently become widely used in various percutaneous procedures requiring a large access sheath. However, the post-procedural application of the perclose(TM) to the large sheath arteriotomy is more challenging because of the risk of bleeding and difficulty of device application. This report introduces a novel post-procedural closing technique of large 22 Fr arterial sheath access using perclose devices.
