Introduction:
Percutaneous endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (PEVAR) using the Perclose ProGlide suture mediated closure device is currently performed on a global scale. A safe, effective, and cheap technique for achieving haemostasis during PEVAR is described that allows the reversible downsizing of the arteriotomy, without using any other devices.
Technique:
The procedure consists of pulling the blue thread of the pre-implanted ProGlide, advancing the knot close to the arterial wall by pushing it with the dilator of a small introducer sheath, and maintaining the system under tension by grasping the end of the blue thread with a haemostat until bleeding control is achieved.
Discussion:
Seventeen PEVAR femoral access downsizing procedures have been performed between February and June 2018 and no complications were observed. The technique could be useful in everyday practice and has now become the author's standard practice.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...
