Abstract:
A suture-mediated vascular closure device is useful for hemostasis of the femoral vein after catheter ablation; however, venous complications remain unclear. We encountered 2 cases of femoral vein occlusion and stenosis using a suture-mediated vascular closure device. Both patients underwent surgical repair and recovered venous flow. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
