AI Article Synopsis
- Vascular closure devices are commonly used post-arterial interventions to stop bleeding and allow patients to move quickly after the procedure.
- Complications from these devices can include issues like hematoma, infection, and more serious conditions like arterial occlusion and ischemia.
- The report details two cases of severe arterial occlusion leading to critical limb ischemia, one of which was linked to the use of a vascular closure device, necessitating surgical intervention.
Article Abstract
Vascular closure devices are frequently used after percutaneous arterial interventions to achieve hemostasis at the puncture site and facilitate early ambulation. Occasionally, complications have been reported with closure devices, such as hematoma, infection, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, and ischemia. This is a report of 2 cases of severe, acute-onset arterial occlusion and critical limb ischemia, one of which occurred in the upper limb following the use of a vascular closure device, and the required surgical treatment.
