Purpose: This retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate whether large bore 9 F puncture sites can be safely closed with the 8 F AngioSeal STS device after endovascular stroke procedures in patients who did or did not receive recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA).

Methods: Out of 161 consecutive endovascular stroke procedures we identified 72 patients who met the inclusion criteria, of whom 46 received rt-PA before the endovascular procedure and 26 did not. All groin complications such as major haemorrhage, failure of the device to close the puncture site, delayed haemorrhage, acute lower extremity ischaemia or necessary vascular surgery as well as infections were recorded.

Results: Only one patient had delayed groin haemorrhage after closure of the 9 F puncture site with the AngioSeal STS device. There was no significant difference in complications between patients with or without rt-PA treatment.

Conclusion: The 8 F AngioSeal STS seems to be safe and efficient to close 9 F femoral artery puncture sites, even under active rt-PA thrombolysis.

Purpose: Angio-Seal (Terumo Medical Corporations, Somerset, New Jersey) device is indicated for femoral arteriotomy closure. Real-world published data on complications are limited. We present 1 year of safety events involving Angio-Seal from the US Food and Drug Administration's post-market surveillance database of Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE).

Aims: Antegrade femoral puncture is frequently performed in endovascular therapy, with haemostasis achieved through manual compression. The aim of this paper is to report the novel method of achieving haemostasis using the Angio-Seal device for antegrade punctures of the femoral artery.

Methods And Results: Between September 2017 and March 2018, a total of 50 consecutive patients who underwent endovascular therapies (EVT) through the common femoral artery with an antegrade puncture using a 6 Fr introducer sheath were retrospectively analysed.

Background: Vascular and bleeding complications related to secondary femoral access site are frequent in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and their occurrence is associated to poorer outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of vascular closure devices (VCDs) for secondary femoral access hemostasis in TAVR procedures.

Methods: This was a multicenter study including 4031 patients who underwent TAVR (mean age, 81 ± 8 years; mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons [STS] score, 4.

Various adjunctive techniques for neurointerventional procedures require a large-bore sheath introducer, but there is concern that this could result in more puncture site hemorrhagic complications despite using a vascular closure device. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between use of large-bore sheath introducer and post-procedural complications. Between January 2016 and April 2018, 126 neurointerventional procedures were performed in our hospital using 8 or 9 Fr sheath introducer in size and the Angio-Seal STS PLUS (St.
