Suture-based vascular closure devices are used in percutaneous endovascular procedures. However, failures are not uncommon. We have described our initial experience with two adjunct techniques to reinforce the suture-based vascular closure device (ProGlide; Abbot Vascular, Santa Clara, Calif) after percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair. The threads of the ProGlide device (Abbot Vascular) were passed through a pledget with the help of a needle, which was secured to the puncture site to allow for traction compression. The use of the techniques can be helpful if the suture-based vascular closure devices fail to achieve immediate and complete hemostasis. The use of these adjuncts could reduce the incidence of closure-related complications after percutaneous endovascular procedures.

Introduction: Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has emerged as a crucial component of critical care medicine, mainly as a lifesaving intervention for patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest and respiratory failure.
Background: In the past, VA-ECMO decannulation was surgical and often associated with a high rate of periprocedural complications, such as surgical site infection, bleeding, and patient mobilization costs. To reduce the rate of these adverse events, many percutaneous techniques utilizing suture-mediated closing devices have been adopted.

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) should be performed using a less invasive procedure based on the patient's clinical condition, as many patients who undergo this procedure are elderly and have poor surgical tolerance. We report our experience and results of percutaneous EVAR under local anesthesia in order to practice minimally invasive EVAR at our hospital. In August 2019, we started percutaneous EVAR using Perclose ProGlide under local anesthesia.

Objective: Antithrombotic therapy improves endovascular intervention outcomes for peripheral artery disease. However, there are limited data guiding the choice and duration of these adjuvant therapies. Thus, we explored current antithrombotic prescribing preferences among vascular interventionalists, hypothesizing that there are varied and inconsistent treatment practices among providers.

The trans-vessel wall device (TW-device) is a new endovascular tool for precise and safe delivery of various payloads (cells, viral, modified RNA, chemotherapy, growth factors) in oncology and regenerative medicine. The twofold aim of this study was to assess cell engraftment and tumor growth using the TW-device for endovascular transplantation and to evaluate its ability to directly access solid tumors. We used the VX2 model in the rabbit kidney to compare percutaneously implanted fresh VX2 cells with TW-device injections of cryopreserved VX2 cells.
