Postclose technique for large sheath arterial access using perclose TM in emergency endovascular repair

The “Preclose technique” using a perclose device has recently become widely used in various percutaneous procedures requiring a large access sheath. However, the post‐procedural application of the perclose TM to the large sheath arteriotomy is more challenging because of the risk of bleeding and difficulty of device application. This report introduces a novel post‐procedural closing technique of large 22 Fr arterial sheath access using perclose devices. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
