Key Points Points to increasing need for achieving safe and secure closure of femoral venous access site after large caliber venous sheath for after structural interventions. Emphasizes the role of a simple, easy to learn “Z‐stitch” for achieving femoral vein hemostasis leading to early ambulation. Cautions and advocates the use of multiple complimentary techniques for venous access closure after extreme large bore devices.
