Key Points Venous compression using a purse string suture is a potential alternative to device suture of the venotomy or to the more extensively described Figure of 8 closure technique. The technique is likely to prove cost effective although the optimal methodology and overall risk remain to be determined. A general comment regarding the common femoral vein: it is a fragile structure. All venous closure techniques require special care not to obstruct, lacerate or sever the vein and operators should be vigilant for both bleeding and thrombosis.
