  Objectives: Percutaneous access is now the norm for many endovascular procedures. Suture-mediated closure devices are commonly used for vessel repair after percutaneous access. Incomplete hemostasis after device deployment is not uncommon. Several adjuncts to suture mediated closure have been described, which allow operators to optimise hemostasis, and potentially avoid surgical exposure and repair of the punctured vessel. We review and compare different adjunct techniques to augment hemostasis after suture-mediated vascular closure device deployment. Methods: We performed a literature search of MEDLINE using a combined search strategy of Mesh terms. Articles documenting adjunct techniques and maneuvers used after suture-mediated closure of 11-25 French arteriotomies in the femoral artery were included and reviewed. .. View more»
