Endovascular Repair Of A Common Femoral Artery Puncture After Losing Access Utilizing A Vascular Closure Device

Abstract We present a case of a common femoral artery repair after losing access to the vessel in a 67-year-old female patient using a Mynx-Grip® vascular closure device. The hematoma over the right common femoral artery was accessed under fluoroscopic guidance. Then, the balloon of the closure device was inflated inside the artery and pulled back against the origin of the puncture site into the common femoral artery. Finally, the collagen plug was deployed and pressed against the outside of the vessel to occlude the puncture site.
