ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the application of percutaneous suture-mediated closure device (Perclose ProGlide) in patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular aortic procedures.Method From Apr 2011 to Jun 2012,23 patients underwent percutaneous endovascular aortic procedures.The stent delivery system used included one 24Fr,twelve 22Fr,two 20Fr,one 18Fr,two 16Fr,four 14Fr,one 10Fr and four 6Fr.The success rate,complications and the technical feasibility was analyzed.Result The success rate was 93.3％ (28/30),in which two patients were converted to open surgery because of severe stenosis and bleeding of femoral artery.There was no hemorrhage,hematoma,false aneurysm,thrombosis,and serious artery stenosis during the follow-up period ( 8 ± 4 months).Conclusions Percutaneous suture techniques is safe and effective in patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular aortic procedures.Percutaneous suture techniques can be safely used to the branch of aortic arch.
