ABSTRACT
Several different arterial puncture closure devices are available for use after cardiovascular procedures. The main advantages include decrease need of manual compression, reduce patient discomfort, and the time to ambulation. Access site complications are not rare after vascular closure device use. We report a case of popliteal artery embolization after using an extravascular water soluble plug-mediated vascular puncture closure device.

The prevalence and treatment of behavioral and mental illnesses in the adolescent population are increasing, and many of the medications used are continued into adulthood. Increased vigilance is necessary when caring for this population to prevent side effects and drug interactions. In this short communication, we present a case of myocardial infarction in a male likely related to drug interactions between bupropion, erythromycin, and methylphenidate.
