Larone Campbell Sid Rao Bret Wiechmann Line Monkey MD Iβm curious to know what the complications were specifically. I have found it to be very reliable, especially when used in patients where I can do the closure with ultrasound. Thereβs only 3 steps. I am concerned about the focal atheroma that Jay Mathews MD, MS, FACC, FSCAI mentioned.

Larone Campbell Sid Rao Bret Wiechmann Pankit Parikh Line Monkey MD We tried it and within the first 3 months our section saw more complications than within 10 plus years of AngioSeal. Absolutely do not understand why one would opt to use it. Just not worth it. Too many steps. Too little benefit.

Larone Campbell Sid Rao Bret Wiechmann Pankit Parikh Line Monkey MD We have use Angioseal for years without any major issues. But most of our cases are retrograde puncture ( much easier with high BMI) converted to ante and at the end redirected to retro and closure. Almost zero complication even with large sheath used for aspiration

Larone Campbell Sid Rao Bret Wiechmann Pankit Parikh Line Monkey MD Celt is great for secure SFA puncture. I'm seeing a bunch come back with focal atheroma in the CFA. May need a drug coated Celt or bioresorbable Celt.

Have recently had to reconstruct CFA for Prostyle CFA occlusion of and another case where the tip broke (see below). These devices arenβt perfect.
Whatβs your go to femoral antegrade closure device of choice? Why?

Equally important if not more,
What are indications to treat (whatever this finding is ) in these anatomical locations? What morphology if any would expedite intervention?

A better term would be βdissection with aneurysmal dilationβ, which does does not infer a rupture.
Letβs settle this ( hopefully)!
Whatβs the right terminology to describe these angiographic findings?

Venkat Tummala MD Saher Sabri Keith Pereira MD, #VIrad Line Monkey MD Varshana Gurusamy M. Larone Campbell Fakhir Elmasri Beautiful result! I especially like how youβcheatedβthe stent graft just a little cephalad to prevent type 1A leak. Not the cheapest solution but a very efficacious,safe, and durable one! #IRad
Weighed in various viable options that were mentioned.
Successful exclusion using appropriately sized stent graft. Anti platelet therapy was initiated.
