AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of Proglide vascular closure device in patients undergoing another endovascular aortic repair via femoral artery (TEVAR).
METHODS Fifty-three patients with endovascular repair via femoral artery approach from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed as the study group, and 33 patients with femoral artery repair through inguinal incision from January 2010 to January 2021 were selected as the control group. The patients in the study group were divided into experimental group A and group experimental B according to whether or not the patients were re-intervened by femoral artery.
RESULTS There was no significant difference in age, gender and other clinical characteristics between the two experimental groups and control group. Each of the two experimental groups had 1 case that was converted to suture puncture point. There was no significant difference in the diameter of femoral artery (mm), diameter of puncture sheath (f), operation time (min) and hospital stay (d) between the three groups.
CONCLUSION Proglide device is a minimally invasive, safe and effective method for vascular closure in patients who need to undergo another femoral artery approach.
