FIG 2. Photograph of the patient’s neck immediately after the carotid closure shows the external part of the Angio-Seal device. The tension spring (thick arrow) is positioned between the tamper tube compactor (open arrow) and the crimp stop (arrowhead) for 20 min to compact the collagen plug against the adventia of the artery. The bioabsorbable Dexon (polyglycolic acid) suture (thin arrow) is then cut, and the tamper tube compactor is discarded.
