Nonsurgical removal of angio-seal device after intra-arterial deposition of collagen plug

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2000 Jul;50(3):340-2. doi: 10.1002/1522-726x(200007)50:3<340::aid-ccd15>3.0.co;2-h.

Abstract

Intra-arterial deposition of collagen may complicate deployment of the Angio-Seal arterial closure device. This problem has traditionally been treated surgically. We describe a case of nonsurgical Angio-Seal removal from the femoral artery and outline steps to prevent and manage intra-arterial collagen plug deposition.
