Vascular closure devices are commonly used to obtain arterial access site closure after cardiovascular procedures. They are popular as they decrease time to hemostasis and ambulation while improving patient comfort by eliminating need for compression. However, complications due to vascular closure devices are not uncommon. We report a case of possible intravascular distal embolization of water-soluble PEG polymer that is deployed extravascular using the Mynx vascular closure device.
血管闭合装置常用于心血管手术后实现动脉穿刺部位的闭合。它们很受欢迎,因为它们缩短了止血和下床活动时间,同时通过消除压迫需求提高了患者的舒适度。然而,血管闭合装置引起的并发症并不罕见。我们报告了一例使用Mynx血管闭合装置在血管外部署的水溶性聚乙二醇聚合物可能发生血管内远端栓塞的病例。
