The Mynx (AccessClosure, Inc) is a vascular closure device that uses extravascular deployment of a self-expanding polyethylene glycol (PEG) sealant delivered during removal of the procedural sheath. An intravascular balloon is inflated at the arteriotomy site to prevent leakage of the sealant into the bloodstream. The complication rate with the Mynx vascular closure device is low, but there have been reports of distal embolization of the sealant. Optimal treatment of this complication is unknown, with limited published data relating only to surgical extraction. This is the first reported case of successful percutaneous aspiration of embolized Mynx vascular sealant.
Mynx（AccessClosure公司）是一种血管闭合装置，它在移除手术鞘管时通过血管外部署一种自膨胀聚乙二醇（PEG）密封剂来实现。在动脉切开部位充入血管内球囊，以防止密封剂漏入血流。Mynx血管闭合装置的并发症发生率较低，但有密封剂远端栓塞的报告。这种并发症的最佳治疗方法尚不清楚，仅有有限的已发表数据仅涉及手术取出。这是首例成功经皮抽吸栓塞的Mynx血管密封剂的报告病例。
