It was reported that this was a closure of a very deep right common femoral vein with a prostyle device using the pre-close technique via a 6fr sheath hole prior to a left atrial appendage occlusion procedure.Reportedly, there was no bleed back from the marker lumen.It was viewed under fluoroscopy, and it was judged that the device was in the vein enough, therefore the suture was deployed and pre-placed.The sheath was upsized to 16f, and the procedure was completed.After advancing the knot to the vessel wall, bleeding continued from the access site.It was noted that the suture was deployed in soft tissue and not the vein.A figure of eight suture was applied to achieve hemostasis.There was no reported adverse patient sequela and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure or therapy.No additional information was provided.
