This is a case example reported via an article.It was reported that an arteriotomy closure was attempted using proglide devices relative to a decannulation of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation procedure with a large bore sheath.Reportedly, there was an "improper operation with the perclose proglide device.Specifically, the operator pushed the knots and sutures deep under the arteriotomy site for release." acute ischemia occurred and a severe stenosis [occlusion] of the superficial femoral artery was noted.It was believed that the most probable cause of the stenosis was the improper operation of the proglide device.A drug-eluting stent was implanted to prevent ongoing lower limb ischemia.Additional information can be provided in the article titled: "outcomes comparison between percutaneous decannulation with perclose proglide and surgical decannulation of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation".
