The following information was reported: the patient was being closed with a mynx device.The physician was shuttling down and said he felt the device/balloon "relocate".This feeling of movement was very disturbing to the physician.He aborted the mynx closure procedure, and immediately checked distal pulses and performed ultrasound of the site to see if any sealant had been introduced into the patient's femoral artery.It was determined by the physician that no sealant had been delivered into the patient's vessel.Manual pressure was held for 20 minutes, hemostasis was achieved and there were no further access related issues with this patient.Procedure type: intervention peripheral vessel type: arterial.
