It was reported that this was an arteriotomy closure of the right common femoral artery using a proglide device using the pre-close technique via an 18f sheath hole prior to a fenestrated abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) repair interventional procedure.The first device was deployed and pre-placed as intended.Reportedly, during use of the second device after deployment, during step 4, the footplate would not retract and was stuck.The lever was stuck and could not be returned to the original position/lowered.A cut-down was performed to remove the device and a guide break held together by the actuator wire was noted.All broken sections of the device were removed.During the cut-down, when the device was removed, it had the first replaced suture stuck on the device along with the second suture.No vessel damage was noted, and no additional devices were used.The sheath size remained an 18f, and the aaa procedure was completed.Hemostasis was achieved with manual compression.There was no reported adverse patient effect.No additional information was provided.
