Case report reveals ultrasound's effectiveness in identifying intra-arterial misplacement of vascular closure devices, suggesting improved patient outcomes.
Vascular closure devices (VCDs) have revolutionized post-procedural hemostasis following arterial catheterization by providing a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional manual compression. However, complications such as misplacement or malfunction can result in arterial thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm, or occlusion, which require early diagnosis and management to prevent morbidity (V.J. Noori et al. J Vasc Surg 2018; 68: 887–899).
