Key result
Percutaneous AAA repair with the preclose technique achieves 93% success for both CFA access sites.
Why the study?
Endovascular repair of AAAs requires large-bore sheaths and surgical exposure of CFAs, and less invasive percutaneous approaches were needed to reduce procedural invasiveness.
Is percutaneous repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms using the Prostar XL device and preclose technique feasible and safe?

Is percutaneous repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms using the Prostar XL device and preclose technique feasible and safe?
Complete percutaneous endoluminal AAA repair using the preclose technique is feasible and provides secure hemostasis for large-bore sheaths up to 22 Fr.
Howell et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) (n=30). Percutaneous AAA repair using the Prostar XL Percutaneous Vascular Surgery Device and preclose technique was evaluated on Successful percutaneous repair of both common femoral artery (CFA) access sites. Percutaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair using the preclose technique achieved successful repair of both common femoral artery access sites in 93% of patients.
