Occurrence of angiographic femoral artery complications after vascular closure with Mynx and AngioSeal

Abstract: Angiographic complications were seen in only 3% of patients after closure with Mynx or AngioSeal VCDs. There were no clinically significant groin site or vascular complications. These data suggest that both VCDs are safe for use after angiography with a low rate of femoral artery complications.

“…Femoral artery complications have been described by several authors in the setting of acute stroke 4 and other interventions, 5 6 however, few have correlated the size of the sheath and type of vascular closure device used with the incidence of such complications. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the impact of large sheath sizes and vascular closure devices on groin complications, in a high-volume neurointerventional center.…”

“…Whether the safety and efficacy of the device are comparable to other systems still remains unclear so far [ 17 – 19 ]. However, patient comfort may be higher with the use of the MYNXGRIP compared to the Angio-Seal [ 14 ]. Garasic et al investigated the successful use of the MYNXGRIP device in repeated arterial puncture in a sheep model [ 20 ].…”

“…Although prior studies have addressed patients undergoing neurointerventional procedures,39 40 this prospective study featured a significantly larger sample population undergoing a mix of both neurodiagnostic and neurointerventional angiographic procedures. Our experience of a 92% success rate for femoral arteriotomy closure and 2.45% complication rate using the Mynx device is congruent with prior reports of Mynx18 38 and other VCD hemostasis rates 10 23 41–46…”

“…Prior studies of complications associated with the Mynx VCD have cited rates ranging from 0% to 4.2%,39 40 47–49 with rates varying based on length of follow-up, consistency of follow-up, and definition of major and minor complications. Most recently, Fargen et al 40 reported a 0% complication rate after angiographic follow-up approximately 6 days after Mynx VCD use; however, lack of immediate procedural device failure and complications as well as extremely limited follow-up time make this rate less generalizable. Scheinert et al 38 reported eight complications (one major, seven minor) in 190 procedures, with the only major complication involving an access site related bleed requiring transfusion.…”
