Retrospective Evaluation of Safety and Effectiveness of the EXOSEAL Vascular Closure Device for Single Vascular Closure and Closure after Repeat Puncture in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology: Single-center Experience

Efficacy and Time-To-Hemostasis of Antegrade Femoral Access Closure Using the ExoSeal Vascular Closure Device: A Retrospective Single-Center Study

“…This has already been shown for retrograde arterial access closures. 8 There are some limitations to the present study. Available data were analyzed retrospectively.…”

“…In general the safety and efficacy of these VCDs has been confirmed for retrograde access in several studies 11e13 even in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy 14,15 or after repeated closures. 8,16 Despite a steeper puncture angle, VCDs are also increasingly used for the closure of antegrade femoral access sites. 4,5 Studies examining the safety and efficacy of antegrade vascular closure devices demonstrated effectiveness in obtaining hemostasis.…”

Exoseal for puncture site closure after antegrade procedures in peripheral arterial disease patients

“…The first study published on Exoseal 7 F included 60 patients and concluded Exoseal to be safe in size 7 F. Furthermore, a short time to hemostasis, short time to ambulation and low complication rates were observed (24). In another, recently published retrospective study on Exoseal 5 F, 6 F and 7 F, the device was assessed as safe and effective independently of its size or whether an intervention had previously taken place at the puncture site; however, the study was conducted exclusively on retrograde vascular interventions (25).…”

Comparison of Exo-Seal® and Angio-Seal® for arterial puncture site closure

“…In a retrospective analysis, Boschewitz and coworkers reported the safety and effectiveness of the Exo-Seal  system citing a very low complication rate of 1.17 % [36].…”
