title: [Immediate and long-term results of percutaneous suture of femoral access-site after endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic disease].

The purpose of this study is to describe our clinical experience and results obtained using percutaneous closure devices for femoral artery closure after the placement of stent grafts.
