title: Embolisation of Angio-Seal™ device: an unusual case of post-cardiac catheterisation limb ischaemia.
abstract: We present the case of a 67-year-old male presenting with critical limb ischaemia following cardiac catheterisation. Immediately after deployment of an arterial closure device, the patient reported severe lower limb pain with impalpable pulses. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed an abrupt disruption of flow in the tibioperoneal trunk. Subsequent surgery revealed embolisation of the arterial closure device. The patient went on to make an unremarkable recovery.
