A case of intermittent claudication associated with the Angio-Seal™ vascular closure device after carotid artery stenting.
We report a case of intermittent claudication caused by the use of Angio-Seal™ vascular closure device after carotid artery stenting. This device is widely used for hemostasis at the femoral arterial puncture site. It allows early ambulation of patients and reduces labor for manual compression. However, various vascular complications have been reported. Physicians need to know the unique structure of this device and possible complications arising after deployment.
