title: Fluoroscopy-guided snare retrieval of the celt ACD(®) metallic vascular closure device following failed deployment.
abstract: We report a case of endovascular snare retrieval of a new stainless steel vascular closure device (Celt ACD(®) , Kimal, Middlesex, UK) from the common femoral artery, following device failure after diagnostic coronary angiography. The stainless steel composition of the device aided successful fluoroscopic localization and removal.
