Abstract

Vascular complications (VCs) remain an important source of morbidity and mortality following percutaneous arterial catheterization. Vascular closure devices are popular and frequently used, but sometimes cause vessel occlusions that may require vascular surgery or complex endovascular procedures. In this case report, we describe the endovascular retrieval of an embolized Angio-Seal device causing acute limb ischemia in a severely diseased 75-year-old female patient. This case highlights the endovascular technique using a snare catheter and adds another example to the growing evidence of an endovascular approach to manage vascular access site complications in comorbid patients at risk.
