Clinical Evidence on Closure of Large-Bore Venous Access
Perclose Cohort in the REALISM19 Clinical Trial
A prospective analysis was performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Perclose in closing large-sized venous access sites through a retrospective data collection. The prospective analysis included subjects in whom Perclose was used as the primary method for large-bore venous access site closure during the TMVr index procedure with a 24F vascular sheath.
Key Findings
Major complication was low at 1.9%
Freedom from major femoral vein access site-related complications was 98.1% at 30 days
Perclose is safe and effective in the closure of venous access-site with up to 24F sheath
Low major complications at 30 days

The Realism Clinical Trial: Perclose Cohort Abstract
Real-World Evidence on Repair of Large-Bore Arterial Access
Perclose vs. Surgical Cutdown
The Perclose vs. Surgical Cutdown retrospective study is designed to compare clinical outcomes and complication rates among patients undergoing closure of large-bore arterial access using Perclose versus Surgical Cutdown (Cutdown) in a real-world setting.
Key Findings
The use of Perclose for repair of large-bore arterial access is associated with significantly lower blood transfusions, infections, mortality, and length of stay compared to Surgical Cutdown.

Outcomes of 2,381 percutaneous femoral access sites’ closure for aortic stent-graft
Objective: The aim of this publication was to report outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair with percutaneous femoral access (PEVAR) using Prostar™ XL and Perclose closure systems, from the multi-center Italian Percutaneous EVAR (IPER) registry.
Method
Prospective
– 7 centers
– Operators with at least 50 closure device deployments
January 2010 – December 2014
– Use of Perclose began in 2013
3.2% (76/2,381) major complications21 requiring surgical cutdown
1.1% (27/2,381) minor complication22
0.25% (6/2,381) puncture site complication observed during one-month follow-up
Key Takeaways
High device success (Perclose 97.5%) even with demanding cases due to the presence of obesity (24.7%), femoral artery calcification (53%), and iliac tortuosity (22.6%)
First and largest prospective study carried out on a cohort of unselected patients undergoing PEVAR with different endografts in well-trained centers by highly experienced operators
Femoral calcification was the only independent predictor of technical failure
20. Technical success was defined as the ability to obtain a successful percutaneous vascular access and closure without serious complications.
21. Major access-related complications included all the complications requiring an early surgical conversion due to bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, CFA stenosis/occlusion, and were considered a technical failure of system closure.
22. Minor access-related complications were related to the presence of minimal bleeding at the access site not requiring surgical conversion.

Single operator with 50 small-hole closure experience (no prior large-hole experience)
Angiotomography instead of ultrasound used for puncture
Perclose Result
98.37% (121/123) patient technical success rate23
1.62% acute major complication rate
– Failures had > 2/3 CFA calcification
0.81% (1/123) minor complication observed at 30-day follow-up
Operator encountered an initial learning curve with the 3 complications occurring during the first 35 cases
Key Takeaways
Experience with Perclose for small-hole closure helps with large-hole closure success
Pre-operative imaging on the puncture site to assess calcification important for device success
23. Device failure defined as failure to achieve hemostasis at the access site, leading to alternative treatment other than manual compression.

Perclose in PEVAR – Taiwan Study
Objective: Evaluate the outcomes and predictive factors for additional Perclose deployment
Method
268 patients, 418 vascular access sites
9 operators
– 3 were within the learning curve for Perclose24
Factors measured
– Depth
– Sheath size
– CFA diameter
– Any CFA calcification
Anterior wall
Lateral wall
Medial wall
Posterior wall
Perclose Result
87.6% (366/418) Primary technical success25 with two Perclose
99% secondary technical success26 with additional Perclose device
– 38 required one additional device and 10 required two additional devices
Only anterior CFA wall calcification was a significant predictor for additional Perclose deployment
Key Takeaways
It is important to perform a femoral angiogram to evaluate the severity and location of calcification at the puncture site
Even with additional device deployment, high success rate was able to be achieved even in the presence of anterior wall calcification (17% of total access sites)

25. Primary technical success rate defined as the ability to achieve hemostasis without additional ProGlide™ device deployment or surgical repair.
26. Secondary technical success rate defined as the ability to achieve hemostasis after deployment of one or two ProGlide™ devices without surgical repair.

Key Takeaways
Fast-Track is less costly than standard EVAR with hospital and ICU stay as the main cost drivers
Patient selection is critical to success as femoral arteries should be free of heavy calcification or extreme tortuosity to facilitate bilateral percutaneous access

The Use of the Perclose ProGlide™ Suture-Mediated Closure (SMC) Device for Venous Access Site
Safety and performance of Perclose ProGlide™ vascular closure device in managing large-hole venous access site
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of ProGlide™ in the closure of the venous access site in subjects treated with a large-caliber femoral vein sheath (24F).
Time management, patient and staff flow, hospital costs, and throughput can all impact overall hospital efficiency. Access site management, early ambulation and discharge with Perclose ProGlide™ Suture-Mediated Closure System can help reduce patient length of stay, optimize nursing time, improve patient flow, and drive overall hospital efficiency.
Early Ambulation and Same-Day Discharge for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Cases
Dr. Sumit Verma from Baptist Heart and Vascular Institute discusses how the facility implemented same-day discharge for atrial fibrillation ablation cases and how the strategy has the potential to reduce complications, decrease resource utilization, and allow cost savings, while improving patient satisfaction.
