With Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System, immediate and durable hemostasis is achieved while under your care, allowing you to ambulate the patient sooner so they can be up and walking to the bathroom or to their car to be driven home the same day.
Continue reading below to learn more about how Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System can lead to a swifter recovery and more satisfied patients.
The electrophysiologists (EPs) performing atrial fibrillation ablations may choose the Perclose ProGlide™ Suture-Mediated Closure (SMC) System for greater efficiency in the EP lab. Among vascular closure devices, Perclose ProGlide™ closure can offer benefits for the EP lab including:
The Perclose ProGlide™ vascular closure device has the broadest indication* for venous and arterial sheaths. In addition, this VCD also has a proven and trusted track record from more than 10 million repairs over the last 25 years.3
Prior to adopting Perclose ProGlide™ SMC system closure, EPs completing an atrial fibrillation ablation or other procedures may find that patients require:
The Perclose ProGlide™ closure device transforms an otherwise lengthy patient recovery to a much shorter recovery time, which in turn leads to a positive patient experience:
†Time to Ambulation: Per the IFU, patients may be ambulated 2 hours after the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System procedures using 5-8F sheaths. For sheaths > 8F, ambulation time is at the physician’s discretion.
The rapid time to hemostasis allows EPs to verify the status of the closure while the patient is still under their care, enhancing confidence in the entire procedure from access to closure. Moreover, it’s potentially beneficial to the EP lab and hospital staff when patients are quickly ambulating, freeing up beds, and discharged the same day.
Sumit Verma, MD, an electrophysiologist from Baptist Heart and Vascular Institute, describes how that center altered its atrial fibrillation ablation protocol by implementing same-day discharge. He discusses how this strategy has the potential to reduce the complication rates, minimize resource use, and enable cost savings—all while enhancing patient satisfaction.13

The Perclose ProGlide™ closure device achieves rapid hemostasis of femoral access sites by approximating the edges of the vessel wall with a surgical suture. The benefits of suture-mediated repair include promoting primary intention healing with less scarring14 and decreased time to hemostasis, ambulation, and patient discharge.15,16
This brief video illustrates multiple device deployment of the Perclose ProGlide™ device in an EP ablation procedure.
Using a VCD has several advantages given the following factors during EP procedures such as AF ablations:
All of these issues are mitigated when using the Perclose ProGlide™ closure device.
With the Perclose ProGlide™ device you can achieve and confirm complete hemostasis on the table with a suture-mediated repair of the access site. Other advantages of the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System include:

Perclose ProGlide™ Suture-Mediated Closure (SMC) SystemThe Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System is indicated for the percutaneous delivery of suture for closing the common femoral artery and vein access site of patients who have undergone diagnostic or interventional catheterization procedures.
The Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System is used without or, if required, with adjunctive manual compression.
For access sites in the common femoral artery using 5F to 21F sheaths.
For access sites in the common femoral vein using 5F to 24F sheaths.
For arterial and venous sheath sizes greater than 8F, at least two devices and the pre-close technique are required.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician (or allied healthcare professionals, authorized by, or under the direction of, such physicians) who is trained in diagnostic and / or interventional catheterization procedures and who has been trained by an authorized representative of Abbott Vascular.
Prior to use, the operator must review the Instructions for Use and be familiar with the deployment techniques associated with the use of this device.
During closure of access sites using a procedural sheath greater than 8F it is recommended that a vascular surgeon or a surgeon with vascular training be available in case surgical conversion to control bleeding and to close the vessel is needed.
There are no known contraindications to the use of this device. Attention is drawn to the WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS sections.
Do not use the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device or accessories if the packaging or sterile barrier has been previously opened or damaged or if the components appear to be damaged or defective.
DO NOT RESTERILIZE OR REUSE. The Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device and accessories are intended for single use only.
Do not use the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System if the sterile field has been broken where bacterial contamination of the sheath or surrounding tissues may have occurred, since such a broken sterile field may result in infection.
Do not use the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System if the puncture site is located above the most inferior border of the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) and / or above the inguinal ligament based upon bony landmarks, since such a puncture site may result in a retroperitoneal hematoma. Perform a femoral angiogram to verify the location of the puncture site. NOTE: This may require both a Right Anterior Oblique (RAO) and Left Anterior Oblique (LAO) angiogram to adequately visualize where the sheath enters the femoral artery or vein.
Do not use the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System if the puncture is through the posterior wall or if there are multiple punctures, since such punctures may result in a hematoma or retroperitoneal bleed.
Do not use the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System if the puncture site is located in the superficial femoral artery or the profunda femoris artery, or the bifurcation of these vessels, since such puncture sites may result in a pseudoaneurysm, intimal dissection, or an acute vessel closure (thrombosis of small artery lumen). Perform a femoral angiogram to verify the location of the puncture site. NOTE: This may require both a Right Anterior Oblique (RAO) and Left Anterior Oblique (LAO) angiogram to adequately visualize where the sheath enters the femoral artery or vein.
1. Prior to use, inspect the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System to ensure that the sterile packaging has not been damaged during shipment. Examine all components prior to use to verify proper function. Exercise care during device handling to reduce the possibility of accidental device breakage.
2. As with all catheter-based procedures, infection is a possibility. Observe sterile technique at all times when using the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System. Employ appropriate groin management, as per hospital protocol, post procedure and post hospital discharge to prevent infection.
3. Use a single wall puncture technique. Do not puncture the posterior wall of the vessel.
4. Do not deploy the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device at an angle greater than 45 degrees, as this may cause a cuff miss.
5. There are no reaccess restrictions if previous access site repairs were achieved with Abbott Vascular SMC devices.
6. If significant blood flow is present around the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device, do not deploy needles. Remove the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device over a 0.038" (0.97mm) (or smaller) guidewire and insert an appropriately sized introducer sheath.
7. When pushing the plunger assembly to advance the needles, stabilize the device to ensure the device does not twist or move forward during deployment. Twisting the device could lead to needle deflection resulting in a cuff miss. Do not use excessive force or repeatedly push the plunger assembly. Excessive force on the plunger during deployment could potentially cause breakage of the device, which may necessitate intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.
8. Do not apply excessive force to the lever when returning the foot to its original position (marked #4) down to the body of the device. Do not attempt to remove the device without closing the lever. Excessive force on the lever of the device or attempting to remove the device without closing the lever could cause breakage of the device and / or lead to vessel trauma, which may necessitate intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.
9. Do not advance or withdraw the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device against resistance until the cause of that resistance has been determined (see Section 11.3 Single SMC DEVICE PLACEMENT section). Excessive force used to advance or torque the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device should be avoided, as this may lead to significant vessel damage and / or breakage of the device, which may necessitate intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.
10. If excessive resistance in advancing the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device is encountered, withdraw the device over a 0.038" (0.97 mm) (or smaller) guidewire and reinsert the introducer sheath or use manual compression.
11. Remove the Perclose ProGlide™ sheath before tightening the suture. Failure to remove the sheath prior to tightening the suture may result in detachment of the tip of the sheath.
13. During closure of access sites using a 5 – 8F procedural sheath, use manual compression in the event that bleeding from the femoral access site persists after the use of the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC device.
14. During closure of access sites using a procedural sheath > 8F, in the event that bleeding from the femoral access site persists after the use of the Perclose ProGlide™ SMC devices, the physician should assess the situation. Based on the physician assessment of the amount of bleeding use manual compression, compression assisted devices and / or a surgical repair to obtain hemostasis.
15. During closure of access sites using a procedural sheath > 8F, in those cases where the implanting physician is not a vascular surgeon, it is recommended that a vascular surgeon or a surgeon with vascular training be available during the procedure to perform any necessary surgical intervention.
Potential adverse events associated with use of suture mediated closure devices may include, but are not limited to, the following:
