Core Tip

Core Tip: Endovascular procedures, including percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair, usually involve vascular access through the common femoral artery. Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are being increasingly used to achieve hemostasis. When continuous oozing is observed after the application of the VCD, Surgicel can be applied to the arterial surface along the VCD suture thread using a pusher. Surgicel is a simple and cost-effective hemostatic adjunct.
