Core Tip

Core Tip: Clinical reports on the complications of vascular injury caused by vascular closure devices are rare. Here, we report a case of severe acute limb ischemia after using a vascular closure device (StarClose). The case suggests that use of the vascular closure device was the main cause of severe acute limb ischemia in this case. The vascular closure device should be operated carefully.
