Figure 2 Surgical-assisted hemostasis technique. A: After the successful deployment of the 2 ProGlide, substantial oozing was observed at the access site; B: Small piece of rolled Surgicel was sutured over the ProGlide suture thread through the empty needle; C: The attached Surgicel was placed at the access-site opening; D: The Surgicel was inserted onto the arterial wall along the suture thread with the pusher, E: Mild compression was applied with the pusher; F: Complete hemostasis was achieved.
