I'm here because I'm doing TAVI as my thesis and wanted to understand more about Perclose ... gotta admit I've never watched a video I fanboyed that much because it was done with so much dedication to the cause ("with a violin move"...) Lovit - thanks a lot!
I had the Perclose Prostyle closure system used for my recent catheterization and let me tell you IT HURT LIKE HELL! I'm having a 2nd catheterization with stent placement in two weeks and I'm NOT looking forward to having the Perclose Prostyle used on me again! I couldn't talk my cardiologist into using a different (less painful) closure system because in his opinion "the Perclose does such a great job at closing the femoral artery". Why does this closure system have to hurt so darn much when it's used? 😢
nobody is telling that you need a very good preparation of the access site by enlarging the puncture hole with a hemostat to widen the skin first. Without this step you can't advance the tamper. Please beware, i have failed deploying few of these because of that. Another problem that i encountered with this dervice is that the wires keep snapping and i don't know why...
Garbage, maybe on 30 year old pacients with healthy vessels, i tryed 2 devices on a 7Fr puncture in the common femoral artery and it was still bleeding
Agree. If the hole is small, a slight enlargement with a hemostat can help advance your equipment. If your sutures are snapping, it might relate to the degree of tension applied.
this is even better than abbott's demonstration! great job
