Percutaneous Plug-based Arteriotomy Closure Device Use in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Percutaneous Plug-based Arteriotomy Closure Device Use in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

A single-center prospective study. Patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery between 2017 and 2022 at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden are eligible. Femoral cannulation was performed percutaneously with planned percutaneous arteriotomy closed using a plug-based arteriotomy closure device (MANTA; Teleflex/Essential Medical, Malvern, PA). Data regarding preoperative clinical characteristics and operative details were obtained by medical records review.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Operated with minimally invasive cardiac surgery between 2017 and 2022 at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, with use of percutaneous femoral cannulation with planned percutaneous arteriotomy closed using a plug-based arteriotomy closure device.

Exclusion Criteria:

• None.
