Intravascular ultrasound findings of the protrusion of the EXOSEAL plug that caused acute limb ischemia.

ABSTRACT

Vascular closure devices have become popular for rapid hemostasis and early ambulation. However, there are a few reports of complications. We presented a case with acute limb ischemia caused by the protrusion of the EXOSEAL plug into the vessel. Intravascular ultrasound imaging helped determine the plug that caused the occlusion.
