Identificación de una deleción en Stxbp2 causante del tipo de linfohistiocitosis hemofagocítica familiar

Sehrish Memon, Timothy C y Ball

Vascular closure devices are frequently used for hemostasis during endovascular procedures by employing sutures, plug devices (using collagen or hydrogel) or through the use of a metal clip made of nickel and titanium as with the StarClose device. We present a case where a StarClose SE vascular closure device (VCD) was deployed for hemostasis post diagnostic cardiac catheterization and upon repeat access, four days later for coronary intervention, retrograde sheath angiography revealed a pseudo-aneurysm emanating from the center of the StarClose clip. Review of literature indicates StarClose to be safe and effective in achieving hemostasis in majority of endovascular procedures and the incidence of pseudo-aneurysm to be infrequent.
