  • Publication number: 20230346361
    Abstract: Multiple vascular wall penetrations are formed and sealed in a single blood vessel, typically a vein, for performing cardiac and other catheter-based procedures. Access sheaths are placed in two or more tissue tracts each having a vascular wall penetration at a distal end and into a lumen of the blood vessel. A catheter is advanced though each of the access sheaths to perform a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. A vascular closure device is introduced through each access sheath, typically sequentially, and an occlusion element at a distal end of the device is deployed against an inner wall of the blood vessel in a manner so that the adjacent access sheath does not interfere or overlap with the deployed occlusion element. The vascular penetration at the distal end in that tissue tract may then be sealed prior to using another vascular closure device to seal a caudally adjacent vascular wall penetration.
