Abstract

Vascular closure devices (VCD) are effective at achieving hemostasis. VCD failure is attributed to underlying arterial disease, leading to a hazardous situation for obtaining contralateral femoral access. Radial-to-peripheral (R2P) access has emerged as a safe option to rescue these procedural complications. Here, we present two cases of VCD failure rescue utilizing R2P and outline this approach step-by-step.

Keywords: complication; percutaneous coronary intervention; peripheral vascular disease.
