Intraoperative Complication

Plug-based (Manta, Teleflex) vs. suture-based (ProGlide, Abbott Vascular) vascular closure systems for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

In an advisory letter, the FDA reminded clinicians of the risk for major complications should cardiac perforation occur during leadless pacemaker implantation and highlighted the importance of reporting adverse events and complications.

In a trial of vascular closure systems in patients who had transcatheter aortic valve replacement, a plug-based system was associated with more vascular complications but shorter time to hemostasis compared with a suture-based system.
