    Successful use of the Cardiva BoomerangTM vascular closure device to close a brachial artery puncture site after emergency PTCA.

    Brachial artery access is a good alternative for performing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty when femoral access is contraindicated or not feasible. Although several closure devices are available for femoral access, haemostasis for brachial artery access is still achieved by manual compression with several potential complications, such as bleeding, pseudo-aneurysm formation, especially in patients in which heparin is administered, or thrombotic vessel occlusion. This first-in-human report describes the off-label brachial use of the Cardiva BoomerangTM, a novel vascular closure device, which provides haemostasis using a temporary intravascular tampon, thus permitting the easier physiological closure of the puncture site without any important complications
