Closure devices are used in both the inpatient and outpatient setting to reduce risk of bleeding and expedite the recovery process after endovascular interventions. This article discusses the CELT closure device, its risks and benefits, as well as complication management.

Introduced in 2018, the CELT closure device offers improved predictability and fewer complications, especially in challenging cases like antegrade superficial femoral artery (SFA) interventions, according to Dr. Omar Saleh and Dr. Syed Hussain.

Dr. Juan Gimenez and Dr. Tyler Sandow explain how they built their hepatocellular carcinoma practice, the finer points of their patient workflows, and how they make treatment decisions favoring a high volume of Y90 radioembolization.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) treatment continues to challenge interventionalists. How do you approach the DVT patient with concomitant PE? How do you best determine if the thrombus is acute or chronic? And how do you safely treat challenging deep vein anatomies? Find the answers in this article, featuring the hands-on experience of Dr. Adam Raskin.

Dr. Eric Secemsky shares his decision making rules when choosing which device(s) to use in specific peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment scenarios.

Endovascular specialists should understand which situations lead to technical and clinical success when deploying drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons. Get updated on the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting vascular technologies with insights from Dr. Eric Secemsky.

Laser atherectomy plays an important role in peripheral artery disease treatment. Recent clinical data, including the Pathfinder study, highlight the safety profile and sustained patency rates achieved with novel solid-state laser atherectomy devices, while practical guidance emphasizes maintaining an intraluminal position and optimizing laser settings to enhance procedural outcomes.

Atherectomy has become a pivotal technique utilized in the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), offering a versatile approach to plaque removal and vessel preparation. By using a range of devices tailored to specific lesion characteristics, atherectomy can improve the outcomes of subsequent treatments like balloon angioplasty and stenting.
