    Abstract:
    Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in percutaneous treatment of structural heart diseases. Many of these interventions require insertion of large caliber sheaths in the femoral veins. Manual compression, compression devices, and various closure devices have been used for removal of large-sized venous sheaths. Here, we describe the use of a temporary subcutaneous "Figure-of-Eight" suture technique for venous access site closure after removal of large-caliber sheaths.
