While the common femoral artery is a well established access site, alternative arterial access sites capable of larger sheath sizes are needed in the modern endovascular era. This article provides the largest synthesis to date on the use of vascular closure devices for percutaneous axillary artery access in endovascular intervention. It should serve clinicians with added confidence around this approach in terms of providing a reference for technical success and complications. Clinically, this data is relevant for patient consent purposes as well as for practice quality improvement in setting safety standards for this access site.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15266028221147451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]],"date-time":"2023-01-10T05:22:11Z","timestamp":1673328131000},"page":"763-771","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Vascular Closure Devices For Axillary Artery Access: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3914-4373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alex","family":"Koziarz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sean A.","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ghassan","family":"Awad El-Karim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3468-1313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kong T.","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George D.","family":"Oreopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjog","family":"Kalra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, Toronto General Hospital, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian D.","family":"Etz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac Surgery, Heart Center, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dheeraj K.","family":"Rajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Mafeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.RVI.0000071086.76348.8E"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2022.03.031"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"3610705","article-title":"CT angiography analysis of axillary artery diameter versus common femoral artery diameter: implications for axillary approach for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with hostile aortoiliac segment and advanced lung disease","volume":"2016","author":"Tayal R","year":"2016","unstructured":"Tayal R, Iftikhar H, LeSar B, et al.
