MynxGrip use was predicated by an adequate depth of subcutaneous tissue and common femoral artery (CFA) diameter. Patients remained on supine bedrest for 2 hours after diagnostic procedures and for 3 hours after therapeutic procedures. Patient demographics, procedural details, hemostasis status, and complications were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over 36 months, 83 MynxGrip devices were deployed in 53 patients (23 male and 30 female patients; mean age 14 years) who underwent neuroendovascular procedures. The right-side CFA was the main point of access for most procedures. The mean CFA diameter was 6.24 mm and ranged from 4 mm to 8.5 mm. Diagnostic angiography comprised 46% of the procedures. A single device failure occurred without any sequelae; the device was extracted, and hemostasis was achieved by manual compression with the placement of a Safeguard compression device. No other immediate or delayed major complications were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>MynxGrip can be used safely in the pediatric population for effective hemostasis and has the advantage of earlier mobilization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2017.11.peds17481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,2]],"date-time":"2018-03-02T15:11:52Z","timestamp":1520003512000},"page":"466-470","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["MynxGrip vascular closure device use in pediatric neurointerventional procedures"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Tahaamin","family":"Shokuhfar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael C.","family":"Hurley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"},{"name":"Neurology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anas","family":"Al-Smadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sameer A.","family":"Ansari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"},{"name":"Neurology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew B.","family":"Potts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"},{"name":"Neurological Surgery, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Babak S.","family":"Jahromi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"},{"name":"Neurological Surgery, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tord D.","family":"Alden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurological Surgery, and"},{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Shaibani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology,"},{"name":"Neurological Surgery, and"},{"name":"Medical Imaging, Ann and Robert H.
