The present invention provides an apparatus (10) and a method for quickly and effectively sealing an arteriotomy site in a patient. In particular, the invention provides an apparatus and method for sealing an arteriotomy site which can be performed by a single operator. The arteriotomy can be sealed by delivery of a suitable sealant (36) such as a patient specific autologous fibrin glue to a debrided, synthesized area (35) adjacent to the extravascular opening (4) of the arteriotomy. Alternatively, synthetically produced fibrin glue or other sealants can be utilized in a method of sealing an arteriotomy site.

La présente invention décrit un appareil (10) et un procédé permettant d'obturer rapidement et efficacement chez un patient le site où a été pratiquée une artériotomie. L'invention fournit en particulier un appareil et un procédé grâce auxquels un seul opérateur peut obturer un site d'artériotomie. Cette obturation peut-être effectuée par l'application d'une matière obturante (36) telle qu'une colle de fibrine autologue appropriée au patient concerné, sur une zone synthétisée et débridée (35), adjacente à l'ouverture extravasculaire (4) de l'artériotomie. Selon une variante un autre procédé possible d'obturation d'un site d'artériotomie consiste à utiliser une colle de fibrine produite synthétiquement, ou d'autres matières obturantes.
