CA 2492702

Apparatus is provided for sealing a puncture in a blood vessel using at least one device that applies an internal compressive force upon a distal surface of the vessel. The devices preferably are deployable distal of the distal surface of the vessel, then retracted proximally to provide the internal compressive force, e.g., to promote coagulation and facilitate sealing of the puncture. Additionally, the devices of the present invention optionally may be used in combination with known techniques that provide an external compressive force upon an exterior surface of a patient's skin to expedite sealing of the puncture.

La présente invention concerne un appareil destiné à fermer une perforation dans un vaisseau sanguin au moyen d'au moins un dispositif qui applique une force de compression interne sur une surface distale du vaisseau. Les dispositifs peuvent de préférence être déployés distaux par rapport à la surface distale du vaisseau, et être alors rétractés proximaux par rapport à cette dernière afin de fournir la force de compression interne, par exemple pour favoriser la coagulation et faciliter la fermeture de la perforation. En outre, les dispositifs de l'invention peuvent facultativement être utilisés en combinaison avec des procédés connus selon lesquels on applique une force de compression externe sur une surface extérieure de la peau d'un patient afin d'accélérer la fermeture de la perforation.
