Femoral vein occlusion after VASCADE MVP resolved without surgery: a case report
This is the first reported case of venous occlusion likely caused by residual collagen from a collagen-based venous closure device. Balloon angioplasty restored partial blood flow, and surgical intervention was avoided due to the identification of collagen-induced reversible mechanical obstruction. When using VASCADE MVP, operators should be mindful to avoid intravascular deployment of collagen by ensuring proper technique.
