Abstract
We report a case of a 77-year-old male with pancreatic cancer and thrombocytopenia who presented with acute stroke symptoms and underwent successful endovascular thrombectomy. During femoral artery closure, an 8-F Angio-Seal device fractured, leaving catheter fragments in the right femoral artery, confirmed on imaging. Device analysis revealed oxidation-induced brittleness, leading to sheath fragmentation. This case highlights a rare complication of Angio-Seal devices, suggesting potential material vulnerabilities that warrant further investigation.
