Percutaneous femoral cannulation and decannulation using a plug-based vascular closure device in minimally invasive cardiac surgery

• Minimally invasive cardiac surgery such as a mitral valve procedure requires femoral arterial cannulation for extracorporeal circulation. To avoid complications associated with surgical groin incisions, such as seromas and infections, percutaneous cannulation techniques can be used. This video tutorial illustrates percutaneous femoral cannulation and decannulation using a plug-based vascular closure device.
