ABSTRACT:
A method and device for sealing an opening in an anatomical structure within a living body involves the introduction of a length of suture around the opening using a stitching device or known suturing techniques. The stitching device may be an elongated member having needle channels therethrough. After the stitching device is partially inserted in the anatomical structure, needles connected by a length of suture are pulled through the anatomical structure at opposite sides of the opening. The sealing device may be an elongated member with an adhesive channel and either a suture channel or a loop. After the suture has been separated from the stitching device, the ends of the suture are passed through the suture channel or loop. The suture is then pulled through the suture channel or loop to close the opening. After the opening has been closed, adhesive is passed through the adhesive channel and applied to the opening to seal the opening.
