ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for quickly and effectively sealing an arteriotomy site in a patient. In particular, the invention provides an apparatus and a method for sealing an arteriotomy site which can be performed by a single operator. The arteriotomy can be sealed by delivery of a suitable sealant such as a patient specific autologous fibrin glue to a debrided, synthesized area adjacent to the extravascular opening of the arteriotomy. Alternatively, synthetically produced fibrin glue or other sealants can be utilized in a method of sealing an arteriotomy site.
