Fig The proximal portion of the arterial cannula by Seldinger needle (yellow arrow) was directly punctured (A). A 0.035-inch coated guidewire (Curved Terumo Wire; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) (yellow arrows) was placed through the arterial cannula (B). The arterial cannula (yellow arrow) was pulled back and removed as guidewire was left in place (C). The first ProGlide device was inserted through the guidewire, and suturing was performed (yellow arrow) (D). The guidewire was reinserted through the hole of the first ProGlide to insert a second ProGlide device for suturing again.
