2 1 With the percutaneous technique, bleeding sometimes occurs from needle holes or from gaps between sutures. Minor bleeding can generally be stopped by using a knot pusher to ensure approximation of the knot to the arterial wall. If primary hemostasis cannot be obtained, a PTFE felt pledget can be used as a patch and sewn with the sutures of the Prostar device. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , 78-82DOI: ( /S (02) )
