Purpose To evaluate the midterm outcomes and potential risk factors associated with the fascia suture technique (FST) for closure of femoral artery access sites after percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Methods Between April 2007 and April 2008, 100 consecutive EVAR cases were evaluate...
