A variety of vascular closure devices (VCD) are widely used worlwide with very low access-site related complication rates and favorable patient related consequences even in endovascular procedures in which large-bore sheaths are required. The suture-mediated Prostar XL® VCD is stated to be eligible for up to 26Fr sheaths' puncture sites. The main criticized point of Prostar XL® is the complexity of the deployment steps with resultant experience of the interventionist, which is pointed to be the major cause of adverse events. The aim of this report is to warn the interventionists to take into account of this rare complication. Copyright © 2012 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
