Video Summary

Dr. Sandeep Saha, a cardiac electrophysiologist, discusses a technique for achieving vascular hemostasis after complex procedures requiring large-bore transfemoral venous access. The technique involves using a figure of 8 suture, lidocaine injections, and a stopcock to secure the site. Dr. Saha demonstrates the step-by-step process, including the deployment of the suture, removing the sheath, and releasing the tension on the suture for removal. He encourages viewers to try this technique for their own procedures and shares his interest in hearing about their experiences.
