Although the Angio-Seal arterial closure device is widely used for preventing bleeding and facilitating early ambulation after arterial puncture, it is also associated with unique complications, such as stenosis, occlusion, or peripheral embolism. We report the first case of a foot ulcer that developed 70 days after an Angio-Seal application. The collagen sponge component accidently positioned itself in the arterial lumen and was not absorbed. A foreign body reaction was observed microscopically. In patients with arteriosclerosis, the Angio-Seal device should be used carefully; post procedural monitoring is necessary after implantation.
