Vascular closure devices have become popular for rapid hemostasis and early ambulation. However, there are a few reports of complications. We presented a case with acute limb ischemia caused by the protrusion of the EXOSEAL plug into the vessel. Intravascular ultrasound imaging helped determine the plug that caused the occlusion.
