Core Tip	This is a retrospective pilot study to report the first clinical results obtained using a novel bailout hemostasis technique for patients with double suture-based vascular closure device failure in the setting of trans-femoral transcatheter-aortic-valve-replacement. The “pledget-assisted hemostasis” technique consists of the insertion of a surgical, non-absorbable, polytetrafluoroethylene pledget over the sutures of two ProGlide (Abbott Vascular, CA, United States). The ProGlide’s knot-pushers are used to push down the pledget and the hand-made slipknot to seal the femoral artery leak. This technique was used as a bailout strategy in patients undergoing trans-femoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement with systematic double preclosure technique.
