ABSTRACT

Wound closure issues are not as common in the field of interventional radiology when compared with other surgical fields, such as plastic surgery or dermatology. A common exception to this rule involves the placement and removal of chest wall vascular ports. This article reviews newer wound closure devices such as skin adhesives and closure film.
