Abstract
Devices and methods for closing access points in tissue are described. The devices include a tubular element fabricated form, for example, biologic material, a biologic tubular structure, or synthetic material. Using minimally invasive procedures, the devices and methods described herein allow implantation of the tubular element through the access point or wound such that it traverses the tissue. The tube has a sealed end which prevents leakage of fluid from, for example, the heart or a vessel upon securing the tube to the tissue.
