Could it be that 'ansatzlos" refers to the fact that there is no block attached to the walls of the artery - such as plaque - but rather something unattached - such as a blot clot?

seamlessly
AFS = Arteria femoralis superficialis
I need to read the whole paragraph to be 100% sure, but I think it's saying that the artery AFS was blocked seamlessly (without much effort).

: "Ansatzloser Verschluss" is the condition (occlusion), not the treatment. See https://docplayer.org/53910906-Neue-ballonkathetertechnik-er... (p. 2, bottom right).

Possibly, but there is no indication from the given context as to whether this is a treatment or a condition.

effortless
as in effortless occlusion - it also can mean smooth, as in there are no marks after the occlusion or that it was a seamless process but in this context I think effortless encompasses those synonyms.

'Vascular Closure Devices
Percutaneous vascular closure devices (PVCDs) have been used for hemostasis of a femoral artery puncture site after catheterization since the 1990s. The advantages of their use, compared with the traditional methods of securing hemostasis by manual or mechanical compression, are that they increase patient comfort and decrease time to hemostasis and ambulation.
PVCDs can be broadly categorized in two types: those that use various mechanisms of collagen or other substance deposition at an arterial puncture site and others that use a suture to close the arteriotomy site.'
