Claim 11:
12. A vascular closure assembly, comprising:
an actuator assembly including:
a chassis portion having an outer shell with an interior volume disposed within the outer shell,
an elongate housing with a proximal end secured to a distal end of the chassis portion, a distal end extending away from the chassis portion, an inner lumen extending along the elongate housing to the distal end of the elongate housing, a distal section, and a plurality of anchor deployer lumens, each anchor deployer lumen extending axially along the elongate housing and terminating distally at a distal port disposed in the distal section of the elongate housing, and
a plurality of anchor deployers, each anchor deployer being slidably disposed within a respective deployer lumen of the elongate housing and including a distal end which is configured to extend and spread from the distal section of the outer housing, each anchor deployer comprising:
a deployment rod which includes an elongate resilient configuration with an axial length greater than a transverse dimension and a distal end that extends from the distal section of the elongate housing upon distal axial deployment, and
an anchor which is removably secured to the distal end of the deployment rod, and which is configured to resist proximal retraction within tissue; and

an inner catheter assembly including:
an elongate shaft including a proximal end, a distal end, a distal section, an axial length that is sufficient for the distal section to extend distally beyond the distal end of the elongate housing when disposed in the inner lumen thereof, and an outer surface contour which is configured to be slidably disposed within the inner lumen of the elongate housing, and
an inflatable balloon disposed on the distal section of the elongate shaft in an axial position that can extend distally from the distal end of the elongate housing when the elongate shaft is disposed within the inner lumen of the elongate housing, the inflatable balloon including an interior volume in communication with a balloon inflation lumen.
