Prospective Nonrandomized Trial of Manual Compression and Angio-Seal and StarClose Arterial Closure Devices in Common Femoral Punctures

Safety and Efficacy of the StarClose Vascular Closure System Using 7-F and 8-F Sheath Sizes:A Consecutive Single-Center Analysis

“…These data compare well to the available data for the same device in a 6-F puncture, where the success rates ranged from 87% to 94% and the procedural success from 97% to 100%. 2,3,17–24 Further, the rates of device success were similar for the 2 sheath sizes(91% and 90% in the 7-F and 8-F groups, respectively), comparable with the 87% rate from the CLIP study. 2…”

Pituitrin use is associated with an increased risk of inguinal hematomas and pseudoaneurysms in patients undergoing femoral artery puncture

“…Another study showed that patients could be physically active earlier in the postoperative period when the Angio-Seal was used. 18 In contrast, Chaturvedi 19 reported that complications were more severe when VCDs were used. Lee et al 3 also commented on the controversy regarding VCDs versus MC.…”

Safety and efficacy of percutaneous femoral artery access followed by Mynx closure in cerebral neurovascular procedures: a single center analysis

“…As noted by Chaturvedi, while the reported rate of complications associated with VCD use may be low, the increased severity of these complications, relative to what is seen in patients who undergo manual compression, appropriately merits thorough consideration prior to their employment in patients with high risk features 34. This is especially important as the number of patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional neuroendovascular procedures continues to increase, a phenomenon which is corroborated by recently published data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, representing a random sample of about 20% of all patients at non-federal hospitals (figure 2).…”
