Early clinical experience with the 6 French Angio-Seal device: immediate closure of femoral puncture sites after diagnostic and interventional coronary procedures.
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions 2001 August
The objective of this study was to assess the early safety and efficacy of the novel 6 Fr Angio-Seal device for routine clinical use after diagnostic cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty. In a prospective study, we used the 6 Fr Angio-Seal device in 180 consecutive patients (131 male, 49 female, mean age 60.7 years) for closure of femoral arterial puncture sites immediately after diagnostic (n = 108) or interventional (n = 72) coronary procedures independent of the coagulation status. All patients were monitored for 24 hr after the procedure and followed for 30 days. The closure device was successfully deployed in 95.4% after diagnostic catheterization versus 98.6% after coronary angioplasty (P = 0.963). Immediate hemostasis was achieved in 91.5% versus 90.1% of the patients (P = 0.993). Major complications were observed 1.9% versus 2.8% of the patients (P = 0.885). During 30-day follow-up, no late events or complications were reported. The 6 Fr Angio-Seal device is a safe and effective device that allows for immediate closure of femoral puncture sites after both diagnostic and interventional procedures with a low rate of major complications.
