Characteristics Predictive of Success and Complications in the Use of Suture-Mediated Closure of Femoral Venous Access

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Cardiac Catheterization

In brief

Suture-mediated closure devices are effective and safe for achieving rapid hemostasis in femoral venous access site and reducing the incidence of complications associated with traditional closure methods. Furthermore, there are predictive factors(such as sheath size, obesity, procedure duration, and anticoagulation status)that we can use to assess the procedure's likelihood of success in various patients.
