The Use of Angio-Seal Vascular Closure Device after Coronary Intervention

Objective We compared the use of manual compression(MC) and Angio-Seal Vascular closure devices(VCD) to achieve hemostasis following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(PCI) in order to evaluate safety and efficacy.Methods A total of 186 patients were divided into 2 groups randomly,one group including 93 patients received manual compression,while the other group received Angio-Seal closure devices.The time to hemostasis,the time to ambulation and the incidence of local complications were assessed.Results Immediate hemostasis was successfully achieved in 90 patients(96.7%) of VCD group,but has no difference in hemostasis rate between two groups(96.7 vs 92.4%).Compared with MC,The time to hemostasis,the time to ambulation and the incidence of local complications were notably decreased〔(1.2±0.5) vs(20.4±2.1)min,(4.2±0.5) vs(23.4±2.1)h,(1.07 vs 8.60%),P0.05〕.Conclusion After Coronary Intervention,the use of Angio-Seal closure devices was safe and effective,which resulted in rapid hemostasis and early ambulation with low incidence of local vascular complications.
