RESUMO
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of two kinds of arterial suture-mediated closure devices (Angioseal and Perclose) in patients after coronary arteriography(CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods 1?020 patients (672 male, 348 female, mean age 57.8?2.4 yr) undergoing CAG or PCI were randomized into either the Angioseal group (CAG 380, PCI 120) or the Perclose group (CAG 392, PCI 128). The procedural success rate and occurance of local complications were compared between the two groups. Results Both kinds of devices had a high success rate (Angioseal 94% vs Perclose 96%) and there was no statistical difference between them. There were five cases of hematoma and no pseudoaneurysm in the Angioseal group. On the other hand, there were four cases of hematoma and three cases of pseudoaneurysm in preclose group. There was no statistal difference in terms of local complications between the 2 groups. Conclusion Both kinds of arterial suture-mediated closure devices (Angioseal and Perclose) are feasible and safe for patients undergoing CAG and PCI.
