Evaluation of the clinical application and curative effect of femoral arterial closure devices / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Along with the advances in interventional therapy, compression methods for arterial closure require prolonged compression or long arterial sheath dwelling period, which in turn would increase the procedural time, complication rates, and patients' discomfort. Under this circumstance, a variety of percutaneous arterial closure devices was invented offering rapid and reliable hemostasis but there are still some controversies concerning, whether it can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications or not. This paper reviewed and comprehended many researches and literatures to assess the efficacy and complication rates of device-mediated closure versus the gold standard of manual compression.
