The article discusses the safety and efficacy of the Angioseal vascular closure device in achieving hemostasis post-antegrade or retrograde puncture for diagnostic and percutaneous interventional procedures. The study retrospectively reviewed 147 patients who underwent diagnostic angiography or percutaneous intervention with puncture of the common femoral artery (CFA) between January 2008 and October 2009. The results show an overall efficacy rate of over 97% in both diagnostic and interventional subgroups, with a minor complication rate of 3.73%. The major complication rate was 0.75%, with only one major complication reported. The study concludes that in their experience, the Angioseal vascular closure device is a safe and efficient means of achieving hemostasis post-antegrade or retrograde puncture for diagnostic and percutaneous interventional procedures.
The article provides an overview of the Angioseal device and its components, including the absorbable polymer anchor, collagen sponge, and self-tightening suture. It also discusses the procedure for deploying the device and achieving hemostasis.
