Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are widely used for arteriotomy closure after percutaneous catheter-based procedures. In comparison to manual compression, VCDs have been associated with shorter time to hemostasis, shorter time to ambulation, and also decreased length of stay. Complexity of deployment, lack of immediate hemostasis, and residual deformity of the arterial wall remain as limitations of current VCDs. The aim of this study was to investigate the AbsorbaSeal™ 5.6.7F vascular closure device, a novel, completely bioabsorbable, intuitive, and easy to use VCD which uses a compressive, "sandwich"-type design comprising a low profile intravascular distal seal and gasket and an extravascular floating foot and proximal seal, in an open infrarenal aortic swine model. METHODS Eight fully heparinized swine at a good laboratory practices facility underwent AbsorbaSeal™ 5.6.7F VCD closure of three 6F arteriotomies each in the proximal, mid, and distal infrarenal aorta. Two swine underwent harvest at each of four time cohorts: 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. Acute and chronic procedural safety and efficacy, as well as target site vascular remodeling over time, were the primary outcomes evaluated. Secondary outcome measures included local and systemic inflammatory responses, end-organ tissue analysis, and device-related complications through the follow-up periods. Histopathological evaluation was performed by a blinded pathologist. Standard statistical methods were used. RESULTS In deployment of 24 AbsorbaSeal™ 5.6.7F VCDs, there were no device-related complications or mortalities. All deployments resulted in rapid arteriotomy seal (100% deployment success), with a mean time to hemostasis (cessation of arterial flow) of 21.5 s (median: 6.5 s) across a mean activated clotting time (ACT) of 356 s. Twenty of the 24 implant sites (83%) attained complete hemostasis within 20 s. Immediate post-implant and pre-termination angiographies at all time points were performed of all swine which demonstrated normal aortic appearance and tissue structure and normal downstream vascular beds. At 30 days, each implant's intravascular distal seal and gasket were removed from the circulation and completely covered with a smooth neointimal layer. Minimal inflammation and no intimal or luminal thrombus were observed at any site at every time point. CONCLUSIONS AbsorbaSeal™ 5.6.7F is a safe, effective, and secure VCD that demonstrates rapid hemostasis in a fully heparinized open aortic porcine model. Removal from circulation and complete coverage of the intravascular distal seal and gasket with neointima occurred within 30 days post-implant. Natural transmural vessel healing from the arteriotomy itself with minimal inflammation was noted for each implant at every time point.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, the medical community witnessed an outstanding and accelerated development on minimally invasive therapies. The definition of what constitutes large bore access is subject to discussion, however within the field it is generally accepted to reflect a catheter diameter exceeding 8-French. We sought in this review to explore the evolution, characteristics and vascular compatibility of the current commercially available devices, analyze the devices along with access site-specific complications rates and finally review the present methods for percutaneous vascular closure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transfemoral percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) requires strict bed rest, causing pain and discomfort in patients. However, no studies have investigated this issue. OBJECTIVES To investigate the predictors of discomfort in transfemoral PCI patients. METHODS A cross-sectional sample of 110 patients from two coronary care units completed questionnaires on demographic and clinical characteristics, visual analogue pain scale, and discomfort. RESULTS Eight factors predicted overall discomfort: physiologic pain, physiological discomfort, psychological discomfort, analgesic use after sheath removal, hemostasis method, and bed rest duration. Psychological discomfort was associated with age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, analgesic use after sheath removal, successful hemostasis, and hematoma >5 cm. A hierarchical regression model explained 70.5% of the variance in overall discomfort. CONCLUSIONS Age and physiologic pain are major predictors of overall discomfort, especially in patients aged <60 years having high pain sensitivity. Critical care providers should note patients' physiological and psychological issues throughout the PCI process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Femoral cutdown is standard in most centres if groin cannulation is used for cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). Arterial closure devices (ACDs) allow placement of larger cannulas percutaneously, but its benefit in MICS is unclear. We assessed our results with percutaneous groin cannulation using ACDs in comparison with conventional surgical access in patients undergoing MICS. METHODS We reviewed 445 consecutive patients having undergone MICS between October 2010 and March 2015. Of those, 92 (21%) were performed with conventional surgical access to the groin vessels and 353 (79%) with the use of ACDs. RESULTS Operative risk was higher in the ACD group [logistic EuroSCORE 7.9% (SD: 8.1) vs 10.6% (SD: 12.3); P = 0.010]. The use of ACDs significantly reduced operation time [193 min (SD: 43.8) vs 173 min (SD: 47.1); P < 0.001] and hospital stay [Cutdown: median 9 days (8, 14); ACD: median 9 days (7, 12), P = 0.040] without affecting the time to full mobilization. The incidence of any complication was significantly lower in the ACD group (2.3% vs 8.7%; P = 0.007). Complications with conventional cannulation consisted of lymphatic fistulae (n = 4), wound infections (n = 2), stenosis (n = 1) and haematoma (n = 1). In the ACD group, there were local dissections (n = 2) and stenoses (n = 3). There was 1 haematoma in both groups. There were 2 vascular injuries in the ACD group (n = 2), leading to conversion to surgical access. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous groin cannulation using ACDs for establishing cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive valve surgery significantly reduces groin complications, operation time and hospital stay. However, the remaining complications are mainly of vascular nature versus wound infection and lymph fistulae with cutdown.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of manual compression (MC) with vascular hemostasis devices (VHD) in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through femoral artery access. INTRODUCTION The use of femoral artery access for coronary procedures may result in access-related complications, prolonged immobility and discomfort for the patients. MC results in longer time-to-hemostasis (TTH) and time-to-ambulation (TTA) compared to VHDs but its role in access-related complications remains unclear in patients undergoing coronary procedures. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL and relevant references for English language randomized controlled trials (RCT) from inception through September 30, 2016. We performed the meta-analysis using random effects model. The outcomes were time-to-hemostasis, time-to-ambulation, major bleeding, large hematoma >5cm, pseudoaneurysm and other adverse events. RESULTS The electronic database search resulted in a total of 44 RCTs with a total of 18,802 patients for analysis. MC, compared to VHD resulted in longer TTH [mean difference (MD): 11.21min; 95% confidence interval (CI) 8.13-14.29; P<0.00001] and TTA [standardized mean difference: 1.2 (0.79-1.62); P<0.00001] along with excess risk of hematoma >5cm formation [risk ratio (RR): 1.38 (1.15-1.67); P=0.0008]. MC resulted in similar risk of major bleeding [1.01 (0.64-1.60); P=0.95] pseudoaneurysm [0.99 (0.75-1.29); P=0.92], infections [0.52 (0.25-1.10); P=0.09], need of surgery [0.60 (0.29-1.22); P=0.16), AV fistula [0.93 (0.68-1.27); P=0.63] and ipsilateral leg ischemia [0.95 (0.57-1.60); P=0.86] compared to VHD. CONCLUSION Manual compression increase time-to-hemostasis, time-to-ambulation and risk of hematoma formation compared vascular hemostasis devices.

Abstract
Contexto Os dispositivos de oclusão vascular (DOV) permitem rápida remoção da bainha introdutora de um acesso arterial, reduzindo o tempo de hemostasia, a restrição do paciente ao leito e as complicações no sítio de punção. Objetivos Avaliar a eficácia e possíveis complicações do uso de dispositivo de oclusão arterial comparado com a compressão manual. Métodos Estudo longitudinal prospectivo randomizado com 20 pacientes no período de dezembro de 2014 a julho de 2015 em Maringá (PR). Foram divididos em dois grupos: aqueles que utilizaram DOV (grupo DOV) e aqueles submetido apenas a compressão manual (grupo CM). Realizaram-se exames de ultrassom Doppler para avaliar a espessura pele-artéria pré e pós-procedimento e verificou-se o tempo de compressão e de deambulação. Os dados foram analisados pelo Programa Statistical Analysis Software. Resultados Um total de 60% dos pacientes eram do sexo masculino e a média de idade de ambos os grupos foi de aproximadamente 60 anos. Não houve diferença na espessura pele-artéria entre os grupos. O tempo de compressão no grupo DOV foi de 2 minutos e no grupo CM foi de 21±2,11 minutos (p = 0,0005), e o tempo para retorno de movimentos no membro inferior puncionado foi de 2,35±0,75 horas no grupo DOV e de 6 horas no grupo CM (p = 0,0005). Não houve complicações. Conclusões Neste estudo a hemostasia por compressão manual foi tão efetiva quanto o uso de DOV, embora o tempo de compressão e o tempo para retorno às atividades sejam menores nos pacientes submetidos ao uso do dispositivo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare complication rates, length of hospital stay, and resulting costs between the use of manual compression and a vascular closing device (VCD) in both diagnostic and interventional catheterization in a German university hospital setting. METHODS A stratified analysis according to risk profiles was used to compare the risk of complications in a retrospective cross-sectional single-center study. Differences in costs and length of hospital stay were calculated using the recycled predictions method, based on regression coefficients from generalized linear models with gamma distribution. All models were adjusted for propensity score and possible confounders, such as age, sex, and comorbidities. The analysis was performed separately for diagnostic and interventional catheterization. RESULTS The unadjusted relative risk (RR) of complications was not significantly different in diagnostic catheterization when a VCD was used (RR = 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.22-2.16) but significantly lower in interventional catheterization (RR = 0.44; 95% CI 0.21-0.93). Costs were on average €275 lower in the diagnostic group (95% CI -€478.0 to -€64.9; P = 0.006) and around €373 lower in the interventional group (95% CI -€630.0 to -€104.2; P = 0.014) when a VCD was used. The adjusted estimated average length of stay did not differ significantly between the use of a VCD and manual compression in both types of catheterization. CONCLUSIONS In interventional catheterization, VCDs significantly reduced unadjusted complication rates, as well as costs. A significant reduction in costs also supports their usage in diagnostic catheterization on a larger scale.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This was a prospective, single-center study evaluating the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of early ambulation (within 30 min) following femoral artery closure with the ProGlide® suture-mediated vascular closure device (PD) in patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization compared with manual compression. BACKGROUND It is unclear whether early ambulation with ProGlide is safe or is associated with patient satisfaction and cost savings as compared with manual compression (MC). METHODS AND RESULTS Inclusion criteria were met in 170 patients (85 PD and 85 MC patients). Patients ambulated 20 ft. within 30 min (PD) or after the requisite 4 h recumbent time (MC) if feasible. Primary endpoint was time-to-ambulation (TTA) following device closure. We also directly compared the safety of closure, times-to-hemostasis (TTH), -ambulation (TTA) and -discharge (TTD) with MC and, using a fully allocated cost model, performed cost analysis for both strategies. Multivariate analysis was used to determine predictors of patient satisfaction. The primary endpoint of safe, early ambulation was achieved following closure (mean of 27.1 ± 14.9 min; 95% confidence interval [CI] 25.2-30.2). Predictors of patient satisfaction in the PD group were absence of pain during closure, decreased TTA, and drastic reductions in TTD; the latter contributed indirectly to significant cost savings in the PD group (1250.3 ± 146.4 vs. 2248.1 ± 910.2 dollars, respectively; P < 0.001) and incremental cost savings by strategy also favored closure over MC ($84,807). CONCLUSIONS ProGlide is safe and effective for femoral artery closure in patients who ambulate within 30 min after cardiac catheterization; translating into improved patient satisfaction and substantial cost savings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) requires large-caliber venous sheaths for device placement. Sheath sizes for these procedures vary from 18- to 23-French (F). The most common complications are hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, and arteriovenous fistulas. Complete and secure closure of the venous access is an important step at the end of such a procedure. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients who had undergone LCP implantation at our institution. Patients and procedural characteristics as well as groin complications at 30 days and 3 months were evaluated. After sheath removal venous access sites were closed performing a so-called "purse-string" suture (PSS). RESULTS Seventy-seven patients received an LCP at our institution. In 27 (35%) of these patients a heparin bolus was given at the beginning of the procedure. Anticoagulation therapy with phenprocoumon was present in 32 (40%) of patients. In 76 (98.7%) patients, the LCP was implanted without complications. In one (1.3%) patient a perforation occurred during implantation, which required surgical intervention. Access site complications occurred in three (3.9%) patients, two (2.6%) groin hematomas, and one (1.3%) arteriovenous fistula. The hematomas disappeared completely after 3 weeks, and the fistula was not detectable by ultrasound anymore after 4 weeks. CONCLUSION Use of subcutaneous absorbable double PSS closure after removal of large-caliber venous sheaths is a safe technique to achieve immediate postprocedural hemostasis. Especially for sheath sizes with an inner diameter of 23F, this technique creates a very secure and also cosmetically appealing closure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are widely used to achieve haemostasis after procedures requiring percutaneous common femoral artery (CFA) puncture. There is no consensus regarding the benefits of VCDs, including potential reduction in procedure time, length of hospital stay or time to patient ambulation. No robust evidence exists that VCDs reduce the incidence of puncture site complications compared with haemostasis achieved through extrinsic (manual or mechanical) compression. OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy and safety of VCDs versus traditional methods of extrinsic compression in achieving haemostasis after retrograde and antegrade percutaneous arterial puncture of the CFA. SEARCH METHODS The Cochrane Vascular Trials Search Co-ordinator searched the Specialised Register (April 2015) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2015, Issue 3). Clinical trials databases were searched for details of ongoing or unpublished studies. References of articles retrieved by electronic searches were searched for additional citations. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials in which people undergoing a diagnostic or interventional procedure via percutaneous CFA puncture were randomised to one type of VCD versus extrinsic compression or another type of VCD. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of trials. We resolved disagreements by discussion with the third author. We performed meta-analyses when heterogeneity (I(2)) was < 90%. The primary efficacy outcomes were time to haemostasis and time to mobilisation (mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI)). The primary safety outcome was a major adverse event (mortality and vascular injury requiring repair) (odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI). Secondary outcomes included adverse events. MAIN RESULTS We included 52 studies (19,192 participants) in the review. We found studies comparing VCDs with extrinsic compression (sheath size ≤ 9 Fr), different VCDs with each other after endovascular (EVAR) and percutaneous EVAR procedures and VCDs with surgical closure after open exposure of the artery (sheath size ≥ 10 Fr). For primary outcomes, we assigned the quality of evidence according to GRADE (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) criteria as low because of serious imprecision and for secondary outcomes as moderate for precision, consistency and directness.For time to haemostasis, studies comparing collagen-based VCDs and extrinsic compression were too heterogenous to be combined. However, both metal clip-based (MD -14.81 minutes, 95% CI -16.98 to -12.63 minutes; five studies; 1665 participants) and suture-based VCDs (MD -14.58 minutes, 95% CI -16.85 to -12.32 minutes; seven studies; 1664 participants) were associated with reduced time to haemostasis when compared with extrinsic compression.For time to mobilisation, studies comparing collagen-, metal clip- and suture-based devices with extrinsic compression were too heterogeneous to be combined. No deaths were reported in the studies comparing collagen-based, metal clip-based or suture-based VCDs with extrinsic compression. For vascular injury requiring repair, meta-analyses demonstrated that neither collagen (OR 2.81, 95% CI 0.47 to 16.79; six studies; 5731 participants) nor metal clip-based VCDs (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.03 to 7.95; three studies; 783 participants) were more effective than extrinsic compression. No cases of vascular injury required repair in the study testing suture-based VCD with extrinsic compression.Investigators reported no differences in the incidence of infection between collagen-based (OR 2.14, 95% CI 0.88 to 5.22; nine studies; 7616 participants) or suture-based VCDs (OR 1.66, 95% CI 0.22 to 12.71; three studies; 750 participants) and extrinsic compression. No cases of infection were observed in studies testing suture-based VCD versus extrinsic compression. The incidence of groin haematoma was lower with collagen-based VCDs than with extrinsic compression (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.54; 25 studies; 10,247 participants), but no difference was evident when metal clip-based (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.46 to 1.34; four studies; 1523 participants) or suture-based VCDs (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.02; six studies; 1350 participants) were compared with extrinsic compression. The incidence of pseudoaneurysm was lower with collagen-based devices than with extrinsic compression (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.99; 21 studies; 9342 participants), but no difference was noted when metal clip-based (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.20 to 2.89; six studies; 1966 participants) or suture-based VCDs (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.25 to 2.53; six studies; 1527 participants) were compared with extrinsic compression. For other adverse events, researchers reported no differences between collagen-based, clip-based or suture-based VCDs and extrinsic compression.Limited data were obtained when VCDs were compared with each other. Results of one study showed that metal clip-based VCDs were associated with shorter time to haemostasis (MD -2.24 minutes, 95% CI -2.54 to -1.94 minutes; 469 participants) and shorter time to mobilisation (MD -0.30 hours, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.01 hours; 469 participants) than suture-based devices. Few studies measured (major) adverse events, and those that did found no cases or no differences between VCDs.Percutaneous EVAR procedures revealed no differences in time to haemostasis (MD -3.20 minutes, 95% CI -10.23 to 3.83 minutes; one study; 101 participants), time to mobilisation (MD 1.00 hours, 95% CI -2.20 to 4.20 hours; one study; 101 participants) or major adverse events between PerClose and ProGlide. When compared with sutures after open exposure, VCD was associated with shorter time to haemostasis (MD -11.58 minutes, 95% CI -18.85 to -4.31 minutes; one study; 151 participants) but no difference in time to mobilisation (MD -2.50 hours, 95% CI -7.21 to 2.21 hours; one study; 151 participants) or incidence of major adverse events. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS For time to haemostasis, studies comparing collagen-based VCDs and extrinsic compression were too heterogeneous to be combined. However, both metal clip-based and suture-based VCDs were associated with reduced time to haemostasis when compared with extrinsic compression. For time to mobilisation, studies comparing VCDs with extrinsic compression were too heterogeneous to be combined. No difference was demonstrated in the incidence of vascular injury or mortality when VCDs were compared with extrinsic compression. No difference was demonstrated in the efficacy or safety of VCDs with different mechanisms of action. Further work is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of devices currently in use and to compare these with one other and extrinsic compression with respect to clearly defined outcome measures.

Abstract
Background As economic considerations become more important in healthcare reimbursement, decisions about the further development of medical innovations need to take into account not only medical need and potential clinical effectiveness, but also cost-effectiveness. Already early in the innovation process economic evaluations can support decisions on development in specific indications or patient groups by anticipating future reimbursement and implementation decisions. One potential concept for early assessment is value-based pricing. Methods The objective is to assess the feasibility of value-based pricing and product design for a hypothetical vascular closure device in the pre-clinical stage which aims at decreasing bleeding events. A deterministic decision-analytic model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of established vascular closure devices from the perspective of the Statutory Health Insurance system. To identify early benchmarks for pricing and product design, three strategies of determining the product’s value are explored: 1) savings from complications avoided by the new device; 2) valuation of the avoided complications based on an assumed willingness-to-pay-threshold (the efficiency frontier approach); 3) value associated with modifying the care pathways within which the device would be applied. Results Use of established vascular closure devices is dominated by manual compression. The hypothetical vascular closure device reduces overall complication rates at higher costs than manual compression. Maximum cost savings of only about €4 per catheterization could be realized by applying the hypothetical device. Extrapolation of an efficiency frontier is only possible for one subgroup where vascular closure devices are not a dominated strategy. Modifying care in terms of same-day discharge of patients treated with vascular closure devices could result in cost savings of €400-600 per catheterization. Conclusions It was partially feasible to calculate value-based prices for the novel closure device which can be used to inform product design. However, modifying the care pathway may generate much more value from the payers’ perspective than modifying the device per se. Manufacturers should thus explore the feasibility of combining reimbursement of their product with arrangements that make same-day discharge attractive also for hospitals. Due to the early nature of the product, the results are afflicted with substantial uncertainty.

Abstract
The safety of vascular closure devices (VCDs) is still debated. The emergence of more related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and newer VCDs makes it necessary to further evaluate the safety of VCDs. Relevant RCTs were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials electronic databases updated in December 2014. Traditional and network meta-analyses were conducted to evaluate the rate of combined adverse vascular events (CAVEs) and haematomas by calculating the risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Forty RCTs including 16868 patients were included. Traditional meta-analysis demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the rate of CAVEs between all the VCDs and manual compression (MC). Subgroup analysis showed that FemoSeal and VCDs reported after the year 2005 reduced CAVEs. Moreover, the use of VCDs reduced the risk of haematomas compared with MC. Network meta-analysis showed that AngioSeal, which might be the best VCD among all the included VCDs, was associated with reduced rates of both CAVE and haematomas compared with MC. In conclusion, the use of VCDs is associated with a decreased risk of haematomas, and FemoSeal and AngioSeal appears to be better than MC for reducing the rate of CAVEs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conventional cerebral angiography is a commonly performed procedure in medicine. Vascular closure devices have been developed as alternatives to manual compression at the arteriotomy site and prolonged bed rest. The risks of using these devices include arterial dissection, groin hematoma, and device failure. Herein, we describe our experience with the use of a novel device used for arterial access and closure, the AXERA 2 Access System. METHODS A total of 13 patients underwent vascular access and closure with the AXERA 2 Access System. RESULTS Arterial access using the AXERA 2 Access System was achieved in 11 of 13 patients. Amongst the patients with successful access, one patient experienced a groin hematoma requiring manual compression and two patients suffered occlusions of the common femoral artery due to dissections, with both patients requiring femoral artery thromboendarterectomies. CONCLUSIONS This small series highlights a heretofore underreported serious complication rate of the AXERA 2 Access System. Additional studies are warranted to provide further insight into risk factors for device failure and complication development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Femoral artery injuries are known complications of percutaneous vascular closure devices (VCDs). We studied the incidence of delayed femoral artery angiographic irregularities after neurointerventional procedures in which the EXOSEAL extravascular closure device was used for femoral arterial puncture closure. METHODS Adult patients who underwent femoral arterial puncture closures with an EXOSEAL VCD and had a follow-up femoral artery angiogram from June 2012 through August 2013 were reviewed. A blinded radiologist compared pre-deployment and follow-up femoral arteriograms for the presence of femoral artery stenosis, dissection, pseudoaneurysm, or development of an arteriovenous fistula. Hospital records were reviewed for major or minor complications of the groin site or femoral artery. RESULTS The EXOSEAL VCD achieved hemostasis, without evidence of a groin hematoma or requiring subsequent prolonged manual compression, in 400 of 441 closures following transfemoral arterial access, representing a device success rate of 90.7%. A total of 98 patients underwent 102 repeat angiograms following closure with the EXOSEAL VCD. The average time to the repeat angiogram was 73.5 days (range 0-488, median 28). Follow-up femoral arteriography demonstrated an irregularity in seven cases, all of which were vessel stenoses of <50%. There were no dissections, pseudoaneurysms, infections, or ischemic events in the study population. CONCLUSIONS Angiographic irregularities were seen in 6.86% of cases after closure with the EXOSEAL VCD. There were no clinically significant vascular complications. Thus, femoral artery closure with EXOSEAL carries a low risk of clinically significant delayed angiographic findings.

Abstract
AIMS The present observational case-control study assessed the cost-effectiveness of contemporary vascular closure devices (VCDs) for the prevention of vascular complications in an all-comers transfemoral percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) population. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 8,292 consecutive PCI patients were enrolled from a single-centre prospective registry from January 2005 to December 2010. VCDs were available from July 2007 and, from that time point, VCDs were implanted in 1,780 of the 5,394 patients (33%). Vascular complications occurred in 221 (2.7%) patients. The use of VCDs was independently associated with a 53% risk reduction (OR 0.47, 95% CI: 0.3-0.7) in vascular complications (3.0% vs. 1.5%) and with a 65% risk reduction (IRR 0.37, 95% CI: 0.32-0.43) in the post-PCI length of hospital stay (LOS) (mean 2.8 vs. 1.5 days). Mainly due to the reduced LOS, the patients with VCDs accrued vascular direct medical costs (VCD, diagnosis and treatment of vascular complications, post-PCI LOS) that were on average 498€ less than those accrued by the non-VCD patients. The cost-effectiveness was present across all vascular risk profiles. CONCLUSIONS In this large, all-comers transfemoral PCI population, the use of VCDs was independently associated with a reduction in the rate of vascular complications and the post-PCI length of hospital stay and proved to be cost-saving across all vascular risk profiles.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the risk of femoral access site complications in patients undergoing carotid stent placement who were treated with a closure device compared with patients who were not treated with a closure device. MATERIALS AND METHODS A national, multihospital patient database, the Premier Perspective database, was used to identify patients hospitalized for carotid stent placement from 2006-2011. To reduce potential selection bias, a propensity score was generated for each patient using relevant clinical variables. Propensity score adjustment via 1:1 matching was performed on patients who did and did not receive a closure device. Primary outcomes were minor femoral access site complications and major complications requiring procedural intervention. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, stroke, and blood transfusion. RESULTS Among 12,287 patients who underwent carotid stent placement at 217 hospitals, 6,398 (52%) received a closure device on the day of the procedure. After propensity score matching, patients who received a closure device had a lower likelihood of minor access site complications (4.2% vs 5.4%; odds ratio = 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.55-0.93; P = .0071) compared with patients who did not receive a closure device; however, this difference was small and likely not clinically relevant. Both groups had a similar risk of major access site complications (P = .32), in-hospital mortality (P = .0520), and stroke (P = .31). CONCLUSIONS Use of a closure device was not associated with a substantially reduced risk of major adverse events after carotid stent placement and was associated with only a small improvement in minor access site complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the standard post procedure regime includes immobilization and bed rest despite the use of vascular closure devices. AIM In the Mobilization after Coronary Angiography or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (MOBS) study we compared bleeding complications after cardiac catheterization with femoral artery access after mobilization immediately off the angiographic table or standard care with1 hour (MOBS I after a diagnostic angiogram) or 2 hours of bed rest before mobilization (MOBS II after PCI). METHODS Bleeding complications were defined as major (requiring surgery of the femoral artery, transfusion or increased hospital stay) and minor (hematoma <5 × 5 cm(2), oozing from the puncture site or minor bleeding that could be compressed manually). RESULTS In the MOBS I cohort (100 patients were mobilized immediately and 100 patients followed standard care) no major bleeding complications were seen. In the immediate mobilization group 2.0% experienced minor bleeding compared to 4.0% in the standard care group (p=0.41). In the MOBS II cohort after PCI (158 patients were mobilized immediately and 161 patients followed standard care), major bleeding complication rates did not differ significantly between the two groups: immediate mobilization group 26.6% vs. standard care group 28.0%, p=0.78. The majority of bleeding complications were due to oozing: immediate mobilization group 22.8% vs. standard care group 20.5%, p=0.62. CONCLUSIONS Immediate mobilization after a coronary angiogram or PCI with the femoral access site closed by the closure device AngioSeal was not associated with increased bleeding risk compared to standard care with bed rest.

Abstract
Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in percutaneous treatment of structural heart diseases. Many of these interventions require insertion of large caliber sheaths in the femoral veins. Manual compression, compression devices, and various closure devices have been used for removal of large-sized venous sheaths. Here, we describe the use of a temporary subcutaneous "Figure-of-Eight" suture technique for venous access site closure after removal of large-caliber sheaths.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many different methods are used to manage surgical bleeding and reduce transfusion. Techniques vary by institution, resulting in inconsistent outcomes. We reviewed the current literature on the quality and costs of transfusions, focusing on prevention and management of transfusions during surgery, and provide recommendations on future directions for quality improvement (QI). DATA SOURCES Ovid, PubMed, and Scopus. STUDY SELECTION Key words included QI, blood loss, transfusion, hemostasis, and costs. Inclusion criteria were English language, publication between 1999 and 2010, and primary end points of blood loss, transfusion, or hemostasis. DATA EXTRACTION A total of 1331 abstracts were reviewed; 43 met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS A variety of bleeding management (BM) techniques were identified, with multiple studies suggesting that algorithms combining pre-, peri-, and postoperative interventions have the greatest potential to minimize transfusions. Most studies assessing the economic impact of BM interventions excluded resources beyond blood acquisition cost and longer-term complications, which may underestimate transfusion costs and bias estimates of the cost-effectiveness of interventions. Despite consensus on avoiding inappropriate transfusions, little agreement exists on optimal use of interventions. CONCLUSIONS Multifaceted algorithms show promising results. Future QI should focus on reducing practice variation via evidence-based guidelines for effective use of BM interventions.

Abstract
Post-cardiac catheterization femoral artery hemostasis can be accomplished with several mechanisms, including the FemoSeal® hemostasis device which has been designed and approved for closure of 6 French (F) arterial puncture sites. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the FemoSeal® vascular closure device can effectively and safely seal 7F arterial puncture sites after diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterizations. Femoral artery puncture sites of 50 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac catheterization were closed with the FemoSeal® vascular closure device, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Efficacy endpoints were time to hemostasis and successful ambulation. Safety endpoints included bleeding complications, vessel occlusion and pseudoaneurysms. Mean time to hemostasis was 57.8±26.3 seconds (0-125 seconds). Hemostasis was achieved in 100 percent of the 50 patients. One patient suffered minor bleeding the next day, i.e. local hematoma. This clinical study demonstrates that the FemoSeal® vascular closure device, initially approved for closure of 6F arterial puncture sites, shows promising efficacy and safety to seal a larger (7F) femoral arterial puncture sites after diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterizations.

Abstract
Arterial closure devices (ACDs) provide immediate hemostasis, improve comfort, and allow early ambulation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to evaluate ACD utilization and post-PCI major bleeding in an unselected cohort. Patients receiving ACDs were propensity matched to those with manual compression to evaluate a primary end point of National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) major bleeding and a secondary end point of major bleeding stratified by previously developed NCDR bleeding risk categories. Bleeding events that required transfusion, prolonged hospital stays, and/or decreases in hemoglobin ≥3.0 g/dl were included. Length of stay, defined as days after PCI until discharge, was also evaluated. Secondary analysis of bleeding and complication rates between ACD types (suture vs collagen plug) was performed. Five thousand four hundred twenty-one patients underwent PCI, and 2,324 patients (43%) were included in the final propensity matching: 1,162 with ACDs and 1,162 manual compression patients. Major bleeding was reduced in ACD patients compared to those with manual compression (2.4% vs 5.2%, p <0.001), and NCDR high-risk patients receiving ACDs had the greatest reduction in major bleeds (3.1% vs 10.3%, p <0.001). Length of stay (1.9 ± 1.9 vs 2.3 ± 5.3 days, p = 0.007) and pseudoaneurysms (0.3% vs 1.1%, p = 0.028) were decreased in ACD patients. Suture-based devices revealed a lower composite event rate than collagen-plug ACDs (1.4% vs 3.4%, p = 0.048). In conclusion, ACD use is associated with reductions in NCDR major bleeding, length of stay, and pseudoaneurysms in PCI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of vascular closure devices (VCDs) for the reduction of access site complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial. Patients undergoing primary PCI for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at high risk of femoral artery complications. A lack of information exists regarding the use of VCDs in this group of patients because they have been routinely excluded from randomized trials. This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the routine use of VCDs after primary PCI. METHODS A total of 558 consecutive patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI via femoral route were studied for in-hospital outcomes through a prospective registry from January 2003 to December 2008. The primary end point was the presence of major vascular complication (MVC) defined as a composite of fatal access site bleeding, access site complication requiring interventional or surgical correction, or access site bleeding with ≥3 g/dL drop in hemoglobin or requiring blood transfusion. RESULTS Of the total patients, 464 (83.2%) received a VCD; and manual compression was used in 94 patients (16.8%). Major vascular complication occurred in 5.2% of patients. The risk of MVC was significantly lower with VCDs compared with manual compression (4.3% vs 9.6%, P = .036). Multivariable logistic regression analysis determined that VCD use remained an independent predictor of lower rate of MVC (odds ratio 0.38, 95% CI 0.17-0.91). CONCLUSIONS The use of VCDs in patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI is safe and is associated with lower rates of MVC compared with manual compression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Complex antiplatelet and antithrombotic regimens used in conjunction with percutaneous coronary intervention may increase the risk of vascular complications. The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of vascular complications following sheath removal for percutaneous coronary intervention. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled 413 patients during a 7-month period. Data elements were collected by chart abstraction. Practice variable included pharmacological agents and method and duration of sheath removal procedure. Patient outcomes included hematoma formation, bleeding occurrence, pseudoaneurysm prevalence, incidence of arteriovenous fistula formation, and thrombosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Of the 413 patients, 68 (16.5%) had a complication. Sixty-four (15.5%) developed hematomas ranging in size from 1 to 5 cm (n = 35, 8.5%) to greater than 5 cm (n = 29, 7.0%), 6 experienced bleeding (1.5%), 4 (1%) had arteriovenous fistulas, and 3 (0.7%) developed pseudoaneurysms. There were no significant differences for complications using manual, C-clamp, or arterial vascular closure device. Patients with a higher systolic blood pressure (135 vs 129; df = 410, P = .025) and of older age (66 vs 63; df = 411, P = .016) were significantly more likely to have complications. Clinically significant major vascular complications were low. Arterial closure devices, mechanical C-clamp, and manual compression all provide low and comparable complication risks following sheath removal in the era of antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapies. Patients who are older and those with elevated blood pressure should have their femoral access site closely monitored and be observed for vascular complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vascular closure devices (VCDs). METHODS This meta-analysis was performed in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews. RESULTS The literature search yielded 31 prospective, randomized studies including 7,528 patients who were randomized to VCDs or manual/mechanical compression after diagnostic angiography and/or endovascular procedures. Most of these studies have excluded patients at high risk of puncture site complications. Meta-analysis showed similar results in the study groups in terms of groin hematoma, bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, and blood transfusion. Lower limb ischemia and other arterial ischemic complications (0.3% vs 0%, P = .07) as well as need of surgery for vascular complications (0.7% vs 0.4%, P = .10) were somewhat more frequent with arterial puncture closure devices. The incidence of groin infection was significantly more frequent with VCDs (0.6% vs 0.2%, P = .02). The use of VCD was uniformly associated with a significantly shorter time to hemostasis. Such differences where more evident in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, whereas these methods were associated with similar rates of adverse events among patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. CONCLUSIONS The use of VCDs is associated with a significantly shorter time to hemostasis and thus may shorten recovery. However, the use of VCDs is associated with a somewhat increased risk of infection, lower limb ischemia/arterial stenosis/device entrapment in the artery, and need of vascular surgery for arterial complications. Further studies are needed to get more conclusive results, particularly in patients at high risk of femoral puncture-related complications.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety of manual compression and early ambulation after diagnostic and therapeutic neuroendovascular procedures.
METHODS
Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed for consecutive patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic neuroendovascular procedures. Manual compression at the femoral access site was applied. The target for early ambulation was 2 hours after compression.
RESULTS
Three hundred forty-three patients were enrolled, of whom 295 were eligible for early ambulation. Diagnostic procedures totaled 214 (72.5%); therapeutic procedures, 81 (27.5%). Ambulation occurred at 2 hours for 82 patients who underwent a diagnostic and 11 patients who underwent a therapeutic procedure. Overall, 142 patients (66.4%) after a diagnostic and 21 patients (25.9%) after a therapeutic procedure ambulated within 3 hours; 94% of outpatients ambulated within 2 to 3 hours and were dismissed shortly thereafter. Delayed ambulation was related to nursing staff delays, recovery from general anesthesia, or patient preference. Fourteen patients (4.7%)—9 (4.2%) who had a diagnostic and 5 (6.2%) who had a therapeutic procedure—required delayed ambulation because of local oozing (8 patients), a hematoma of less than 5 cm (3 patients), a pseudoaneurysm (2 patients), or a large hematoma requiring surgical evacuation (1 patient).
CONCLUSION
Early ambulation is feasible and safe after diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and manual compression. A longer period of bed rest or the routine use of closure devices is often not required; thereby avoiding the costs associated with bed rest and the complications associated with closure devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the exact quantitative long-term impact of repeated catheterizations, vascular closure devices, and cardiovascular risk factors on the femoral artery after cardiac catheterization. METHODS A total of 2,102 available femoral angiograms from 827 consecutive patients were analyzed using caliper-based quantitative vascular analysis. These patients underwent coronary interventions between January 2005 and April 2007 and had at least one additional catheterization procedure through the ipsilateral femoral access site from December 2001 until January 2008. Multivariate analysis was performed to control for confounding variables. The primary outcome was change in artery size. RESULTS The average punctured artery diameter was 6.5 +/- 2.1 mm. The average time between the first case and last follow-up was 349 days. There was no significant change of the punctured artery size over time after the index procedure (P = .15) and no change associated with the use of vascular closure devices (P = .25) after multivariate analysis. Smaller arteries were associated with female gender (-1.22 mm, P < .0001), presence of angiographic peripheral vascular disease (PVD, -1.19 mm, P < .0001), and current (-0.48 mm, P = .001) or former (-0.23 mm, P = .01) smoking status, whereas previous statin therapy was associated with an increase in artery size (+0.47 mm, P < .0001). Vascular closure devices were used less often compared with manual compression in cases preceding the first detection of angiographic PVD (P < .001). CONCLUSION Vascular closure devices are not associated with a change in the artery size or progression of PVD. Overall, there is no change in vessel size over time after repeat catheterizations, with a decrease in vessel size associated with current and former smoking and an increase with previous statin therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the incidence of complications after the use of an arterial closure device (Angio-Seal) in patients with peripheral arterial disease. METHODS In 105 consecutive patients after transfemoral catheterization, the puncture site was closed using a closure device (Angio-Seal). Colour-flow-duplexsonography studies were conducted 1 to 4 days before, within 3 days after and 3 month after the intervention. RESULTS All patients had peripheral arterial disease, 34 had calcification at the puncture site. Detection of calcification did not prevent device deployment. Complications (2 minor bleedings, 1 pseudoaneurysm) were not associated with high risk groups (these were: 69 antegrade punctures, 22 obese and 32 hypertensive patients). Three-month postinterventional diameter and blood velocity changes were <1%. CONCLUSIONS Patients with peripheral arterial disease in the region of the puncture site and patients at higher complication risk can safely and effectively be closed with an Angio-Seal device. At the puncture site, no lumen change can be observed 3 months postinterventional.

Abstract
Retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) is a potentially catastrophic complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Previous studies identified female gender, body surface area, and high arterial puncture location as independent risk factors for RPH. There have been conflicting reports regarding the association with vascular closure devices (VCDs). Chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) and diabetes mellitus have been associated with both peripheral vascular disease and vascular access-site complications. The putative association of VCDs, CRI, and diabetes mellitus with RPH in the contemporary PCI era was investigated. A total of 3,062 consecutive patients undergoing 3,482 PCIs at Brigham and Women's Hospital from January 2005 to April 2007 were evaluated for the study. All 3,311 patients with femoral angiography underwent hand-caliper-based quantitative vascular analysis and were included in this analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using a backwards selection algorithm, and a propensity adjustment was developed to control for possible confounding variables regarding VCD use. The incidence of RPH was 0.49% (17 of 3,482 patients). After multivariate and propensity analyses, covariates that significantly influenced the risk of RPH were CRI, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, and high arterial puncture (p < or =0.007). VCD use was not independently associated with the development of RPH (p = 0.74). In conclusion, this large prospective cohort study identified CRI, but not VCD use, as an independent predictor for RPH and peripheral vascular disease.

Abstract
AIMS AngioSeal and StarClose are vascular closure devices (VCDs) that can be used following cardiac catheterisation via the femoral artery to achieve haemostasis. Both devices have been demonstrated to be superior to conventional manual pressure, which reduce time to haemostasis and time to patient ambulation. We sought to compare these devices in a prospective, randomised trial. METHODS Patients undergoing elective coronary angiography were randomised to receive either AngioSeal VIP or StarClose VCD with immediate postprocedure mobilisation. Bruising was recorded at 30 min, 60 min and at 1 week postprocedure. Patient satisfaction surveys were taken at 1 h and 1 week postprocedure. Complications for both groups were compared. RESULTS Four hundred and one patients were included. Arteriotomy closure was achieved in 144 of 208 (69.2%) patients randomised to AngioSeal and 134 of 193 (69.3%) patients randomised to StarClose (p = ns). There was no significant bruising in either group at either 30 or 60 min postprocedure. However, at 1 week, there was significantly more bruising in the AngioSeal group than the StarClose group (63.1 vs. 38.5cm2, p = 0.02). Patient satisfaction and pain perception with the procedure at closure were not significantly different between the groups. Deployment success and instant mobilisation rates were significantly lower for junior, as compared with senior, operators. CONCLUSION Achievement of haemostasis is similar with both AngioSeal and StarClose. The StarClose vascular closure device results in significantly less bruising at 1 week postprocedure as compared with AngioSeal, with no significant differences in complication rates. Patients' pain perception and satisfaction are similar with both VCDs.
