Abstract
Transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement is the preferred primary access route whenever possible. Despite advancements in expertise and delivery system profiles, complications associated with the primary femoral access still significantly affect procedural morbidity and outcomes. The current standard for accurate main access planning involves proper preprocedural evaluation guided by computed tomography. Several baseline clinical and anatomical features serve as predictors for the risk of vascular injury occurring during or after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. In this paper, we aimed at reviewing the most up-to-date knowledge of the topic for a safe transfemoral access approach according to a paradigm we have called "PIGTAIL."

Feasibility and efficacy of real-time ultrasound-guided venous closure with suture-mediated vascular closure device. Heart Rhythm 2024:S1547-5271(24)02368-3. [PMID: 38608918 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2024.04.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous vascular access complications are usually nonfatal but are the most common complications after transvenous catheter intervention. Vascular closure devices (VCDs) have recently become available for venous closure. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of real-time ultrasound-guided venous closure with suture-mediated VCDs in patients who underwent catheter ablation. METHODS This single-center observational study enrolled 226 consecutive patients who underwent elective catheter ablation with femoral venipuncture. For hemostasis, vessel closure by VCD was performed with real-time ultrasound guidance after 2022 (n = 123) and without ultrasound guidance in 2021 (n = 103). The occurrence of venous access site-related complications (major, minor, or other) was compared. RESULTS The rate of device failure was significantly lower in patients with ultrasound guidance than in those without (1.6% vs 6.3%; P = .048). The occurrence of all venous access site-related complications was significantly lower in patients with ultrasound guidance than in those without (4.9% vs 18.4%; P = .001). Time to ambulation was shorter in patients with ultrasound guidance than in those without (2.0 ± 0.1 hours vs 2.2 ± 0.6 hours; P < .001). CONCLUSION Real-time ultrasound guidance can reduce device failure, access site-related complications, and time to ambulation in performing venous closure with a VCD.

Ultrasound guidance for transfemoral access in coronary procedures: an individual participant-level data metaanalysis from the femoral ultrasound trialist collaboration. EUROINTERVENTION 2024; 20:66-74.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomised controlled trials of ultrasound (US)-guided transfemoral access (TFA) for coronary procedures have shown mixed results. AIMS We aimed to compare US-guided versus non-US-guided TFA from randomised data in an individual participant-level data (IPD) meta-analysis. METHODS We completed a systematic review and an IPD meta-analysis of all randomised controlled trials comparing US-guided versus non-US-guided TFA for coronary procedures. We performed a one-stage mixed-model meta-analysis using the intention-to-treat population from included trials. The primary outcome was a composite of major vascular complications or major bleeding within 30 days. RESULTS A total of 2,441 participants (1,208 US-guided, 1,233 non-US-guided) from 4 randomised clinical trials were included. The mean age was 65.5 years, 27.0% were female, and 34.5% underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention. The incidence of major vascular complications or major bleeding (34/1,208 [2.8%] vs 55/1,233 [4.5%]; odds ratio [OR] 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.39-0.94; p=0.026) was lower in the US-guided TFA group. In the prespecified subgroup of participants who received a vascular closure device, those randomised to US-guided TFA experienced a reduction in the primary outcome (2.1% vs 5.6%; OR 0.36, 95% CI: 0.19-0.69), while no benefit for US guidance was observed in the subgroup without vascular closure devices (4.1% vs 3.3%; OR 1.21, 95% CI: 0.65-2.26; interaction p=0.009). CONCLUSIONS In participants undergoing coronary procedures by TFA, US guidance decreased the composite outcome of major vascular complications or bleeding and may be especially helpful when using vascular closure devices.

Editor's Choice - Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Lower Extremity Vascular Complications after Arterial Access for Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA): An Inevitable Concern? Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2023; 66:103-118. [PMID: 36796674 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is used to temporise non-compressible torso haemorrhage. Recent data have suggested that vascular access complications secondary to REBOA placement are higher than initially anticipated. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled incidence rate of lower extremity arterial complications after REBOA. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Scopus, Embase, conference abstract listings, and clinical trial registries. REVIEW METHODS Studies including more than five adults undergoing emergency REBOA for exsanguinating haemorrhage that reported access site complications were eligible for inclusion. A pooled meta-analysis of vascular complications was performed using the DerSimonian-Laird weights for the random effects model, presented as a Forest plot. Further meta-analyses compared the relative risk of access complications between different sheath sizes, percutaneous access techniques, and indications for REBOA. Risk of bias was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomised Studies (MINORS) tool. RESULTS No randomised controlled trials were identified, and the overall study quality was poor. Twenty-eight studies including 887 adults were identified. REBOA was performed for trauma in 713 cases. The pooled proportion rate of vascular access complications was 8.6% (95% confidence interval 4.97 - 12.97), with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 67.6%). There was no significant difference in the relative risk of access complications between 7 and > 10 F sheaths (p = .54), or between ultrasound guided and landmark guided access (p = .081). However, traumatic haemorrhage was associated with a significantly higher risk of complications compared with non-traumatic haemorrhage (p = .034). CONCLUSION This updated meta-analysis aimed to be as comprehensive as possible considering the poor quality of source data and high risk of bias. It suggested that lower extremity vascular complications were higher than originally suspected after REBOA. While the technical aspects did not appear to impact the safety profile, a cautious association could be drawn between REBOA use for traumatic haemorrhage and a higher risk of arterial complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Palpation technique for femoral artery cannulation can be very difficult, especially in neonates. In this study, we evaluated whether ultrasound-guided cannulation of the femoral artery is superior to palpation technique in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS Forty neonates undergoing cardiac surgery were prospectively randomized into two groups (Ultrasound group and Palpation group). Access time, number of attempts, number of successful cannulations on first attempt, success rate, number of cannulas used, inadvertent access, and complications were compared between the two groups. Cost analyses of the cannulation were performed in two groups. RESULTS In the ultrasound group, access time for femoral artery cannulation was shorter (6.4 ± 3.0 and 10.2 ± 4.4, p = 0.003) and the number of attempts (1.4 ± 0.6 and 2.3 ± 0.8, p < 0.001) was lower compared to the palpation group. The number of successful cannulations on first-attempt (15 (75%) and 5 (25%), p = 0.002) and the success rate (95% (19) and 60% (12), p = 0.008) were higher in the ultrasound group. The number of cannulas used in the ultrasound group was less than the palpation group (p = 0.001). The cost of intervention was higher in the palpation group compared to the ultrasound group (p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS The ultrasound-guided cannulation of the femoral artery in neonates is superior to the palpation technique based on the increased of the number of successful first-attempt cannulation and success rate, and the reducing of the access time, number of attempts, number of cannulas used, and cost of cannulation.

Abstract
Background A significant limitation of femoral artery access for cardiac interventions is the increased risk of vascular complications and bleeding compared to radial access. Ultrasound (US)-guided femoral access may reduce major vascular complications and bleeding. We aim to determine whether routinely using US guidance for femoral arterial access for coronary angiography or intervention will reduce Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 2, 3, or 5 bleeding or major vascular complications. Methods The Ultrasound Guidance for Vascular Access for Cardiac Procedures: A Randomized Trial (UNIVERSAL) is a multicentre, prospective, open-label, randomized trial with blinded outcomes assessment. Patients undergoing coronary angiography with or without intervention via a femoral approach with fluoroscopic guidance will be randomized 1:1 to US-guided femoral access, compared to no US. The primary outcome is the composite of major bleeding based on the BARC 2, 3, or 5 criteria or major vascular complications within 30 days. The trial is designed to have 80% power and a 2-sided alpha level of 5% to detect a 50% relative risk reduction for the primary outcome based on a control event rate of 14%. Results We completed enrollment on April 29, 2022, with 621 randomized patients. The patients had a mean age of 71 years (25.4% female), with a high rate of comorbidities, as follows: 45% had a prior percutaneous coronary intervention; 57% had previous coronary artery bypass surgery; and 18% had peripheral vascular disease. Conclusions The UNIVERSAL trial will be one of the largest randomized trials of US-guided femoral access and has the potential to change guidelines and increase US uptake for coronary procedures worldwide.

Conversion From an Outpatient to an Inpatient Setting After an Endovascular Treatment for Lower Extremity Artery Disease. Ann Vasc Surg 2021; 80:96-103. [PMID: 34780959 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.10.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Outpatient endovascular treatment (EVT) for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) is increasing. Some patients will, nonetheless, unexpectedly stay hospitalized for the night after the procedure. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with a conversion from an outpatient setting (OS) to an inpatient setting (IS). METHODS From April 2017 to August 2019, we performed 745 EVT for LEAD. Patients scheduled for a same-day discharge procedure were retrospectively analyzed. The factors potentially associated with a conversion to an IS were assessed. Results are expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Among the 198 (26.6%) patients scheduled for outpatient EVT, mean age was 70.8±14.1 years old, 34.3% had an ASA score≥3 and 38.4% presented a chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Twenty-eight patients (14.1%) were converted from an OS to IS. Univariate analysis found that Rutherford stage≥4 (OR = 5.09 [2.11-12.27], P < 0.001), high blood pressure (OR = 3.19 [1.06-9.63], P = 0.040), ASA score≥3 (OR = 3.61 [1.58-8.24], P = 0.002), duration of procedure ≥90 min (OR = 2.36, [1.03-5.39], P = 0.042), anterograde puncture (OR = 2.94, [1.30-6.66], P = 0.009), arrival in the operating room ≥12:00 (OR = 13.05, [5.29-32.17], P < 0.001) and general anesthesia (OR = 3.89, [1.20-12.62], P = 0.024) were associated with a conversion. The multivariate analysis revealed that an arrival in the operative room ≥12:00 (OR = 11.71, [3.85-35.60], P < 0.001) and general anesthesia (OR = 6.76, [1.28-35.82], P = 0.009) were independent factors associated with a conversion. CONCLUSION Arrival in the operative room after 12:00 and general anesthesia represent two independent correctible factors associated with the risk of OS failure. No factor directly related to comorbidities or the LEAD severity was identified.

Preoperative Risk Factors for Access Site Failure in Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Treatment of TASC C and D Aorto-Iliac Occlusive Disease. Ann Vasc Surg 2021; 79:130-138.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At our institution, we adopted routinely ultrasound guided approach for all percutaneous procedures. The objective of this study was to describe the predictors of access site failures (ASFs) in patients undergoing percutaneous aorto iliac revascularization and to also evaluate whether other factors such as time period or different vascular devices may influence outcomes in terms of ASFs. METHODS We reviewed all consecutive percutaneous revascularizations performed for aortoiliac occlusion or stenosis at our institution from 2011 to 2020. All procedure were performed using an ultrasound (US) guided common femoral access. The primary outcome was ASFs, defined as bleeding or groin hematomas that required transfusions; pseduoaneurysm (diagnosed by US); retroperitoneal hematoma; artery laceration or ruptured (diagnosed intraoperatively); and thrombosis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine predictors of ASFs. RESULTS A total of 502 femoral arteries were accessed under DUS guidance with no failure in sheath placement. Technical success was achieved in 498 of 502 procedures (99.2%). ASFs occurred in 21 patients (7%); but year of procedure appear to be associated with an excess of ASFs as rates were different between the first and second period of the study (10.9% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.04). Results of multivariable logistic regression model indicated that independent predictors of ASFs were common femoral artery (CFA) calcification peripheral artery calcium scoring system (PACCS) grade (odds ratio [OR], 8.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.5-13.7), and CFA diameter (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.25-0.85). Compared to patients with successful percutaneous access, ASFs resulted in longer post-op lengths of stay (P = < 0.001). CONCLUSION Percutaneous US guided access can be safely performed in patients undergoing endovascular procedures for aorto iliac revascularization with TASC C and D lesions. CFA calcification PACCS grade greater than 3 and smaller femoral vessel diameter are independent risk factors for ASFs.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Endovascular resuscitation is an emerging area in the resuscitation of both severe traumatic hemorrhage and nontraumatic cardiac arrest. Vascular access is the critical first procedural step that must be accomplished to initiate endovascular resuscitation. The endovascular interventions presently available and emerging are routinely or potentially performed via the femoral vessels. This may require either femoral arterial access alone or access to both the femoral artery and vein. The time-critical nature of resuscitation necessitates that medical specialists performing endovascular resuscitation be well-trained in vascular access techniques. Keen knowledge of femoral vascular anatomy and skill with vascular access techniques are required to meet the needs of critically ill patients for whom endovascular resuscitation can prove lifesaving. This review article addresses the critical importance of femoral vascular access in endovascular resuscitation, focusing on the pertinent femoral vascular anatomy and technical aspects of ultrasound-guided percutaneous vascular access and femoral vessel cutdown that may prove helpful for successful endovascular resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemodynamically unstable patients often require arterial and venous catheter insertion urgently. We hypothesised that ultrasound-guided arterial and venous catheterisation would reduce mechanical complications. METHODS We performed a prospective RCT, where patients requiring both urgent arterial and venous femoral catheterisation were randomised to either ultrasound-guided or landmark-guided catheterisation. Complications and characteristics of catheter insertion (procedure duration, number of punctures, and procedure success) were recorded at the time of insertion (immediate complications). Late complications were investigated by ultrasound examination performed between the third and seventh days after randomisation. Primary outcome was the proportion of patients with at least one mechanical complication (immediate or late), by intention-to-treat analysis. Secondary outcomes included success rate, procedure time, and number of punctures. RESULTS We analysed 136 subjects (102 [75%] male; age range: 27-62 yr) by intention to treat. The proportion of subjects with one or more complications was lower in 22/67 (33%) subjects undergoing ultrasound-guided catheterisation compared with landmark-guided catheterisation (40/69 [58%]; odds ratio: 0.35 [95% confidence interval: 0.18-0.71]; P=0.003). Ultrasound-guided catheterisation reduced both immediate (27%, compared with 51% in the landmark approach group; P=0.004) and late (10%, compared with 23% in the landmark approach group; P=0.047) complications. Ultrasound guidance also reduced the proportion of patients who developed deep vein thrombosis (4%, compared with 22% following landmark approach; P=0.012), and achieved a higher procedural success rate (96% vs 78%; P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS An ultrasound-guided approach reduced mechanical complications after urgent femoral arterial and venous catheterisation, while increasing procedural success. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02820909.

Ultrasound versus fluoroscopy-guided femoral access for percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions: Insights from FOUND BLOOD CTO Registry. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2021; 38:61-67. [PMID: 34556431 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2021.08.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare vascular complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTO) using ultrasound guidance (USG) versus fluoroscopy guidance (FSG) for femoral access. BACKGROUND In patients undergoing PCI, using the arterial femoral access increases the risk of vascular complications compared using the radial access. USG reduces time to access, number of attempts, and vascular complications compared with FSG, but the efficacy of USG has never been tested in the setting of CTO-PCI. METHODS A total of 197 patients undergoing CTO-PCI using at least a femoral vascular access from November 2015 to September 2020 were screened. The primary outcome was a composite of local hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, arteriovenous fistula or hemoglobin drop ≥3 g/dL during hospitalization. The independent association between USG and the primary outcome of interest was explored. RESULTS The primary outcome occurred in 17.3% of patients. Patients in the USG group had a significantly lower incidence of vascular complications compared with patients in the FSG group (8.5% vs. 21.0%, p = 0.039), driven by a reduction of localized hematomas (3.4% vs 13.0%, p = 0.042). After adjustment for type of CTO approach and heparin dose, USG was significantly associated with a reduced relative risk of the composite primary outcome (adjusted odds ratio 0.16, 95% confidence interval 0.05 to 0.51; p = 0.002). CONCLUSION USG in CTO-PCI is associated with a decreased risk of vascular complications, primarily driven by a reduction in local hematomas, especially in complex CTO-PCI where the larger use of heparin increases the risk of vascular complications.

Abstract
Background The objective was to assess current training preferences, expertise, and comfort with transfemoral access (TFA) and transradial access (TRA) amongst cardiovascular training fellows and teaching faculty in theUnited States. As TRA continues to dominate the field of interventional cardiology, there is a concern that trainees may become less proficient with the femoral approach. Methods A detailed questionnaire was sent out to academic General Cardiovascular and Interventional Cardiology training programs in the United States. Responses were sought from fellows-in-training and faculty regarding preferences and practice of TFA and TRA. Answers were analyzed for significant differences between trainees and trainers. Results A total of 125 respondents (75 fellows-in-training and 50 faculty) completed and returned the survey. The average grade of comfort for TFA, on a scale of 0 to 10 (10 being most comfortable), was reported to be 6 by fellows-in-training and 10 by teaching faculty (p<0.001). TRA was the first preference in 95% of the fellows-in-training compared to 69% of teaching faculty (p 0.001). While 62% of fellows believed that they would receive the same level of training as their trainers by the time they graduate, only 35% of their trainers believed so (p 0.004). Conclusion The shift from TFA to radial first has resulted in significant concern among cardiovascular fellows-in training and the faculty regarding training in TFA. Cardiovascular training programs must be cognizant of this issue and should devise methods to assure optimal training of fellows in gaining TFA and managing femoral access-related complications.

Abstract
To compare outcomes of ultrasound guidance (USG) versus fluoroscopy roadmap guidance (FG) angiography for femoral artery access in patients who underwent transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to determine whether routine USG use was associated with fewer vascular complications. Vascular complications are the most frequent procedural adverse events associated with TAVI. USG may provide a decreased rate of access site complications during vascular access compared with FG. Patients who underwent TF TAVI between July 2012 and July 2017 were reviewed and outcomes were compared. Vascular complications were categorized by Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria and analyzed by a multivariable logistic regression adjusting for potential confounding risk factors including age, gender, body mass index, peripheral vascular disease, Society of Thoracic Surgeons score and sheath to femoral artery ratio. Of the 612 TAVI patients treated, 380 (63.1%) were performed using USG for access. Routine use of USG began in March 2015 and increased over time. Vascular complications occurred in 63 (10.3%) patients and decreased from 20% to 3.9% during the study period. There were fewer vascular complications with USG versus FG (7.9% vs 14.2%, p = 0.014). After adjusting for potential confounding risk factors that included newer valve systems, smaller sheath sizes and lower risk patients, there was still a 49% reduction in vascular complications with USG (odds ratio 0.51, 95% confidence interval 0.29 to 0.88, p = 0.02). In conclusion, USG for TF TAVI was associated with reduced vascular access site complications compared with FG access even after accounting for potential confounding risk factors and should be considered for routine use for TF TAVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Access site complications are among the most common complications following peripheral vascular interventions. Previous studies have demonstrated a reduced rate of complications with ultrasound-guided vascular access (UGVA). The objective of this study is to evaluate the regional use of UGVA within the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI). METHODS The VQI peripheral intervention module between 2010 and 2018 was evaluated. Regional ID was used to compare distribution of ultrasound usage. Regions were grouped into terciles based on the rate of ultrasound use. Patients were categorized based on type of access. Primary outcome was use of ultrasound across regions. Secondary outcomes were access site complications. RESULTS Over 43,000 cases across the 18 VQI regions were evaluated. The average rate of ultrasound usage was 71% across the regions with a wide variation (range 38-97%). There is a significant difference in utilization among the top third (87%), middle third (79%), and bottom third (58%) (P < 0.001). Average sheath size was similar across all 3 groups. A higher use of ultrasound-guided access was associated with significantly fewer access site complications (top third 1.96% vs. bottom third 3.04%, P < 0.001), the most significant of which was a decreased rate of access site hematoma (top third 1.37% vs. bottom third 2.35%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to evaluate ultrasound-guided access across VQI regions. Our results demonstrate that despite strong evidence supporting the utilization of UGVA, there remains a wide variation in ultrasound usage across VQI regions. This is also the first study to show that the prevalence of ultrasound use in peripheral vascular interventions (PVI) is inversely related to access site complications. Given all of the data supporting the usage of UGVA across numerous specialties, our findings encourage the consideration of an ultrasound-first approach for vascular access in PVI and the implementation of targeted strategies and evidence-based guidelines to enhance UGVA utilization in PVI.

Ultrasound guidance and risk for intravascular catheter-related infections among peripheral arterial catheters: a post-hoc analysis of two large randomized-controlled trials. Ann Intensive Care 2020; 10:89.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact on infectious risk of ultrasound guidance at insertion remains controversial in short-term arterial catheters (ACs). The present study investigated the association between ultrasound guidance (US) during AC insertion and major catheter-related infections (MCRI), catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI) or colonization, using univariate and multivariate marginal Cox model for clustered data. The skin colonization at catheter removal was evaluated to explain our results. RESULTS We used individual data from two multicenter randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) that included a total of 3029 patients, 10 ICUs and 3950 ACs. US guidance was used for 386 (9.8%) catheter placements. In the univariate Cox model analysis, AC insertion with US versus without US exhibited similar risks for MCRI (HR 0.86, CI 95% 0.27-2.72, p = 0.79), CR-BSI (HR 0.87, CI 95% 0.20-3.72, p = 0.85) and catheter colonization (HR 1.31, CI 95% 0.92-1.86, p = 0.13). After adjustment on confounders, risks associated with US guidance remained similar versus non-US for MCRI (HR 0.71, CI 95% 0.23-2.24, p = 0.56), CR-BSI (HR 0.71, CI 95% 0.17-3.00, p = 0.63) and catheter colonization (HR 0.92, CI 95% 0.63-1.34, p = 0.67). No differences between US and non-US for MCRI, CR-BSI and colonization were observed according to the insertion site, radial or femoral. At catheter removal, the skin colonization was similar between US and non-US groups (p = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS Using the largest dataset ever collected from large multi-centric RCTs conducted with relatively consistent insertion and maintenance catheter protocols, we showed that the risk of infectious complications for ACs inserted under US guidance is not superior compared to those inserted without US guidance. Trial registration These studies were registered within ClinicalTrials.gov (numbers NCT01629550 and NCT01189682).

BACKGROUND It is unclear whether or not ultrasound-guided cannulation (UGC) of the femoral artery is superior to the standard approach (SA) in reducing vascular complications and improving access success. OBJECTIVE We sought to compare procedural and clinical outcomes of femoral UGC versus SA in patients undergoing percutaneous cardiovascular intervention (PCvI). METHODS We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus and web sources for randomized trials comparing UGC versus SA. We estimated risk ratio (RR) and standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Primary efficacy endpoint was the success rate at the first attempt, while secondary efficacy endpoints were access time and number of attempts. Primary safety endpoints were the rates of vascular complications, while secondary endpoints were major bleeding, as well as access site hematoma, venepuncture, pseudoaneurysms and retroperitoneal hematoma. This meta-analysis has been registered on Centre for Open Science (OSF) (osf.io/fy82e). RESULTS Seven trials were included, randomizing 3180 patients to UGC (n = 1564) or SA (n = 1616). Efficacy between UGC and SA was the main metric assessed in most of the trials, in which one third of the enrolled patients underwent interventional procedures. The success rate of the first attempt was significantly higher with UGC compared to SA, (82.0% vs. 58.7%; RR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.57; p < 0.0001; I2 = 88%). Time to access and number of attempts were significantly reduced with UGC compared to SA (SMD: -0.19; 95% CI: -0.28 to -0.10; p < 0.0001; I2 = 22%) and (SMD: -0.40; 95% CI: -0.58 to -0.21; p < 0.0001; I2 = 82%), respectively. Compared with SA, use of UGC was associated with a significant reduction in vascular complications (1.3% vs. 3.0%; RR: 0.48; CI 95%: 0.25 to 0.91; p = 0.02; I2 = 0%) and access-site hematoma (1.2% vs. 3.3%; RR: 0.41; CI 95%: 0.20 to 0.83; p = 0.01; I2 = 27%), but there were non-significant differences in major bleeding (0.7% vs. 1.4%; RR: 0.57; CI 95%: 0.24 to 1.32; p = 0.19; I2 = 0%). Rates of venepuncture were lower with UGC (3.6% vs. 12.1%; RR: 0.32; CI 95%: 0.20 to 0.52; p < 0.00001; I2 = 55%). CONCLUSION This study, which included all available data to date, demonstrated that, compared to a standard approach, ultrasound-guided cannulation of the femoral artery is associated with lower access-related complications and higher efficacy rates. These results could be of great clinical relevance especially in the femoral cannulation of high risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endovascular aortic repair (PEVAR) is widespread for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The purpose of this study was to present outcomes of PEVAR using simultaneous angiography via microsheath. METHODS There were 100 punctures in 50 patients undergoing PEVAR for AAA. All cases used the ProGlide closure device (Abbot Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) for PEVAR, and another puncture with microsheath placed on the common femoral artery for a second insertion point of the ProGlide. Basically, a single ProGlide was used for each puncture in the PEVAR. Hemostasis, stenosis, dissection, and distal embolization were confirmed in angiography via the adjunctive microsheath after removal of the delivery system. Since the PEVAR for AAA requires at least two punctures, this procedure was applied to both sites. Primary outcome was technical success and occurrence rates of access-related complications in PEVAR. Technical success was defined as complete hemostasis without surgical intervention and the need for conversion to general anesthesia. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 98% (98/100) of the cases. Access-related complications on perioperative periods were identified in two cases. One case involved a tip of the microsheath being transected by the ProGlide that led to a distal embolization, which is why a cut down was required to retrieve the tip of the sheath. Another case required a cut down due to persistent hemorrhage from the puncture site of the microsheath. Although persistent hemorrhage was identified in five punctures (5.0%) via the adjunctive microsheath angiography, additional manual compression or ProGlide achieved complete hemostasis. Both stenosis and dissection following PEVAR were not identified in any case. CONCLUSIONS A supporting angiography via microsheath in confirming the absence of hemorrhage, stenosis, dissection, and distal embolization may be worthwhile to selectively use for cases of PEVAR.

Abstract
Obtaining femoral and radial arterial access in the cardiac catheterization laboratory using state-of-the-art techniques is essential to optimize outcomes, patient satisfaction, and procedural efficiency. Although transradial access is increasingly used for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, femoral access remains necessary for numerous procedures, many requiring large-bore access, including complex high-risk coronary interventions, structural procedures, and procedures involving mechanical circulatory support. For femoral access, contemporary access techniques should combine the use of fluoroscopy, ultrasound, micropuncture needle, femoral angiography, and vascular closure devices, when feasible. For radial access, ultrasound may reveal important anatomic features and expedite access. Despite randomized controlled trials supporting use of routine ultrasound guidance for femoral and/or radial arterial access, ultrasound remains underused in cardiac catheterization laboratories. This article reviews contemporary techniques to achieve optimal arterial access in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Abstract
Iatrogenic iliac vein dissection secondary to femoral artery puncture is a rare complication that has not yet been documented. A 55-year-old woman presented to our institution with acute right iliofemoral thrombosis 2 weeks after transfemoral cerebral angiography. She was previously healthy and was not taking any medication. Right iliofemoral vein dissection was diagnosed by computed tomography angiography and confirmed by conventional venography. The patient was treated endovascularly with stent insertion, and the venous outflow was patent on the 6-month follow-up computed tomography angiogram.

Abstract
PURPOSE A complicated course of the femoral route for neurointervention can prevent approaching the target. Thus, we determined whether transcervical access in the hybrid angiosuite is applicable and beneficial in real practice. METHODS From January 2014 to March 2017, this approach was used in 17 of 453 (3.75%) cases: 11 cerebral aneurysms (4 ruptured, 7 unruptured), 4 acute occlusions of the large cerebral artery, 1 proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, and 1 direct carotid cavernous fistula (CCF). RESULTS All patients were elderly (mean age, 78.1 years). The main cause was severe tortuosity of the supra-aortic course or the supra-aortic and infra-aortic courses (eight and five cases, respectively), orifice disturbance (three cases), and femoral occlusion (one case). Through neck dissection, 6-8Fr guiding catheters were placed via subcutaneous tunneling to enhance device stability and support. All cerebral aneurysms were embolized (eight complete and three neck remnants) using the combination of several additional devices. Mechanical stent retrieval with an 8Fr balloon guiding catheter was successfully achieved in a few runs (mean, 2 times; range, 1-3) within the proper time window (mean skin to puncture, 17 ± 4 min; puncture to recanalization, 25 ± 4 min). Each stent was satisfactorily deployed in the proximal ICA and direct CCF without catheter kick-back. All puncture sites were closed through direct suturing without complications. CONCLUSIONS In the hybrid angiosuite, transcervical access via direct neck exposure is feasible in terms of device profile and support when the femoral route has an unfavorable anatomy.

Abstract
The inferior border of the femoral head (IBFH) is widely used as a landmark in femoral artery puncture during invasive coronary angiography (ICA). However, application of this technique can be challenging especially in obese patients. This study was performed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of low puncture in femoral artery puncture.A total of 464 patients (64.8 ± 11.1 years, 55.8% male) who underwent ICA via trans-femoral access were retrospectively reviewed. IBFH was used as a landmark for a skin nick and the femoral artery cannulation site was confirmed by femoral angiography. Cannulation at the bifurcation of the common femoral artery (CFA) or below were considered low puncture.Twenty-nine patients (5.8%) were identified as having an angiographically high CFA bifurcation and low femoral artery puncture occurred in 27 (93.1%) patients of them. Among patients with normal bifurcation (n = 464), low puncture occurred in 74 (15.9%) patients. Underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m) or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) patients were more common in the low puncture group than in the proper puncture group (36.5% vs. 5.9%, P < .001). Multivariable analysis showed underweight or obesity (odd ratio, 9.10; 95% confidential interval, 4.77-17.35; P < .001) was an independent risk factor of low puncture even after controlling for clinical covariates. The average distance from IBFH to the CFA puncture site was shorter in patients with underweight (1.74 ± 0.71 cm) or obesity (1.75 ± 0.60 cm) than in those with normal BMI or overweight (2.07 ± 0.83 cm) (P = .030). Trigonometric calculation showed that the average distance from IBFH to the CFA puncture site was 0.5 to 2.59 cm (mean = 1.32 cm) shorter in underweight patients compared with those of normal weight or overweight patients.In patients with normal CFA bifurcation, underweight or obesity were associated with increased risk of low puncture. The puncture site should be chosen about 1 finger width more proximal to IBFH for ICA in such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bleeding from hemorrhagic shock can be immediately controlled by blocking the proximal part of the hemorrhagic point using either resuscitative thoracotomy for aortic cross-clamping or insertion of a large-caliber (10-14Fr) resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) device via the femoral artery. However, such methods are very invasive and have various complications. With recent progress in endovascular treatment, a low-profile REBOA device (7Fr) has been developed. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to report our experience of this low-profile REBOA device and to evaluate the usefulness of emergency physician-operated REBOA in life-threatening hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Ten patients with refractory hemorrhagic shock underwent REBOA using this device via the femoral artery. All REBOA procedures were performed by emergency physicians. The success rate of the insertion, vital signs, and REBOA-related complications were evaluated. RESULTS Median age was 54 years (interquartile range 33-78 years). The causes of hemorrhagic shock were trauma (n = 4; 1 blunt and 3 penetrating), ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (n = 3), and obstetric hemorrhage (n = 3). Two patients had cardiopulmonary arrest upon arrival. REBOA procedure was successful in all patients, and all became hemodynamically stable to undergo definitive interventions after REBOA. There were no REBOA-related complications. The mortality rate within 24 h and 30 days was 40%. CONCLUSIONS This REBOA device was useful for emergency physicians in life-threatening hemorrhagic shock because of its ease in handling and low invasiveness.

Son SY, Cho KC, Cho P, Lee JH, Myoung SU, Choi JH. Prepuncture Ultrasound Examination Facilitates Safe and Accurate Common Femoral Artery Access for Transfemoral Cerebral Angiography. J Cerebrovasc Endovasc Neurosurg 2017; 19:276-283. [PMID: 29387628 PMCID: PMC5788835 DOI: 10.7461/jcen.2017.19.4.276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2016] [Revised: 08/22/2017] [Accepted: 10/25/2017] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective We aimed to introduce our method involving prepuncture ultrasound scan for cannulation of the common femoral artery (CFA) during transfemoral cerebral angiography (TFCA), and to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes. Material and Methods Our study included 90 patients who underwent prepuncture ultrasound examination of the inguinal area for TFCA between April 2015 and June 2015. Prior to skin preparation and draping of the inguinal area, we identified the CFA and its bifurcation using ultrasound. Based on the ultrasound findings, we marked cruciate lines in the inguinal area. Thereafter, we inserted a puncture needle at the interface between the horizontal and vertical lines at a 30-45° angle, simultaneously palpating the pulsation of the femoral artery. After TFCA was completed, femoral artery angiography was performed in the anteroposterior and oblique directions. Clinical and radiological parameters, including CFA cannulation, the ultrasound scan time, the first pass success rate, the time required for the passage of the wire, and complications, were evaluated. Results The mean ultrasound scan time of the CFA and its bifurcation was 72.6 seconds, and the mean time between administration of local anesthesia and wire passage was 67.44 seconds. The first pass success rate was 77.8% (70/90 patients), and the CFA puncture rate was 98.8% (89/90 patients). Although minor complications were noted in 7 patients, no patient reported serious complications (a large hematoma [≥ 5 cm], pseudoaneurysms, dissection, and/or a retroperitoneal hematoma.). Conclusion Prepuncture ultrasound examination might be a simple, safe, and accurate technique for cannulation of the CFA during TFCA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultrasound guidance (UG) to vascular puncture in endovascular therapy. Ultrasound guidance was evaluated by comparison with the rates of failures and complications of the traditional techniques of percutaneous vascular access. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed all the consecutive percutaneous revascularizations (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and/or stenting, treatment of aneurysms and vascular traumatisms) since the standardization of the systems of closing (extra- and endovascular). The UG began in November 2011. The main objectives of the evaluation were the rate of failure of the punctures and the rate of complications (hematoma requiring transfusion or surgery for hemostasis, false aneurysm, dissection, thrombosis, infection). The failures and the complications were compared between two groups UG- and UG+. RESULTS Between January 2008 and December 2014, 841 punctures were carried out by femoral route (85%), brachial route (12%), popliteal route (1%), axillary route (0.5%), and posterior tibial route (0.5%) with introducers between 4F and 12F. There were 20 complications (2.3%): six hematomas, four pseudo-aneurysms, three thromboses, one nervous paralysis, one stent infection, and seven percutaneous failures. The complications and the failures were significantly lower with ultrasound guidance (0.9% vs. 3.6%; P=0.02, and 0.2% vs. 1.4%; P=0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION Ultrasound guidance makes it possible to significantly decrease the rate of complications and failures of the percutaneous accesses. This tool allowed a clear increase in the realization of the percutaneous angioplasties in outpatient hospitalization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Large arterial sheaths currently used for resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) may be associated with severe complications. Smaller diameter catheters compatible with 7Fr sheaths may improve the safety profile. METHODS A retrospective review of patients receiving REBOA through a 7Fr sheath for refractory traumatic hemorrhagic shock was performed from January 2014 to June 2015 at five tertiary-care hospitals in Japan. Demographics were collected including method of arterial access; outcomes included mortality and REBOA-related access complications. RESULTS Thirty-three patients underwent REBOA at Zone 1 (level of the diaphragm). Most patients were male (70%), with a mean age (+SD) 50 ± 18 years, mean BMI 23 ± 4, and a median [IQR] ISS of 38 [34, 52]. Ninety-four percent of patients presented after sustaining injuries from blunt mechanisms. Twenty-four percent underwent CPR before arrival, and an additional 15% received CPR after admission. Percutaneous arterial access without ultrasound or fluoroscopy was achieved in all patients. Systolic blood pressure increased significantly following balloon occlusion (mean 62 ± 36 to 106 ± 40 mm Hg, p < 0.001). Median total duration of complete initial occlusion was 26 [range 10-35] minutes. Sixteen patients (49%) survived beyond 24 hours, and 14 patients (42%) survived beyond 30 days. Twenty-four-hour and 30-day survival were 48% and 42%, respectively. Of the patients surviving 24 hours (n = 16), median duration of sheath placement was 28 [range 18-45] hours with all removed using manual pressure to achieve hemostasis. Of 33 REBOAs, 20 were performed by Emergency Medicine practitioners, 10 by Emergency Medicine practitioners with endovascular training, and 3 by Interventional Radiologists. No complication related to sheath insertion or removal was identified during the follow-up period, including dissection, pseudoaneurysm, retroperitoneal hematoma, leg ischemia, or distal embolism. CONCLUSIONS 7Fr REBOA catheters can significantly elevate systolic blood pressure with no access-related complications. Our results suggest that a 7Fr introducer device for REBOA may be a safe and effective alternative to large-bore sheaths, and may remain in place during the post-procedure resuscitative phase without sequelae.

Abstract
Although ultrasound (US) guidance for venous access is becoming the “standard of care” for preventing access site complications, its feasibility for arterial access has not been fully investigated, especially in the neuro-interventional population. We conducted the first prospective cohort study on US-guided femoral artery access during neuro-interventional procedure. This study included 64 consecutive patients who underwent US-guided femoral artery access through 66 arterial access sites for diagnostic and/or neuro-interventional purposes. The number of attempts required for both the sheath insertion and the success of anterior wall puncture were recorded. In addition, the occurrence of major complications and hematoma formation on the arterial access site examined by US were statistically analyzed. The median number of attempts was 1 (1–2) and first-pass success rate was 63.6%. Anterior wall puncture was achieved in 98.5%. In one case (1.5%), a pseudoaneurysm was observed. In all cases, US clearly depicted a common femoral artery (CFA) and its bifurcation. Post-procedural hematoma was detected in 13 cases (19.7%), most of which were “tiny” or “moderate” in size. Low body mass index and antiplatelet therapy were the independent risk factors for access site hematoma. The US-guided CFA access was feasible even in neuro-interventional procedure. The method was particularly helpful in the patients with un-palpable pulsation of femoral arteries. To prevent arterial access site hematoma, special care should be taken in patients with low body mass index and who are on antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Torso hemorrhage remains a leading cause of potentially preventable death within trauma, acute care, vascular, and obstetric practice. A proportion of patients exsanguinate before hemorrhage control. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is an adjunct designed to sustain the circulation until definitive hemostasis. A systematic review was conducted to characterize the current clinical use of REBOA and its effect on hemodynamic profile and mortality. METHODS A systematic review (1946-2015) was conducted using EMBASE and MEDLINE. Original studies on human subjects, published in English language journals, were considered. Articles were included if they reported data on hemodynamic profile and mortality. RESULTS A total of 83 studies were identified; 41 met criteria for inclusion. Clinical settings included postpartum hemorrhage (5), upper gastrointestinal bleeding (3), pelvic surgery (8), trauma (15), and ruptured aortic aneurysm (10). Of the 857 patients, overall mortality was 423 (49.4%); shock was evident in 643 (75.0%). Pooled analysis demonstrated an increase in mean systolic pressure by 53 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, 44-61 mm Hg) following REBOA use. Data exhibited moderate heterogeneity with an I of 35.5. CONCLUSION REBOA has been used in a variety of clinical settings to successfully elevate central blood pressure in the setting of shock. Overall, the evidence base is weak with no clear reduction in hemorrhage-related mortality demonstrated. Formal, prospective study is warranted to clarify the role of this adjunct in torso hemorrhage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic review, level IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess whether the benefits conferred by radial access (RA) at an individual level are offset by a proportionally greater incidence of vascular access site complications (VASC) at a population level when femoral access (FA) is performed. BACKGROUND The recent widespread adoption of RA for cardiac catheterization has been associated with increased rates of VASCs when FA is attempted. METHODS Logistic regression was used to calculate the adjusted VASC rate in a contemporary cohort of consecutive patients (2006 to 2008) where both RA and FA were used, and compared it with the adjusted VASC rate observed in a historical control cohort (1996 to 1998) where only FA was used. We calculated the adjusted attributable risk to estimate the proportion of VASC attributable to the introduction of RA in FA patients of the contemporary cohort. RESULTS A total of 17,059 patients were included. At a population level, the VASC rate was higher in the overall contemporary cohort compared with the historical cohort (adjusted rates: 2.91% vs. 1.98%; odds ratio [OR]: 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17 to 1.89; p = 0.001). In the contemporary cohort, RA patients experienced fewer VASC than FA patients (adjusted rates: 1.44% vs. 4.19%; OR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.23 to 0.48; p < 0.001). We observed a higher VASC rate in FA patients in the contemporary cohort compared with the historical cohort (adjusted rates: 4.19% vs. 1.98%; OR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.67 to 2.81; p < 0.001). This finding was consistent for both diagnostic and therapeutic catheterizations separately. The proportion of VASCs attributable to RA in the contemporary FA patients was estimated at 52.7%. CONCLUSIONS In a contemporary population where both RA and FA were used, the safety benefit associated with RA is offset by a paradoxical increase in VASCs among FA patients. The existence of this radial paradox should be taken into consideration, especially among trainees and default radial operators.

Abstract
Advances in anti-thrombotic and anti-platelet therapies have improved outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) through a reduction in ischaemic events, at the expense of peri-procedural bleeding complications. These may occur through either the access site through which the PCI was performed or through non-access-related sites. There are currently over 10 definitions of major bleeding events consisting of clinical events, changes in laboratory parameters and clinical outcomes, where different definitions will differentially influence the reported incidence of major bleeding events. Use of different major bleeding definitions has been shown to change the reported outcome of a number of therapeutic strategies in randomised controlled trials but as yet a universal bleeding definition has not gained widespread adoption in assessing the efficacy of such therapeutic interventions. Major bleeding complications are independently associated with adverse mortality and major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) outcomes, irrespective of the definition of major bleeding used, with the worst outcomes associate with non-access-site related bleeds. We consider the mechanisms through which bleeding complications may affect longer-term outcomes and discuss bleeding avoidance strategies, including access site choice, pharmacological considerations and formal bleeding risk assessment to minimise such bleeding events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to elucidate the risks for access site-related complications (ASCs) after percutaneous lower extremity revascularization and to evaluate the benefit of routine ultrasound-guided access (RUS) in decreasing ASCs. METHODS We reviewed all consecutive percutaneous revascularizations (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or stent) performed for lower extremity atherosclerosis at our institution from 2002 to 2012. RUS began in September 2007. Primary outcome was any ASC (bleeding, groin or retroperitoneal hematoma, vessel rupture, or thrombosis). Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine predictors of ASC. RESULTS A total of 1371 punctures were performed on 877 patients (43% women; median age, 69 [interquartile range, 60-78] years) for claudication (29%), critical limb ischemia (59%), or bypass graft stenosis (12%) with 4F to 8F sheaths. There were 72 ASCs (5%): 52 instances of bleeding or groin hematoma, nine pseudoaneurysms, eight retroperitoneal hematomas, two artery lacerations, and one thrombosis. ASCs were less frequent when RUS was used (4% vs 7%; P = .02). Multivariable predictors of ASC were age >75 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-3.7; P = .03), congestive heart failure (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-1.3; P = .02), preoperative warfarin use (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.5; P = .02), and RUS (OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-0.7; P < .01). Vascular closure devices (VCDs) were not associated with lower rates of ASCs (OR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.6-1.9; P = .79). RUS lowered ASCs in those >75 years (5% vs 12%; P < .01) but not in those taking warfarin preoperatively (10% vs 13%; P = .47). RUS did not decrease VCD failure (6% vs 4%; P = .79). CONCLUSIONS We were able to decrease the rate of ASCs during lower extremity revascularization with the implementation of RUS. VCDs did not affect ASCs. Particular care should be taken with patients >75 years old, those with congestive heart failure, and those taking warfarin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients treated with anticoagulants frequently require urgent vascular procedures and elevated prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (INR) is traditionally thought to increase access site bleeding complications after sheath removal. We aimed to determine the safety of percutaneous arterial procedures on patients with a high INR in the era of modern ultrasound-guided access and closure device use. METHODS Patients undergoing arterial endovascular procedures at a single institution between October 2010 and November 2012 were reviewed (n = 1,333). We retrospectively analyzed all patients with an INR > 1.5. Venous procedures, lysis checks, and cases with no documented INR within 24 hr were excluded. Sixty-five patients with 91 punctures were identified. A comparison group was then generated from the last 91 patients intervened on with INR < 1.6. Demographics, intraoperative data, and postoperative complications were compared. RESULTS The demographics were similar. More Coumadin use and higher INR were found in the study group (71/91 and 0/91, P = 0.001; 2.3 and 1.1 sec, P = 0.001, respectively), but there was more antiplatelet use in the control group (68/91 and 51/91, P = 0.01). Intraoperatively, the sheath sizes, protamine use, closure device use, ultrasound guidance, brachial access, and procedure types were not statistically different. Sheath sizes ranged from 4 to 22F in the study group and 4 to 20F in the control group. Paradoxically, heparin was administered more frequently in the study group (64/91 and 50/91, P = 0.046). Bleeding complications occurred more commonly in the study group (3/91 and 1/91, P = 0.62), but this failed to reach significance and the overall complication rate in both groups was low. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular procedures may be performed safely with a low risk of bleeding complications in patients with an elevated INR. Ultrasound guidance and closure device use may allow these cases to be performed safely, but a larger series may be needed to confirm this.
