Abstract
OBJECTIVES Manual compression (MC) or vascular closure devices (VCDs) are used to achieve hemostasis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). However, limited data on the comparative safety and effectiveness of VCDs vs MC in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing PTA are available. Accordingly, this study compared the safety and effectiveness of VCD and MC in patients with ESRD undergoing PTA. METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study included the data of patients with ESRD undergoing peripheral intervention at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, from January 1, 2019, to June 30, 2022. The patients were divided into VCD and MC groups. The primary endpoint was a composite of puncture site complications, including acute limb ischemia, marked hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, and puncture site bleeding requiring blood transfusion. RESULTS We included 264 patients with ESRD undergoing PTA, of whom 60 received a VCD and 204 received MC. The incidence of puncture site complications was 3.3% in the VCD group and 4.4% in the MC group (hazard ratio: .75; 95% confidence interval: .16-3.56 L P = 1.000), indicating no significant between-group difference. CONCLUSION VCDs and MC had comparable safety and effectiveness for hemostasis in patients with ESRD undergoing peripheral intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Angio-Seal (Terumo Medical Corporations, Somerset, New Jersey) device is indicated for femoral arteriotomy closure. Real-world published data on complications are limited. We present 1 year of safety events involving Angio-Seal from the US Food and Drug Administration's post-market surveillance database of Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE). Steps for managing frequent device-related problems are discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Angio-Seal MAUDE data from November 2019 to December 2020 was classified according to (1) mode of device failure, (2) complication, (3) treatment, and (4) Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) adverse event classification system. RESULTS There were 715 safety events, involving Angio-Seal VIP (93.1%), Evolution (5.7%), STS Plus (1.1%), and sizes 6F (62.5%) and 8F (37.5%). Failure mode involved unrecognized use of a damaged device (43.4%), failed deployment (20.1%), failed arterial advancement (6.3%), detachment of device component (4.9%), failed retraction (3.6%), operator error (1.1%), and indeterminate (20.6%). Of total, 44.8% of events were associated with patient harm. Complications involved minor blood loss (34.1%), hematoma (5.6%), significant blood loss (1.4%), and pseudoaneurysm (1.4%). Of total, 43.3% of cases required manual compression (MC), whereas 8.8% required more advanced intervention. Interventions included surgical repair (49.2%), thrombin injection (9.5%), balloon tamponade (6.3%), covered stent (4.8%), and unspecified (30.2%). Majority of safety events were CIRSE grade 1 (92.0%), followed by grades 2 (3.1%), 3 (4.6%), and 6 (deaths, 0.3%). Minority of devices were returned for manufacturer analysis (27.8%). CONCLUSIONS The majority of safety events were associated with minor blood loss or local hematoma and could be addressed with MC alone. Most events were attributed to damaged device; however, very few devices were returned to manufacturer for analysis. This should be encouraged to allow for root cause analysis in order to improve safety profile of devices. System-level strategies for addressing barriers to under-reporting of safety events may also be considered. CLINICAL IMPACT Our study highlights important safety events encountered in real-world practice with Angio-Seal closure device. The MAUDE database captures real-world device malfunctions not typically appreciated in conventional clinical trials. Our study provides valuable insight for clinician-users on anticipating and managing the most common device malfunctions. Additionally, our data provide feedback for manufactures to optimize product design and direct manufacturer user training to improve safety. Finally, we hope that the study promotes system-level strategies that foster reporting of safety events and undertaking of root cause analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bed rest duration following deployment of a vascular closure device after transfemoral left-sided cardiac catheterization is not standardized. Despite research supporting reduced bed rest, many hospitals require prolonged bed rest. Delayed ambulation is associated with back pain, urine retention, difficulty eating, and longer stay. OBJECTIVE To study length of stay, safety, and opportunity cost savings of reduced bed rest at a large urban hospital. METHODS A single-site 12-week study of 1-hour bed rest after transfemoral cardiac catheterizations using vascular closure devices. Results were compared with historical controls treated similarly. RESULTS The standard bed rest group included 295 patients (207 male, 88 female; mean [SD] age, 64.4 [8.6] years). The early ambulation group included 260 patients (188 male, 72 female; mean [SD] age, 64 [9.3] years). The groups had no significant difference in age (t634 = 1.18, P = .21) or sex (χ12=0.2, P = .64). Three patients in the standard bed rest group and 1 in the early ambulation group had hematomas (P = .36). The stay for diagnostic cardiac catheterizations was longer in the standard bed rest group (mean [SD], 220.7 [55.2] minutes) than in the early ambulation group (mean [SD], 182.1 [78.5] minutes; t196 = 4.06; P < .001). Stay for percutaneous coronary interventions was longer in the standard bed rest group (mean [SD], 400.2 [50.8] minutes) than in the early ambulation group (mean [SD], 381.6 [54.7] minutes; t262 = 2.86; P = .005). CONCLUSION Reduced bed rest was safe, shortened stays, and improved efficiency by creating opportunity cost savings.

Supra-Aortic Arterial Injuries Following Central Venous Catheterization Managed with Percutaneous Closure Devices: A Comprehensive Literature Review of Current Evidence. Ann Vasc Surg 2023; 96:301-307.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inadvertent supra-aortic arterial injuries during central venous catheterization can lead to devastating outcomes. These have been traditionally been managed with open repair or covered stent placement; only recently have percutaneous closure been incorporated into the management of these iatrogenic arterial injuries. METHODS We performed a MEDLINE literature search in the English language, using the PubMed web-based search engine across years 2000 to 2020. This report reviews 34 published case reports and series reporting 71 iatrogenic supra-aortic arterial injuries managed with percutaneous vascular closure devices. RESULTS In our review, the use of a closure device was successful in 87% of cases, even in some cases involving sheath sizes greater than 8F. The devices used in these situations caused minimal complications and offered a quick means to control bleeding. Thus, percutaneous closure devices are a helpful tool that offers an alternative to more invasive open surgical repair. CONCLUSIONS Vascular closure devices offer a minimally invasive and effective approach to the treatment of inadvertent supra-aortic arterial injury following CVC.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this prospective, multicentre, observational study was to compare the efficacy and safety of balloon-based and non-balloon-based vascular closure devices (VCDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2021 to May 2022, 2373 participants from 10 different centres were enrolled. Among them, 1672 patients with 5-7 Fr accesses were selected. Successful haemostasis, failure and safety were evaluated. Successful haemostasis was defined as the possibility to obtain complete haemostasis with the use of VCDs, without any complication. Failure management was defined as the need of manual compression. Safety was defined as the rate of complications. Cases of haematomas/pseudoaneurysms (PSA) and artero-venous fistula (AVF) were collected. RESULTS VCDs mechanism of action is statistically significant associated with the outcome. Non-balloon-based VCDs demonstrated a statistically significant better outcome: successful haemostasis was obtained in 96.5% vs. 85.9%, of cases when compared to balloon occluders (p < 0.001). The incidence of AVF was statistically more frequent using non-balloon occluders devices (1.57% vs 0%, p: 0.007). No significant statistical difference was found in comparing haematoma and PSA occurrence. Thrombocytopenia, coagulation deficit, BMI, diabetes mellitus and anti-coagulation were demonstrated to be independent predictors of failure management. CONCLUSION Our study suggests a better outcome with the same complication rate, except that for AVF incidence for non-balloon collagen plug device if compared to balloon occluders vascular closure devices.

Impact of transradial versus transfemoral access for preprocedural coronary angiography on TAVR-associated complications. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2023; 46:101205. [PMID: 37122629 PMCID: PMC10130599 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2023.101205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
Background Vascular injury and bleeding complications remain frequent after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Whether the access-site of preprocedural coronary angiography (CAG) affects TAVR-related complications is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of transradial (TRA) versus transfemoral access (TFA) for preprocedural CAG on outcomes in patients undergoing subsequent TAVR. Methods The study cohort included 1002 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR, of whom 39.4% (395/1002) had undergone radial and 60.6% (607/1002) femoral access for pre-TAVR CAG. The primary endpoint was a composite of 30-day mortality and major vascular complications after TAVR. Key secondary endpoints included VARC-3-defined complications. Results The primary endpoint occurred less frequently in patients with prior TRA (3.3%) as compared to patients with prior TFA (6.3%, p = 0.04), which was mainly driven by significantly lower rates of major vascular complications (0.8% vs 2.5%, p = 0.05). Moreover, incidences of periprocedural access-related vascular injury and unplanned endovascular interventions were lower in TRA patients (13.2% vs 18.0%, p = 0.05). The rate of major bleeding tended to be lower in the TRA (1.5%) as compared to the TFA group (3.5%) but was not significantly different (p = 0.07). Moreover, the rate of life-threatening bleeding was comparable between both groups (0.5% vs 0.8%, p = 0.71). Conclusion Transradial access for preprocedural CAG was associated with significantly lower rates of vascular complications following subsequent TAVR as compared to transfemoral access. However, despite the tendency to lower major bleedings with transradial access, no significant association was detectable between the access-site of coronary angiography and TAVR-related bleeding complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Vascular access and closure is a key part of endovascular procedures, and access site-related complications are an independent predictor of adverse procedural outcomes. The purpose of this review is to discuss the methods of vascular closure including manual compression, vascular closure devices (VCDs) for both arterial and venous arteriotomies, their mechanisms, and access site-related complications. RECENT FINDINGS Various VCDs have been approved over the last three decades. These devices have different mechanisms to achieve hemostasis and are generally categorized into active and passive approximators. Studies have largely found that they are non-inferior to manual compression. Uncomplicated vascular closure is pertinent to avoid adverse procedure-related outcomes. The emergence of VCDs has reduced time to hemostasis, facilitating early ambulation and discharge and reducing hospitalization cost with comparable complication rate to manual compression. Nonetheless, they should be used in favorable vascular anatomy and are not intended to reduce complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are performed via the femoral or radial arteries. In patients examined via transfemoral access, closure devices facilitate hemostasis, but it is unknown whether it is safe to mobilize these patients immediately and how acceptable this may be in terms of patient comfort. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to investigate bleeding complications in patients mobilized immediately after transfemoral CAG or PCI compared with patients on bed rest (BR) for 2 hours after the procedure and, furthermore, to investigate patient comfort in relation to mobilization and BR. METHODS SAMOVAR was a noninferiority trial with patients randomized to immediate mobilization (IM) or 2 hours of BR after transfemoral CAG or PCI and use of the AngioSeal as a closure device and reversal of heparin effect. The primary end point was development of hematoma greater than 5 cm, pseudoaneurysm, or bleeding requiring blood transfusion. Secondary end points were oozing from the puncture site, small hematoma, and patient comfort. RESULTS Of 2027 patients (IM, 1010; BR, 1017), 40% underwent PCI. The primary outcome was recorded in 0.7% patients randomized to IM versus 0.5% in BR (P = .58). There was no difference in the incidence of small hematoma, whereas persistent oozing was seen slightly more often after IM compared with BR (12% vs 9%, P = .04). Patients mobilized immediately reported less back pain and micturition problems (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In patients who had CAG and PCI performed through transfemoral access, reversal of anticoagulation and use of closure devices allowed IM with low rates of complications and improved patient comfort.

Abstract
In the past 20 years, numerous percutaneous vascular closure devices have been tested and compared with manual compression and to surgical cut-down. The suture-mediated closure device Perclose ProGlide™ system (Abbott Vascular, CA, USA) emerged as a safe and effective alternative for many procedures requiring either small or large bore vascular accesses. In this review, we will discuss the characteristics of this vascular closure device and the main studies that proved its potential to reduce vascular complications, time to deambulation, time to discharge and patient discomfort.

Abstract
Introduction: The radial artery is currently the most widely used access site for PCI procedures both acute and stable patient settings. Thanks to advantages in pharmacological therapy as well as in interventional devices, the rate of ischemic complications following PCI has significantly decreased. Nevertheless, this has been counterbalanced by an increased risk of periprocedural and late bleeding event, that can occur both at access and non-access sites. Choice of access site for PCI is of paramount importance to reduce the risk of access-related bleeding events. Areas covered: The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the actual available evidence comparing the transradial versus transfemoral approach to reduce hemorrhagic events. The most robust evidence comes from large randomized trials, partly also from observational registries, which compared the transradial and transfemoral approach. Expert opinion: Results show that radial access has proved to be decisive in reducing the incidence of hemorrhagic events. Furthermore, it showed a significant reduction in mortality and AKI compared to transfemoral access. However, increased experience in the use of the radial approach has led to less practice in the use of the femoral approach, which may be useful in cases of emergency, complications or inability to use the radial artery.

Abstract
Background and purposeAccess-site complications constitute a substantial portion of the morbidity associated with transfemoral cerebral angiography, yet no standardized protocol exists for femoral closure and practice patterns vary widely. The objective of this single-arm prospective cohort study was to validate the efficacy and safety of a standardized femoral closure strategy for all diagnostic angiography, regardless of antiplatelet regimen.MethodsA single-arm, prospective study was designed enrolling consecutive patients undergoing diagnostic transfemoral cerebral angiography by a single neurointerventional surgeon from March 2013 – March 2018. The closure protocol consisted of 20 minutes of manual compression to the site of arterial access and 2 hours of bedrest. The primary outcome was hematoma or oozing after manual compression. Demographic, clinic, and laboratory data were collected and analyzed, and patients were stratified by antiplatelet use.ResultsOf 525 angiograms, 263 (50.1%) were on patients taking antiplatelet medication, with 66 (12.6%) on dual antiplatelet regimens. Five patients (0.95% of all patients) met the primary outcome: in all five cases, there was no further oozing or enlarging hematoma after the additional compression period. There were not significant differences in primary outcome in groups stratified by antiplatelet use, and there were no instances of delayed hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, or arteriovenous fistula.ConclusionIn this single-arm cohort study of 525 consecutive transfemoral angiograms with a standardized extrinsic compression protocol, hemostasis was achieved without complication in >99% regardless of antiplatelet strategy. This protocol is effective and safe for diagnostic transfemoral angiography regardless of a patient’s antiplatelet use.

Abstract
There is no standard of care for catheter size or post-procedure supine time in cerebral angiography. Catheter sizes range from 4-Fr to 6-Fr with supine times ranging from two to over six hours. The objective of our study was to establish the efficacy, safety, and cost savings of two-hour supine time after 4-Fr elective cerebral angiography. A prospective, single arm study was performed on 107 patients undergoing elective cerebral angiography. All cerebral angiograms were performed with a 4-Fr sheath-based system without closure devices. Ten minutes of manual compression was applied to the femoral access site, with further compression held as clinically indicated. Patients were then monitored in a nursing unit for two hours supine and subsequently mobilized. Nursing discretion was allowed for earlier mobilization. Patients were called the next day to assess delayed hematoma and bleeding. Estimates of cost savings and productivity increases are provided. All patients ambulated in two hours or less. There were no strokes or vessel dissections. Five patients (4.7%) experienced a palpable hematoma, three patients (2.8%) experienced bleeding immediately following the procedure requiring further compression, and one patient (0.9%) experienced minor groin oozing at home. No patient required transfusion, thrombin injection, or endovascular/surgical management of a groin complication. A two-hour post-procedure supine time resulted in cost savings of $952 per angiogram and a total of $101,864. 4-Fr sheath based cerebral angiography with two-hour post-procedure supine time is safe and effective, and allows for a considerable increase in patient satisfaction, cost savings and productivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) burning and pressure to reduce costs and promote patient empowerment make outpatient endovascular procedures an attractive alternative to conventional hospitalization. For outpatient peripheral endovascular procedures, femoral manual compression could replace the use of arterial closure devices for small-bore punctures. Presently, safety and feasibility evidence for femoral manual compression is still lacking. FREEDOM is a pilot study designed to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of early walking after femoral manual puncture point compression following a therapeutic endovascular procedure for PAD. METHODS From May to August 2015, all patients requiring endovascular treatment for PAD were prospectively screened. Those patients that received therapeutic endovascular procedures involving retrograde femoral punctures with a 5F sheath were included. Manual compression and pressure dressing of the femoral puncture points was applied. The primary end point was defined as the walking ability 5 hr after index procedure (H5), which was assessed by a walk test. RESULTS In total, 129 consecutive patients were screened, and 30 patients met the study criteria. The mean age was 66 ± 11 years. The mean duration of the procedure and of the manual compression was 63 ± 24 min and 12.8 ± 4 min, respectively. At 5 hr following the procedure, 97% of the patients were able to walk 100 m. Two patients failed to walk due to cardiac arrhythmia and to a false aneurysm at the femoral puncture site. No further complications were observed at 1 month, and quality of life assessed by EQ-5D test was significantly increased compare to baseline (72.3 vs. 60.4; P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This pilot study demonstrated the benefits of manual compression to close arterial punctures over procedures using 5F shealth-compatible endovascular devices. A sufficiently powered randomized controlled trial is needed to further characterize the potential benefits of manual compression following use of low-profile devices.

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
BACKGROUND Ambulatory management of patients is an alternative to conventional hospitalization. In this study we evaluate the results of a prospective cohort study of patients receiving ambulatory endovascular treatment for peripheral arterial lesions. METHODS From June 2008 to October 2010, ambulatory management was proposed for endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial lesions. An arterial closure device (Angio-Seal(®); St. Jude Medical) was used. For ambulatory treatment, patients were prohibited from driving a vehicle at discharge, had to be accompanied the first night after the procedure, had to live <1 hour from a medical facility, had to be reachable by telephone the day after the intervention, and had to remain hospitalized in the event of a complication. The principal criterion was morbimortality at 1 month. Secondary criteria were clinical improvement, patency, complications related to the arterial closure, and costs evaluation at 1 month. RESULTS Forty-five patients were included and 50 ambulatory procedures were carried out. The patients presented with claudication (92%) or a critical ischemia (8%) of the lower extremities. All procedures were carried out by femoral puncture (retrograde in 94% and anterograde in 6% of the cases). The patients presented with iliac (68%) and femoropopliteal (64%) lesions. Lesions included stenoses (70%), thromboses (16%), and intrastent restenoses (14%). The rate of failure of ambulatory hospitalization was 16% (n = 8) without a serious undesirable event: 2 patients were hospitalized after a surgical conversion for iliac rupture and disinsertion of stent; 3 patients developed a hematoma during the intervention at the point of puncture; and in 3 cases the system of percutaneous closure failed. The mean duration of hospitalization was 1.36 ± 1.33 days. At 1 month, clinical improvement was observed in 97.5% of cases, with a primary patency of 100%. No perioperative rehospitalization or puncture site complications were observed. Ambulatory management made it possible to save 42 days of hospitalization, with associated costs of 10,971€, compared with conventional hospitalization. The additional costs related to use of the Angio-Seal amounted to 7427€. CONCLUSION Ambulatory endovascular treatment of patients presenting with peripheral arterial lesions is reliable and effective and may contribute to savings in healthcare spending.

Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated the safety and feasibility of a new arterial femoral access closure device in neurointerventional procedures. The study includes all consecutive adult patients who underwent femoral arteriotomy closure with the MynxGrip™ closure device after Neurointerventional procedures performed between June and December 2012. All patients had a follow-up color Doppler ultrasound (US) within 48 hours after the procedure, which was independently interpreted by two experienced radiologists to evaluate for access site complications. Device success/failure, sheath size, ambulation time, and periprocedural complications were recorded. Fifty-five closure devices were deployed in 53 patients. There were 23 (43%) males and 30 (57%) females; age ranged from 22 to 84 years (mean: 52.1 years). Thirty of the 55 procedures (55%) were therapeutic and 25 were diagnostic interventions (45%). Sheath sizes used were 5F in 35 procedures (64 %) and 6F in 20 procedures (36%). The right femoral artery was accessed in 51 procedures (93 %) and the left in four procedures (7%). There was only one (1.8 %) minor periprocedural complication (small hematoma). Hemostasis was successful in 51 of the 55 procedures (93 %) with subsequent early ambulation. No device-induced complications associated with serious clinical sequelae were reported. In our small series, the MynxGrip™ femoral access closure device provided a safe and feasible way of closing the femoral artery puncture site after neurointerventional procedures with low minor complication rates and no major complications. Further large prospective randomized trials are necessary to evaluate the efficacy of the device.
