Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the use of rotational atherectomy (RA) is off-label in the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it can be the only option in severely calcified culprit lesions to achieve procedural success. We sought to investigate the safety and feasibility of RA during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). METHODS This was a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent RA during PPCI from 12 European centres. The main outcomes were procedural success (defined as successful stent implantation with final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction [TIMI] flow 3 and residual stenosis < 30%) and in-hospital mortality. A comparison of patients presenting with and without shock was performed. RESULTS In 104 patients with RA during STEMI, the mean age was 72.8 ± 9.1 years, and 35% presented with cardiogenic shock. Bailout RA was performed in 76.9% of cases. Mean burr size was 1.42 ± 0.21 mm. Procedural success was achieved in 86.5% of cases, with no difference between shocked and nonshocked patients (94.4% vs 82.4%; P = 0.13). In-hospital stent thrombosis occurred in 0.96%, perforation in 1.9% and burr entrapment in 2.9% of cases. In spite of equally high procedural success, in-hospital mortality was higher in shocked (50%) compared with nonshocked patients (1.5%; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Patients presenting with STEMI requiring RA, represent a high-risk population, frequently presenting with cardiogenic shock. In this analysis of selected patients, RA was performed as a bailout strategy in the majority, and, as such, RA seems to be feasible with a high procedural success rate. In the absence of cardiogenic shock, RA-facilitated PCI seems to be associated with low in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with atherothrombotic risk are at high hazard of ischemic events. Preventive medicine plays a major role in modifying their outcomes. Whether the choice of a BP-SES or DP-EES can contribute to the occurrence of events remains unclear. We sought to investigate the outcomes of patients with higher atherothrombotic risk (H-ATR) versus lower atherothrombotic risk (L-ATR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with either bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) or durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES). METHODS Patients (n = 2361) from BIOFLOW-II, -IV, and -V randomized trials were categorized into H-ATR vs. L-ATR. L-ATR patients had ≤ 1 and H-ATR ≥ 2 of the following criteria: presentation in ACS, diabetes mellitus, previous myocardial infarction, previous PCI/CABG, or previous stroke. Endpoints were target lesion failure (TLF: cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction [TV-MI], target lesion revascularization [TLR]) and stent thrombosis (ST) at three years. RESULTS H-ATR patients (n = 1023) were more morbid than L-ATR patients (n = 1338). TLF rate was significantly higher in H-ATR patients as compared with L-ATR (11.6% vs. 7.0%; HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.27-2.20, p < 0.0001). With BP-SES TLF rates were numerically lower as compared with DP-EES in H-ATR (10.5% vs. 13.5%; HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.54-1.14, p = 0.20) and significantly lower in L-ATR (5.6% vs. 9.8%; HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.38-0.85, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION In the era of newer-generation DES, patients with H-ATR still are at hazard for ischemic events. Patients with BP-SES had lower TLF rates as compared with DP-EES, most consistent in L-ATR whereas in H-ATR patients most probably secondary preventive strategies are of higher value.

Abstract
With growing experience, technical improvements and use of newer generation drug-eluting stents (DES), recent data showed satisfactory acute and long-term results after rotational atherectomy (RA) in calcified coronary lesions. The randomized ROTAXUS and PREPARE-CALC trials compared RA to balloon-based strategies in two different time periods in the DES era. In this manuscript, we assessed the technical evolution in RA practice from a pooled analysis of the RA groups of both trials and established a link to further recent literature. Furthermore, we sought to summarize and analyze the available experience with RA in different patient and lesion subsets, and propose recommendations to improve RA practice. We also illustrated the combination of RA with other methods of lesion preparation. Finally, based on the available evidence, we propose a simple and practical approach to treat severely calcified lesions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients at high bleeding risk (HBR patients) represent an important subset of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It remains unclear whether a shortened duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) confers benefits compared with prolonged duration of DAPT in this patient population. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare bleeding and ischemic outcomes among HBR patients receiving short- versus long-term DAPT after PCI. METHODS A meta-analysis of studies comparing short-term (1-3 months) and long-term (6-12 months) DAPT after PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stents in HBR patients was performed. RESULTS Six studies [1 randomized controlled trial (RCT), 2 RCT subanalyses, and 3 prospective propensity-matched studies] involving 15,908 patients were included in the meta-analysis. During a follow-up of 12 months, short-term DAPT was associated with a reduction in major bleeding events [odds ratio (OR) 0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42-0.95; p = 0.03, I2 = 71] and comparable definite/probable stent thrombosis, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemic stroke, compared with long-DAPT. Single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) with aspirin was comparable to SAPT with P2Y12 inhibitor, with no treatment-by-subgroup interaction for major bleeding events (p-interaction = 0.27). In studies including patients presenting with MI, a trend of more frequent MI was noted in the short-DAPT arm (OR 1.25, 95% CI 0.98-1.59; p = 0.07; I2 = 0). In a sensitivity analysis comparing 3- and 12-month DAPT, the 3-month DAPT strategy was associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.15-4.87; p = 0.02, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION Short-term DAPT after PCI in HBR patients was associated a reduction in major bleeding events and similar ischemic outcomes. However, a higher risk of ischemic stroke and MI at 1 year of follow-up was seen in some subsets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and target-vessel SYNTAX score (tvSS) are novel indices used to assess lesion physiology and morphology in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Their prognostic implication after successful recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) is unknown. OBJECTIVES To investigate the prognostic value of QFR measured immediately after successful CTO-recanalization in predicting vessel-oriented adverse events, and to compare it with the pre-procedural morphological tvSS. METHODS QFR was measured offline after successful CTO-PCIs in a single center. We grouped the patients according to a cut-off value of post-PCI QFR (0.91). The primary outcome was target-vessel failure (TVF) at 2 years. RESULTS Among 470 CTO lesions performed during the study period, 324 were eligible for QFR analysis (258 with QFR ≥ 0.91 and 66 with QFR < 0.91). The mean age of the study population was 68.3 ± 10.7 years. The low QFR group had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (45.8 ± 13.9% vs. 49.8 ± 12.4%, p = 0.025) and a higher rate of atrial fibrillation (19.7% vs. 11.2%, p = 0.020). The mean tvSS was 12.8 ± 4.8, and it showed no significant difference in both groups (13.6 ± 5.1 vs. 12.6 ± 4.6, p = 0.122). Patients with low post-CTO QFR had a trend to develop more TVF at 2 years (21.2% vs. 12.4%, HR 1.74; 95% CI 0.93-3.25, p = 0.086). Low post-CTO QFR failed to predict 2-year TVF (aHR 1.67; 95% CI 0.85-3.29, p = 0.136), while pre-procedural tvSS was an independent predictor for 2-year TVF (aHR 1.06; 95% CI 1.01-1.13, p = 0.030). CONCLUSION We found a limited prognostic value of immediate physiological assessment using QFR after successful CTO intervention. Pre-procedure morphological characteristics of CTO lesions using tvSS can play a role in predicting long-term adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of lesion preparation using rotational atherectomy (RA) with consecutive cutting balloon angioplasty (Rota-Cut). BACKGROUND Whether the Rota-Cut combination improves stent performance in severely calcified coronary lesions is unknown. METHODS PREPARE-CALC-COMBO is a single-arm prospective trial in which 110 patients were treated with a Rota-Cut strategy before implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents and compared with patients treated with modified balloon (MB, scoring or cutting) or RA from a historical cohort (the randomized PREPARE-CALC trial). The study had two primary endpoints: in-stent acute lumen gain (ALG) by quantitative angiographic analysis and stent expansion (SE) on optical coherence tomography. RESULTS In-stent ALG was significantly higher with Rota-Cut compared to RA or MB alone (1.92 ± 0.45 mm vs. 1.74 ± 0.45 mm with MB vs. 1.70 ± 0.42 mm with RA; p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). SE was comparable between groups (75.1 ± 13.8% vs. 73.5 ± 13.3 with MB vs. 73.1 ± 12.2 with RA; p = 0.19 and p = 0.39, respectively). The Rota-Cut combination resulted in higher minimal stent area (MSA) (7.1 ± 2.2mm2 vs. 6.1 ± 1.7mm2 with MB vs. 6.2 ± 1.9mm2 with RA; p = 0.003 and p = 0.004, respectively). In-hospital death occurred in one patient. Target vessel failure at 9 months was low and comparable between groups (8.2% vs. 8% with MB vs. 6% with RA; p = 1 and p = 0.79, respectively). CONCLUSION Rota-Cut combination resulted in higher ALG and larger MSA compared with historical control of RA or MB alone, but was not associated with higher SE. Despite extensive lesion preparation, this strategy is safe, feasible, and associated with favorable clinical outcome at 9 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at higher risk of adverse outcomes, but data are scarce in the era of newer-generation coronary stents. AIM We sought to compare the clinical outcomes after complex PCI with a bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) versus a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES). METHODS Patients (n = 2350) from BIOFLOW-II, -IV, and -V randomized trials were categorized into non-complex PCI vs. complex PCI. Complex PCI had at least one of the following criteria: multi-vessel PCI, ≥ 3 lesions treated, ≥ 3 stents implanted, total stent length ≥ 60 mm. Endpoints were target lesion failure (TLF: cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction [TV-MI], or target lesion revascularization [TLR]) and probable/definite stent thrombosis (ST) at three years. RESULTS Patients with complex PCI (n = 348) were older and presented more often with acute coronary syndrome than non-complex PCI patients (n = 2002). Complex PCI lesions were more often type B2/C and bifurcation lesions and required more pre- and post-dilatation. Complex PCI patients had higher rates of TLF (14.6% vs. 8.1%; aHR 1.89, 95% CI [1.31-2.73], p = 0.001), TV-MI (10.2% vs. 4.4%, aHR 2.17, 95% CI [1.40-3.37], p = 0.001), and ST (1.5% vs. 0.4%, p = 0.025) as compared with non-complex PCI. TLF was not lower with BP-SES as compared to DP-EES in complex PCI (12.6% vs 18.2%, p = 0.16). CONCLUSION Patients undergoing complex PCI with the newer-generation DES still sustain a higher risk of TLF, TV-MI and stent thrombosis as compared with non-complex PCI. This adverse outcome was not significantly modified by the stent platform (BP-SES vs. DP-EES).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility and safety of minimal-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using rotational atherectomy (RA) in patients with severe coronary calcification at high-risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS Twenty-six patients with advanced chronic kidney disease undergoing PCI with RA at three high-volume centres were included. Baseline intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed to assess lesion morphology, and to guide burr-, balloon-, and stent-selection. Final result was assessed by IVUS and angiographically. Feasibility and safety were determined by procedural and in-hospital complications, and efficacy was assessed by freedom from contrast-associated AKI after PCI. Procedural and in-hospital outcome was compared to a propensity-matched population of standard RA PCI. RESULTS Mean glomerular filtration rate was 32 ± 17 ml/min/1.73 m2. In seven cases PCI was performed in the setting of acute coronary syndrome. The left main coronary artery was treated in 27.8% and a two-stent bifurcation technique in 44.4%. RA was more often performed electively compared to the standard RA cohort (92.3 vs. 50%; p = 0.0016). Angiographic success was achieved in 100% and documented with a median contrast amount of 12.5 ml [Range 4-43]. No in-hospital death or myocardial infarction was reported. Contrast-associated AKI occurred in one patient versus five patients in standard RA group (p = 0.19). Shorter fluoroscopy time and lower radiation dose were achieved as compared to standard RA. CONCLUSION A minimal-contrast RA approach with IVUS-guidance for treatment of complex calcified coronary lesions is feasible and safe with high success rate.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions was associated with worse outcomes in the era of bare‐metal and first‐generation drug‐eluting stents. Data on percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions with newer‐generation drug‐eluting stents are scarce. Therefore, we investigated the impact of lesion calcification on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with a bioresorbable‐polymer sirolimus‐eluting stent or a durable‐polymer everolimus‐eluting stent. Methods and Results Patients (n=2361) from BIOFLOW II, IV, and V trials were categorized into moderate/severe versus none/mild lesion calcification by a core laboratory. End points were target‐lesion failure (TLF) (cardiac death, target‐vessel myocardial infarction, or target‐lesion revascularization) and probable/definite stent thrombosis at 2 years. The agreement in calcification assessment between the operator and the core laboratory was weak (weighted κ, 0.23). Patients with moderate/severe calcification (n=303; 16%) had higher TLF (13.5% versus 8.4%; P=0.003) and stent thrombosis rates (2.1% versus 0.2%; P<0.0001), whereas target‐lesion revascularization was not different between the groups (5.0% versus 3.9%; P=0.302). After adjustment, calcification did not emerge as an independent predictor of TLF (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.37; 95% CI, 0.89–2.08; P=0.148) but did for target‐vessel myocardial infarction (aHR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.03–2.68; P=0.037). TLF rates were similar between bioresorbable‐polymer sirolimus‐eluting stent and durable‐polymer everolimus‐eluting stent (12.6% versus 15.4%, P=0.482) in moderate/severe calcification. In none/mild calcification, the bioresorbable‐polymer sirolimus‐eluting stent showed lower TLF (7.5% versus 10.3%, P=0.045). Conclusions With newer‐generation drug‐eluting stents, moderate/severe lesion calcification was not associated with more TLF after adjustment for the higher risk of patients with coronary calcification, whereas the rate of target‐vessel myocardial infarction was higher. The bioresorbable‐polymer sirolimus‐eluting stent and durable‐polymer everolimus‐eluting stent were equally effective and safe in calcified lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In the randomized PREPARE-CALC trial, lesion preparation of calcified lesions with upfront rotational atherectomy (RA) prior to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation resulted in higher acute success as compared to a provisional modified balloon (MB) strategy. We aimed to investigate the impact of calcified lesion complexity on the treatment effect with either MB or RA. METHODS/MATERIALS Two hundred patients were randomized to lesion preparation with either MB or RA. The study population was stratified according to lesion complexity into at least one type-C lesion or into exclusively non-type-C lesions. Endpoints were strategy success, need for bail-out RA, acute lumen gain, and late lumen loss (LLL) at 9 months. RESULTS In total, 143 patients were graded as type-C (45% patients were allocated to MB), whereas 57 patients were graded as non-type-C (61% patients were allocated to MB). In patients with at least one type-C lesion, strategy success with RA was higher than with MB (97% vs 72%, p < 0.001), but superiority of RA was not observed in patients with non-type-C lesions (100% vs 97%, p = 1.00; pinteraction = 0.001). The need for bail-out RA was higher in patients with type-C lesions (n = 15) as compared with non-type-C lesions (n = 1). Acute lumen gain, LLL, and target lesion revascularization at 9 months were not dependent on lesion complexity and upfront lesion preparation strategy. CONCLUSIONS In patients with calcified non-type-C lesions, the treatment strategy with RA or MB before DES implantation results in comparable success rates, whereas in type-C lesions upfront RA appears to be the superior upfront strategy.

Abstract
Device success of earlier generation balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valves (BE-THV) is lower in patients with severe landing zone calcium (LZC). We sought to explore the impact of LZC on the outcome of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the next generation Edwards Sapien 3 BE-THV. In the present study, severe LZC was defined as severe aortic valve cusp calcium (AVC) and/or left ventricular outflow tract calcium (LVOTC) on computed tomography. Patients who underwent TAVI for pure/predominant aortic regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve disease, or failed bioprosthetic valve were excluded. Out of 350 patients who underwent TAVI with the Edwards Sapien 3 (age 80.7 ± 6.1, female: 45.1%, Society of Thoracic Surgeons score: 4.9 ± 3.8, transfemoral: 97.4%), 106 (30.3%) had severe LZC; 78 severe AVC (22.3%) and 49 severe LVOTC (14.0%). Severe LZC was associated with lower device success (96.2% vs 100%, p = 0.008) driven by more prosthetic valve regurgitation (PVR, p = 0.008). On multivariable analysis, PVR was associated with severe LVOTC (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 2.130 [1.092 to 4.158]) but not with severe AVC (1.529 [0.835 to 2.800]). Balloon predilatation (BPreD) was performed in 42.5% of patients with severe LZC (vs 19.3% in nonsevere LZC; p <0.001) and was associated with prolonged procedural time (p = 0.001) and higher irradiation exposure (p = 0.027). Device success (p = 0.311), major procedural complications (p = 0.132), 30-day safety end point (p = 0.815), and PVR (p = 0.684) were not significantly different between patients with severe LZC who underwent BPreD versus direct TAVI. In conclusion, device success of the third generation BE-THV is lower in severe LZC driven by more PVR, especially in patients with severe LVOTC. In those patients, BPreD prolonged the procedure without improving THV performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an established treatment of calcified lesions, but has some inherent procedural hazards. However, predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes after RA are poorly investigated. OBJECTIVE To explore the predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes after RA and to introduce the target vessel SYNTAX score (tvSS) as a potential causal variable. METHODS Patients who underwent RA at our center (n = 323) were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of in-hospital adverse outcomes (a composite of residual stenosis ≥30%, persistent slow flow, dissection requiring additional stenting beyond the primary lesion, perforation, burr entrapment, and in-hospital major adverse cardiac events [MACE]). RESULTS In-hospital adverse outcomes were more frequent in patients with severely-tortuous target vessels or lesions >20 mm, while aorto-ostial and bifurcation lesions, as well as chronic total occlusion rates, were equally distributed among patients with and without adverse outcomes. TvSS was 18 [13-24] vs. 12 [8-17] in patients with vs. without in-hospital adverse outcomes (p < 0.001). A tvSS cut-off value of 15 showed 73% sensitivity and 62% specificity for predicting in-hospital adverse outcomes. TvSS emerged as an independent predictor for in-hospital adverse outcomes along with bailout RA and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, after one year, the occurrence of in-hospital adverse outcomes was not associated with an increase in the MACE rate (log-rank p = 0.857). CONCLUSION In-hospital adverse outcomes are higher in patients with more complex target vessel anatomies as indicated by a higher tvSS. Bailout RA and reduced LVEF emerged as additional predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS The ultrathin-strut biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) is a new-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) developed to improve the percutaneous treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. Here, we sought to investigate whether the performance of the ultrathin-strut biodegradable polymer SES is superior to that of the benchmark thin-strut fluoropolymer-based everolimus-eluting stent (EES). METHODS AND RESULTS We undertook a study-level meta-analysis of trials in which patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly assigned to either SES or EES. Primary efficacy and safety outcomes were target lesion revascularisation (TLR) and definite/probable stent thrombosis (ST), respectively. Secondary outcomes were myocardial infarction (MI), death, target lesion failure (TLF) and target vessel failure (TVF). A total of 4,853 patients received a PCI with either SES (n=2,816) or EES (n=2,037) in six trials. After a weighted median follow-up of 12 months, patients treated with SES had a risk of TLR (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.24 [0.83-1.85], p=0.30), definite/probable ST (0.84 [0.53-1.33], p=0.45) and MI related to the target vessel (0.77 [0.55-1.07], p=0.12) comparable to that of patients treated with EES. We found no significant difference with regard to other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS At one-year follow-up, the ultrathin-strut biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent displays a performance comparable to that of the fluoropolymer-based everolimus-eluting stent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, and outcome of rotational atherectomy (RA) in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the use of RA in patients presenting with ACS. METHODS This analysis is from an observational registry, which enrolled all consecutive patients undergoing RA in a tertiary center. Between 2002 and 2015, 433 patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) were treated with RA. Within the same period, 108 patients with ACS (8 STEMI and 100 NSTE-ACS) were treated with RA. Procedural success was similar between the ACS and the SCAD groups (96.6% vs. 96.4%, P = 0.90), and no significant difference was observed in procedural complications (slow-flow: 0.8% vs. 2.8%, P = 0.32; coronary dissection: 6.8% vs. 7.2%, P = 1.00; coronary perforation: 0.8% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.69). In-hospital MACE rates were comparable (3.7% vs. 3.2%, P = 0.77). The risk of MACE within 24 months was higher in ACS patients (39.9% vs. 22.4%, log-rank P = 0.002; HR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.12-1.73; P = 0.003). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified left ventricular ejection fraction (HR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.85-0.99; P = 0.001), treatment with a BMS (HR 2.22, 95% CI: 1.15-4.25, P = 0.02) or early generation drug eluting stent (HR 1.99; 95% CI 1.09-3.64; P = 0.03), as well as ACS presentation (HR 1.53; 95% CI: 1.02-2.29; P = 0.04) as predictors of MACE at two years. CONCLUSIONS RA is technically feasible and safe in high risk patients presenting with ACS. However, successful application of RA did not mitigate the higher rate of long term cardiovascular events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the safety and efficacy of arteriotomy closure with the intravascular FemoSeal vascular closure device (VCD; St. Jude Medical) compared to manual compression in patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization via the common femoral artery. BACKGROUND There is limited evidence on the performance of individual contemporary VCDs compared to manual compression. METHODS This is a subanalysis of 3018 patients who underwent transfemoral diagnostic coronary angiography and were randomly assigned to arteriotomy closure with either the intravascular FemoSeal VCD or manual compression within the investigator-initiated, large-scale, randomized, multicenter, open-label ISAR-CLOSURE trial. Primary endpoint was the composite of access-site related vascular complications at 30 days. Secondary endpoints were time to hemostasis and repeat manual compression. RESULTS Vascular access-site complications were lower in patients assigned to the FemoSeal VCD compared to manual compression (6.0% vs 7.9%; P=.04), driven by a lower incidence of hematomas in the FemoSeal group (4.3% vs 6.8%; P<.01). Pseudoaneurysm rates were comparable in both groups (1.5% vs 1.5%; P=.88). Time to hemostasis was significantly shortened with the FemoSeal VCD compared to manual compression (0.5 min [IQR, 0.2-1.0 min] vs 10 min [IQR, 10-15 min]; P<.001). However, repeat manual compression was increased with the FemoSeal VCD (1.5% vs 0.7%; P=.03). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing transfemoral diagnostic coronary angiography, the use of the FemoSeal VCD is associated with shortened time to hemostasis and a reduction in vascular access-site complications driven by fewer hematomas when compared to manual compression.
