We have examined our prospectively collected experience with femoral artery closure devices. Vasoseal (n β«Ψβ¬ 937), Angioseal (N-742), and Techstar (n β«Ψβ¬ 1001) were utilized consecutively in our laboratory for diagnostic and interventional femoral artery closures. Complications were compared to a si

To investigate the hemostatic capabilities of a novel vascular sealing device consisting of a balloon catheter and procoagulant, vascular sheaths were placed percutaneously in the femoral arteries of dogs. The sealing device was evaluated using the balloon catheter alone in six femoral arteries and
Coronary catheter interventional procedures are associated with risk of access site complications. We report our experience with Angio-Seal'", an implantable hemostasis device, when used in the femoral artery after coronary angioplasty procedures. Sixtyeight patients were studied. Their average age
