## Abstract The use of anchorβbased, collagenβderived vascular sealing devices in femoral vein punctures during right and left heart catheterizations or coronary interventions necessitating venous access for temporary pacemaker or hemodynamic monitoring has not been studied. We hypothesized that us
The objective of this study was to assess the initial safety and feasibility of a novel suture-mediated device for closure of femoral access sites immediately after diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization. In a prospective study, 150 patients (mean age, 61.5 years; 109 male) underwent f
