Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the hemostatic efficacy of a novel electric femoral artery compression device in patients who underwent percutaneous endovascular procedure through femoral artery puncture. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1,086 patients treated with the electric compression device (ECD) and/or vascular closure device (VCD) for hemostasis of femoral catheterization sites. The clinical success of hemostasis and complications of femoral artery puncture site were collected and analyzed. Results: A total clinical success rate of 84.8% was achieved. Minor complications occurred in 161 of 1,086 patients (14.8%), and major complications occurred in 4 of 1,086 patients (0.4%). Combined application of ECD and VCD showed a lower rate of complications than using ECD or VCD alone in patients who underwent treatment of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulant. Conclusion: ECD is a safe and effective tool for hemostasis in femoral artery puncture site in percutaneous endovascular procedure with high clinical success and low complication rates.
