Abstract
This study prospectively compared immobilization time followed by use of a vascular hemostasis device (VasoSeal) versus manual compression t o achieve hemostasis at the arterial puncture after angiography and pe rcutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The trial shows t hat use of a vascular hemostasis device results in earlier mobilizatio n, even in highly anticoagulated PTCA patients compared with manual co mpression, with no statistically significant complications.
