Management of vascular complications following femoral artery catheterization with and without percutaneous arterial closure devices.
Percutaneous arterial closure devices allow earlier mobilization and discharge of patients after arterial catheterization than with manual compression for puncture site hemostasis. We reviewed our recent experience managing the complications of femoral artery catheterization with and without these devices on the vascular surgery service at a tertiary hospital. Thirty-one patients presenting over an 18-month period with complications after femoral artery catheterization with manual compression (n = 21) or percutaneous arterial closure devices (n = 10) were retrospectively reviewed.
