Comparison of effects of a thrombin-based femoral artery closure device with those of a mechanical compression device on serum C-reactive protein and amyloid A after percutaneous coronary intervention.
The present study evaluates whether the closing procedure of the femoral artery after percutaneous coronary intervention influences the degree of inflammation related to the procedure as measured by C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA). A thrombin-based device (Duett sealing device) was compared with a mechanical compression device (FemoStop).
