title: 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.
abstract: 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).
