title: [First experience with the use of a clip device for closure of arterial approach after endovascular treatment of coronary arteries].
abstract: Aim of the present study was assessment of the StarClose Vascular Closure System - novel device for mechanical closure of femoral artery puncture site. We included in this study 29 patients in whom after procedure of endovascular treatment puncture site was closed with the given device. Control group comprised 34 patients in whom hemostasis was conducted by way of manual compression of puncture site according to standard technique. Femoral artery was clipped immediately after completion of the stenting procedure irrespective of the last result of activated partial thromboplastin time measurement. Success of the use of the StarClose was 100%. Activation of a patient was undertaken substantially earlier compared with the group of manual hemostasis. Sitting up in bed was performed in 2 hours after completion of hemostasis procedure compared with 16 hours in control group, walking within ward was started in 3.5 hours compared with 17 hours in control group ( < 0.0001 in both cases). Duration of the procedure of hemostasis was substantially smoller in the group of closing device compared with the group of manual hemostasis (1.7 and 23 min, respectively). With this no complications from the site of puncture were observed in the group of closing device. In the group of manual hemostasis one patient (2.9%) had hematoma nor requiring special treatment and in one more patient (2.9%) after violation of bed regimen minor bleeding occurred from puncture site (was eliminated by additional manual compression for 20 min). Total number of complications in the group of manual compression was 5.8%. Thus compared with traditional manual hemostasis. The use of StarClose clip device allows to activate patients after endovascular treatment substantially earlier.
