Femoral access site closure without prior femoral angiography
2018
Aims and background
Although guideline recommendations have shifted towards a transradial route, femoral puncture is still an established vascular access, especially for complex coronary interventions. The FemoSeal™ vascular closure device (FVCD) helps to reduce femoral compression time and access site complications after removal of the catheter sheath. To ensure safe use, an angiography of the femoral artery prior to FVCD deployment is recommended by the manufacturer. We postulate that omitting this angiography does not relevantly increase the risk for vascular complications.
