Comment on: Effects of time of bed rest on vascular complications after cardiac catheterization in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease

I read with interest “Effects of time of bed rest on vascular complications after cardiac catheterization in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease”.1 This manuscript was wholesome to read, and the author's efforts are admirable. Pediatric cardiac catheterization, which is performed by accessing the femora l vessel, requires immobilization and bed rest for 4–6 h to prevent vascular complications. But the studies show that bed rest can be reduced to 2 h without any vascular complications.
