Efficacy and Time-To-Hemostasis of Antegrade Femoral Access Closure Using the ExoSeal Vascular Closure Device: A Retrospective Single-Center Study.

CONCLUSION: ExoSeal vascular closure of antegrade femoral punctures is safe and effective with a low complication rate. Two minutes of MC are sufficient to achieve hemostasis in the majority of cases. However, in patients on antiplatelet therapy, especially after abciximab, the authors advocate prolonging MC to 5 minutes. PMID: 25201516 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
