Safety of multi-access site venous closure following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and flutter
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology(2024)
摘要
Following catheter ablation, vascular access management involves potential complications and prolonged recovery. Recently, suture-mediated closure (SMC) devices were approved for venous access procedures. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of a commercially available SMC for multiple access site venous closure by duplex ultrasound (DUS) in asymptomatic subjects with non-visible complications. Thirty-six subjects (63 ± 10.7 years old, 12 female) were enrolled. Following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, all subjects had SMC of every venous access site. Subjects underwent DUS of femoral veins and arteries. DUS was performed at discharge, and again at 30 days. Subjects were evaluated for clinically apparent vascular complications. Mean procedure duration was 138.6 min, and the time to hemostasis was 3.1 min/access site and 9.5 min/subject. Median time to ambulation was 193.5 min, and median time to discharge was 5.95 h, with discharge as early as 2.4 h. A median of 2 sheaths/vein and a median of 2 SMC devices/vein were used. There were no major complications and a 16.7
