Objective: Particularly with the transfemoral access, potential complications at the puncture site with early exercise are a major concern. The purpose of this study was to compare femoral artery access site complications after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in 1) patients following a standard care procedure and 2) performing treadmill electrocardiographic (ECG) stress testing within 24 h after application of the Angioseal™ vascular closure device.
Methods: This is a prospective, randomised, single-center cohort study conducted in a high-volume tertiary interventional heart centre in Duisburg, Germany. 221 patients were included and 200 entered analysis. Patients were randomly assigned to treadmill testing within 24 h after transfemoral seven French (F) PCI or discharged with the recommendation of limited exercise for two we.. View More»
