American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry St Mary s Hospital Tavris et al. J Invasive Cardiol 2004;16:459-464 Largest series reported to date 166,200 patients with 53,655 devices Lower incidence of vascular complications with ACDs in diagnostic angiograms but NOT PCI cases Lower vascular complication rate with collagen-based and suture-based products than manual compression in all patients
Nikolsky et al: Systematic Review 30 Studies, 37,0766 Patients Identified Primary endpoint was cumulative vascular complications No difference in complication incidence between Angio-Seal and mechanical compression Diagnostic setting (odds ratio [OR] 1.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.11 to 10.0) PCI (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.12) A trend toward less complications using Angio-Seal in a PCI setting (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.20 to 1.04; p=0.062)

Managing Complications Surgery for leg ischaemia" Embolisation; ensure macro disease corrected
Summary & Conclusions Latest data: ACDs seem to be associated with a reduction in vascular complications Earlier data possibly reflected new devices, less experience etc Likely highest impact in PCI on bleeding Consider closure in higher risk interventions Multi-disciplinary approach and early referral
