Successful Reduction of Surgeries Secondary to Arterial Access Site Complications: A Retrospective Review at a Single Center with an Extravascular Closure Device
Background: Access site complications requiring emergent surgery following femoral catheterization expose patients to additional morbidities and mortality. We observed a significant decrease in such surgeries after the Mynx device was introduced. Methods: A retrospective review of surgeries performed as a complication of 6F & 7F femoral cardiac and peripheral catheterization was done. Rates of surgeries among 3 closure methods were compared during the study period July 2006 to July 2008 (Mynx, AngioSeal, and manual/mechanical compression). Results: Of 11 006 6F &7F transfemoral catheterization procedures, 26 (0.24%) surgeries secondary to access complications resulted. Surgeries were done in 14 (0.61%) AngioSeal patients, 10 (0.19%) manual/mechanical compression, and 2 (0.06%) Mynx patients (P < .0001 vs AngioSeal, P = .14 vs compression). Conclusions: Significant reduction in surgeries was seen in the Mynx vs Angioseal patients, no difference was noted in compression subset. Further analysis is warranted to prospectively evaluate these findings.
