Real-time ultrasound-guided hemostasis using suture-mediated closure device

초록

Purpose: Suture-mediated hemostasis device takes a long time to train and have limitations in finding appropriate compression point depending on the tactile sense of the hands. If the appropriate compression point is determined using ultrasound and the instrument is used under ultrasound guidance, it is expected to reduce the technical failure and additional manual compression. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 104 patients in whom the ProGlide vascular closure device (Abbott Vascular, Redwood City, CA, USA) was deployed to close common femoral artery access between January 2022 and June 2022. Ultrasound-guided hemostasis was performed in 54 patients and 50 conventional hemostasis was performed. We analyzed the medical records (procedure, patient body mass index, coagulation function, visual imaging, ultrasound imaging, time to achieve hemostasis) and post-treatment medical records (progress records, nursing records) to investigate the technical success rate and complications (hematoma, pseudoaneurysm formation, SFA occlusion, access site infection) of the procedure. Results: Technical success rate was 52/54 (Ultrasound guided group) and 47/50 (conventional group), respectively (p>0.05). Mean hemostasis time was 271s (US guided group) and 317s (conventional group), respectively (p>0.05). Additional manual compression was applied in 7/54 (US guided group) and 15/50 (conventional group) (p<0.05). In both groups, complications such as hematoma formation, access site infection and SFA occlusion did not occur. Conclusion: Using ultrasound guidance when using the suture mediated closing device reduces the frequency of additional manual compression without increased risk of complication.
