To compare femoral access site closure techniques and to highlight risk factors for puncture site complications after lower extremity endovascular procedures.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 787 patients. Procedures were performed according to a standardized protocol. Puncture site complications within 24 hours were regarded as study end points.
Results:
Ninety (11.5%) puncture site complications were registered. Conventional manual compression (n = 87, 11.1%) was significantly associated with puncture site complications (odds ratio [OR] 2.08, P = .03). Body mass index > 25 kg/m2 (OR 0.54, P = .01) and prothrombin time > 70% (OR 0.38, P = .04) were protective. All bleeding occurred in procedures >45 minutes. Blood pressure >200 mm Hg and below the knee (BTK) procedures were strong predictors for access site complications (OR 4.21, P = .01 and OR 3.33, P = .02).
Conclusions:
We observed an inferiority of conventional manual compression. Age, procedure duration > 45 minutes, BTK procedures, uncontrolled hypertension, and impaired coagulation were risk factors.
