Article Synopsis
- Vascular access complications are common in catheter ablation procedures for ventricular arrhythmias, and the impact of vascular closure devices (VCDs) on these complications is unclear.
- This study analyzed 1,016 catheter ablation procedures over four years, categorizing cases based on the use of VCDs: none (manual compression), partial use, or complete use.
- Results showed that the use of VCDs, especially complete VCDs, significantly reduced the rate of vascular complications compared to manual compression and partial use of VCDs.
