Background: Mechanical closure of percutaneous femoral arteriotomies following catheter based procedures remains problematic.
Methods: The EVS closure device is the first to utilize a staple to effect arteriotomy closure and was compared to manual compression following sheath removal in a 362 patient randomized (2:1 to device) multicenter trial. As pre-specified, one half of the patients underwent coronary intervention.
