ISAR-CLOSURE: FemoSeal and ExoSeal versus manual compression after femoral access

Previous studies with vascular closure devices showed shorter hemostasis and less downtime post-procedure. This study compared the safety and efficacy of two vascular closure devices (FemoSeal and ExoSeal) versus manual compression. The work included 4524 patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography using a 6 Fr introducer, randomized 1: 1: 1 to FemoSeal, ExoSeal or manual compression. Both closures were not inferior to the manual compression in terms of vascular access complications. The FemoSeal trended lower vascular complications and length of the hemostasis than ExoSeal.
