Efficacy and safety of a new hemostatic wound dressing following diagnostic heart catheterization
نویسنده
چکیده
Inadequate hemostasis and bleeding are frequent complications after surgical procedures and medical interventions (for example, after a percutaneous heart catheterization). To stop bleeding during coronary interventions, in addition to mechanical arteriotomy closure devices, many products are used that aid manual compression and/or activate the coagulation cascade. The goal of this study was to clinically prove the efficacy and safety of a new wound dressing. We treated 100 patients after their coronary angiogram using the Hematrix® Active Patch on the arterial puncture site
