Abstract
Femoral access remains a vital route for many cardiac and non-cardiac procedures, including those involving the use of large delivery systems. In the common femoral artery access is extremely important to minimise complications and optimise use of closure devices. Dissatisfaction with haemostasis achieved by manual compression stimulated development of VCDs that provide quick and…

Manual compression has been the gold standard for obtaining haemostasis at the femoral artery access site since being introduced in conjunction with the Seldinger technique in the 1950s.1 However, the limitations of manual compression, including patient discomfort, delayed haemostasis and ambulation and bleeding at the access site despite satisfactory initial haemostasis, have spurred the…

Advances in transcatheter structural heart interventions and temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) have led to increased demand for alternative sites for large-bore vascular access.1 Percutaneous axillary artery (AA) access is an appealing alternative to standard femoral access when the patient has iliofemoral peripheral arterial disease (PAD), obesity or there is an expected device…
