Analysis of predictive and preventive factors for access complications associated with vascular closure devices in complicated endovascular procedures
Abstract
Purpose: The main goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of angioseal and starclose vascular closure devices (VCDs) in high-risk patients under intensive anticoagulation who require therapeutic angiographic procedures and to discuss which factors are important in complications associated with VCDs. Materials and methods: Medical records of the patients who underwent therapeutic complex interventional vascular procedures were reviewed retrospectively. One hundred sixty-six patients were divided into two groups regarding VCDs used for access-site closure after the procedure: group 1, (angioseal); group 2, (starclose). Data including patients’ demographics and comorbidity information, procedural characteristics, and complications were analyzed. Results: The device deployment success rate was 100%. For the procedural characteristics, there was no significant difference between the groups except access site (P = 0.016) and sheath size > 6F (P = 0.0001). No major complications had occurred in none of the patients. Minor complications including hematoma, access-site pain, and access-site infection, except prolonged hemostasis did not differ significantly between groups. The patients’ demographic and periprocedural factors were not significantly correlated with the development of complications. Conclusion: Contrary to published reports, our study showed that demographic and periprocedural factors may not be responsible for the vascular access-site complications associated with VCDs. © 2021, Japan Radiological Society.

Vascular patterns in nonmelanocytic tumors
Erdemir, V.A.; Uysal, P.I.; Aksu, A.E.K.; Erfan, Gamze; Leblebicize, G.; Gürel, M.S. (CRC Press, 2017)There are many reports on vascular morphologies of nonmelanocytic skin tumors because dermoscopy allows a rapid horizontal view of vascular structures that cannot be observed by inspection. The general recommendation for ... -
