Abstract

After diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization, femoral artery closure devices offer quicker time to hemostasis, ambulation, and discharge than does manual compression. Nurses should understand how femoral artery closure devices work, the potential vascular complications that may occur with their use, and the recommended time to ambulation and discharge.
