Arterial closure devices offer comparable safety to manual compression for achieving haemostasis after arterial puncture. No single device demonstrates superiority, highlighting the need for careful selection based on clinical needs and device-specific factors.

Area of Science:

Vascular Surgery
Interventional Cardiology
Medical Device Technology

Background:

Arterial closure devices (ACDs) are increasingly used for haemostasis after arterial puncture.
Their adoption is driven by the need for efficient and safe methods to control bleeding.
A comprehensive understanding of available devices is crucial for clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To review currently available arterial closure devices.
To summarize the supporting literature on their efficacy and safety.
To compare the advantages, disadvantages, and mechanisms of action of various ACDs.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review of studies on arterial closure devices.
Analysis of device-specific technical aspects, learning curves, and ease of use.

Evaluation of complication rates and comparison with manual compression.

Main Results:

The safety profile of ACDs is comparable to manual compression.
No specific device has shown superiority over others in current literature.
Heterogeneous patient populations in studies necessitate caution in extrapolating evidence.
Off-label applications are emerging and require further investigation.

Conclusions:

Choosing an ACD requires consideration of clinical needs, device specifics, and potential complications.
While ACDs offer comparable safety, improvements are needed for an ideal device.
Further research is necessary to evaluate emerging applications and refine device design.
