Summary
The StatSeal® disc effectively achieves hemostasis in patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography on uninterrupted oral anticoagulation therapy. This adjunct hemostasis method demonstrated short times to complete hemostasis without increased bleeding risk.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Vascular Access
- Hemostasis
Background:
- Patients on chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy face high bleeding risks during cardiac catheterization.
- Transradial coronary angiography necessitates effective hemostasis strategies for patients on OAC.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the StatSeal® disc for adjunct hemostasis.
- To assess hemostasis times in patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography under uninterrupted OAC therapy.
Main Methods:
- A study included 180 patients undergoing transradial cardiac catheterization without OAC interruption.
- Patients received periprocedural unfractionated heparin (UFH).
- The StatSeal® disc was used for adjunct hemostasis.
Main Results:
- Complete hemostasis was achieved in 71.1 ± 13.0 minutes.
- Patients on novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) showed shorter hemostasis times compared to warfarin users.
- No significant differences in bleeding events or radial artery occlusion were observed.
Conclusions:
- The StatSeal® disc provides effective adjunct hemostasis in patients on uninterrupted OAC therapy.
- The use of StatSeal® is associated with short times to complete hemostasis.
- This method is safe and effective for transradial coronary angiography in OAC patients.

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
