Insights

Manual compression is a safe and effective option for same-day discharge in patients undergoing lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) endovascular procedures using a 5F sheath. This approach avoids arterial closure devices and demonstrates good clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Endovascular Procedures

Background:

  • Lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) management often involves endovascular revascularization.
  • Same-day discharge protocols aim to improve patient flow and reduce healthcare costs.
  • Arterial closure devices are commonly used for femoral access hemostasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of manual compression for same-day discharge after 5F sheath endovascular LEAD revascularization.
  • To assess the in-hospital admission and 1-month rehospitalization rates.
  • To compare clinical and hemodynamic status post-procedure to baseline.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, national, multicenter, single-arm study (FREEDOM OP).
  • Inclusion of symptomatic LEAD patients (Rutherford 2-5) eligible for same-day discharge.
  • Primary endpoint: total in-hospital admission rate (including overnight surveillance and 1-month rehospitalization).

Main Results:

  • 114 patients included; mean age 66±10 years; 94% claudicants.
  • 97% technical success for femoropopliteal lesions; 4.5% major access-related complications.
  • 11% total in-hospital admission rate; no deaths or major cardiovascular events; significant clinical and hemodynamic improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Manual compression is a feasible and safe hemostasis method for same-day discharge in LEAD endovascular procedures.
  • This technique offers a viable alternative to arterial closure devices.
  • Patients experience significant clinical and hemodynamic benefits post-procedure.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

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...
