Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Vascular complications after removal of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) have been reported to occur in up to 15% of patients. Vasoseal, a vascular hemostasis device (VHD), has been shown to be safe and effective in rapidly achieving hemostasis after a cardiac catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention. We propose that similar results can be obtained with the VHD when removing an IABP. However, it is necessary to first gain first the experience of deploying the VHD without insertion of a guidewire. We studied 10 patients in whom Vasoseal was utilized after an IABP was removed. The primary endpoint was a composite of major or minor bleeding, infection, and any vascular complication at 7 days. The time to achieve hemostasis was also assessed. There was not a single episode of bleeding, infection, or vascular injury at 7 days. The time to hemostasis ranged between 8 and 17 min (mean, 12.9 min). This VHD can be utilized safely and efficaciously when removing an IABP.
