Randomized Controlled TrialPrevention of intraprocedural puncture site bleeding during arterial port implantation by use of a suture-mediated arterial closure system: a prospective randomized trial.
To investigate a modified technique for arterial port placement that uses a suture-mediated closure system with the aim to reduce delays caused by intraprocedural oozing around the catheter. ⋯ Use of a suture-mediated closure system facilitated arterial port implantation by effective prevention of groin bleeding while allowing the use of a sheath.
