This study assessed the advantages and shortcomings of methods for hemostasis in patients who had received angiography after
femoral arterial puncture using manual, compression devices and a combination of manual and compression device. In addition,
the success rates, complications, etc. were analyzed. One hundred and eighty patients who had undergone angiography after
femoral arterial puncture were divided into three groups according to the method of hemostasis. For group A, immediately
after angiography, Angioseal was placed in the punctuation area and compressed using a compression device. For group B,
after angiography, the punctuation area was compressed with the hands directly. For group C, the punctuation area was
compressed using a compression device for approximately 10 minutes, and the punctuation area was then compressed with the
hands. The results showed a similar time to hemostasis regardless of gender or generation. The correlation between the
hemoglobin value, platelet value, and the time to hemostasis was not significant. Group A showed the shortest mean time to
hemostasis of the three groups (20.37 ± 8.23 minutes). No complications caused by the hemostasis method were detected in
group B. Group A showed the highest incidence of complications caused by hemostasis.
