Comparison of methods to achieve artery closure following coronary angiography

(The JAMA Network Journals) Stefanie Schulz-Schupke, M.D., of the Deutsches Herzzentrum Munchen, Technische Universitat, Munich, Germany and colleagues assessed whether vascular closure devices are noninferior (not worse than) to manual compression in terms of access site-related vascular complications in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. The study appears in the Nov. 19 issue of JAMA, a cardiovascular disease theme issue.
