Effectiveness and safety of manual hemostasis facilitated by the SyvekPatch with one hour of bedrest after coronary angiography using six-French catheters

Manual hemostasis facilitated by a SyvekPatch with 1 hour of bedrest after coronary angiography using 6Fr catheters was evaluated in a study of 200 patients. There were no major adverse events and 2% minor adverse events, all of which were managed successfully with additional bedrest of 1 to 2 hours. The findings suggest that the 1-hour bedrest protocol using the SyvekPatch is safe and effective in low-risk patients.
