Routine ultrasonography reduces bleeding complications after endovascular therapy in patients with peripheral artery disease, suggesting a safer approach.
Routine ultrasonographic confirmation of femoral artery hemostasis was associated with fewer access site bleeding complications after EVT for PAD, particularly when larger (6 Fr) sheaths were used. Ultrasonographic evaluation may represent a simple and effective strategy to enhance procedural safety in femoral artery EVT.
