Key Points

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the LockeT suture retention device for venous closure after large-bore access.
Single-center experience
Assessment of procedural success rates
Analysis of hemostasis and ambulation times
Monitoring of complication rates
High procedural success with LockeT
Rapid hemostasis achieved
Early ambulation post-procedure
Low complication rates observed

Abstract

In this single-center experience, LockeT demonstrated high procedural success, rapid hemostasis, early ambulation, and low complication rates for venous closure following EP procedures requiring LBVA. These findings support LockeT as a feasible and effective venous closure strategy in contemporary EP practice, though prospective studies with comparator groups and longer follow-up are warranted.
