A randomized comparison of modified subcutaneous “Z”‐stitch versus manual compression to achieve hemostasis after large caliber femoral venous sheath removal

Abstract

The "Z"-stitch is a safe and effective method of achieving hemostasis after large bore femoral venous sheath removal and results in faster hemostasis, early patient ambulation and less access site complications, without compromising vein patency when compared with manual compression alone. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
