Venous vascular closure system vs. figure-of-eight suture following atrial fibrillation ablation: the STYLE-AF Study

Abstract

Following AF ablation, the use of a VCS results in a significantly shorter time to ambulation, time to haemostasis, and time to discharge eligibility. No major vascular access-related complications were identified. The use of MC and a figure-of-eight suture showed a trend towards a higher incidence of minor vascular access-related complications.
