Abstract

Vascular Closure Devices (VCDs) are used internationally and were created to overcome traditional problems associated with manual compression. These devices act as an alternative to manual compression with the goal of decreasing access site complications. The safety and efficacy of VCDs continues to remain controversial, as research is limited.
