Vascular Closure Devices For Axillary Artery Access: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the technical success and complication rates of vascular closure devices (VCDs) in the axillary artery.

Materials and methods

MEDLINE and Embase were searched independently by two reviewers to identify observational studies from inception through October 2021. The following outcomes were meta-analyzed: technical success, hematoma, dissection, pseudoaneurysm, infection, and local neurological complications. Complications were also graded as mild, moderate, and severe. A logistic regression evaluating the influence of sheath size for the outcome of technical success rate was performed using individual patient-level data.

Results

Of 1496 unique records, 20 observational studies were included, totaling 915 unique arterial access sites. Pooled estimates
