Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

BACKGROUND. Arterial access site complications remain the most frequent adverse events after percutaneous transluminal procedures. We investigated the safety and efficacy of the pro-coagulant wound dressing Neptune Pad ® compared to conventional manual compression for access site management after peripheral percutaneous interventions.

METHODS. We enrolled 201 consecutive patients and randomly assigned patients for Neptune Pad ® (n=100) vs. conventional manual compression (n=101). Patients were followed clinically until hospital discharge and by duplex ultrasound at 24 hours postprocedure for occurrence of access site complications. Time-to-hemostasis and time-to-ambulation were recorded, patients´ and physicians´ discomfort were measured using a visual analogue scale.

Study Groups

1

Neptune PAD utilization to accelerate closure of the vascular access site

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neptune P.A.D. (R)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Neptune Pad ® (Biotronik GmbH \& Co. KG, Berlin, Germany) is a soft and hydrophilic wound dressing, which has been developed to accelerate local hemostasis, reduce compression times, enable early ambulation and minimize the risk for bleeding complications. Neptune Pad ® consists of calcium alginate, which is cationically charged and exerts potent procoagulant properties.

2

manual compression for closure of the vascular access site

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

conventional manual compression

Intervention Type OTHER

The most common technique for puncture site management is manual compression. This technique requires an extended pressure on the puncture site, and after achievement of hemostasis a pressure bandage is applied for several hours at bed rest.
