Abstract
AIM To assess the effects of bed rest duration on short-term complications following transfemoral catheterization. METHODS & RESULTS A systematic search was carried out in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, SciELO, and in five registries of grey literature. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies comparing different duration of bed rest after transfemoral catheterization were included. Primary outcomes were hematoma and bleeding near the access site. Secondary outcomes were arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, back pain, general patient discomfort and urinary discomfort. Study findings were summarized using a network meta-analysis (NMA).Twenty-eight studies and 9217 participants were included (mean age 60.4 years). In NMA, bed rest duration was not consistently associated with either primary outcome, and this was confirmed in sensitivity analyses. There was no evidence of associations with secondary outcomes, except for two effects related to back pain. A bed rest duration of 2-2.9 hours was associated with lower risk of back pain (RR 0.33, 95%CI 0.17-0.62), and a duration over 12 hours with greater risk of back pain (RR 1.94, 95%CI 1.16-3.24), when compared to the 4-5.9 hours interval. Post-hoc analysis revealed an increased risk of back pain per hour of bed rest (RR 1.08, 95%CI 1.04-1.11). CONCLUSIONS A short bed rest was not associated with complications in patients undergoing transfemoral catheterization; the greater the duration of bed rest, the more likely patients were to experience back pain. Ambulation as early as 2 hours after transfemoral catheterization can be safely implemented. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero. Identifier: PROSPERO CRD42014014222.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The safety and efficacy of an initial intravenous bolus of low-dose heparin (40 IU/kg) was evaluated in biomarker negative patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND A bolus of 70-100 IU/kg of heparin is currently recommended for patients undergoing PCI. However, the ideal dose of heparin has not been evaluated in a randomized trial. The higher dose of 100 IU/kg may increase the risk of bleeding. An initial bolus of low-dose heparin may be advantageous to avoid supratherapeutic activating clotting times (ACT) while still allowing for the administration of additional heparin if the ACT is subtherapeutic. METHODS From January 2008 to February 2020, 904 patients undergoing elective transfemoral PCI received an initial bolus of 40 IU/kg of heparin. Patients who underwent transradial PCI were not included. Patients were routinely pretreated with dual antiplatelet therapy. The primary end point was the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), urgent target vessel revascularization (TVR) for ischemia, or major bleeding within 30 days after PCI. RESULTS The initial mean activating clotting time was 235.4 ± 26.6 s. The clinical event rates were low: the primary end point occurred in 5.3%, cardiac death in 1.0%, MI in 3.1%, urgent TVR in 0.7% and major bleeding in 1.9%. Stent thrombosis was uncommon (0.2%). No patients developed profound thrombocytopenia. Three patients (0.3%) had acute limb ischemia that required revascularization. CONCLUSION An initial strategy of low-dose heparin is associated with low ischemic and bleeding complications in biomarker negative patients who undergo transfemoral PCI.

Abstract
Background Immobilisation of patients after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) is the standard of care, mostly to prevent vascular complications. However, immobilisation may increase post-operative complications such as delirium and infections. In this trial, we determine whether it is feasible and safe to implement early ambulation after TF-TAVI. Methods We prospectively included TF-TAVI patients from 2016 to 2018. Patients were assessed for eligibility using our strict safety protocol and were allocated (based on the time at which the procedure ended) to the EARLY or REGULAR group. Results A total of 150 patients (49%) were deemed eligible for early mobilisation, of which 73 were allocated to the EARLY group and 77 to the REGULAR group. The overall population had a mean age of 80 years, 48% were male with a Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) score of 3.8 ± 1.8. Time to mobilisation was 4 h 49 min ± 31 min in the EARLY group versus 20 h 7 min ± 3 h 6 min in the REGULAR group (p < 0.0001). There were no differences regarding the primary endpoint. No major vascular complications occurred and a similar incidence of minor vascular complications was seen in both groups (4/73 [5.5%] vs 6/77 [7.8%], p = 0.570). The incidence of the combined secondary endpoint was lower in the EARLY group (p = 0.034), with a numerically lower incidence for all individual outcomes (delirium, infections, pain and unplanned urinary catheter use). Conclusion Early mobilisation (ambulation 4–6 h post-procedure) of TF-TAVI patients is feasible and safe. Early ambulation decreases the combined incidence of delirium, infections, pain and unplanned urinary catheter use, and its adoption into contemporary TAVI practice may therefore be beneficial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal time of ambulation post cardiac catheterization (CC) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) done from the femoral artery is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine whether early (3 hrs) ambulation post CC/PCI is as safe as standard (6 hrs) ambulation time. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study comparing the vascular complications rate (bleeding, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm formation) among patients who underwent CC, alone or concomitant with PCI, from the femoral artery and who were ambulated after 3 or 6 hrs. RESULTS The study population consisted of a total of 262 patients, 147 were ambulated after 3 hrs and 115 were ambulated after 6 hrs. There were no differences between the two groups with respect to age, gender, body mass index, prior history of cardiac events, as well as the indication for performing the current CC/PCI. The rate of vascular complications was similar between the two groups (2.7% vs 2.6%, p=0.97). All vascular complications were managed conservatively and non required surgical intervention. CONCLUSION In this retrospective observational study, both early (3 hrs) and standard (6 hrs) ambulation after CC/PCI from the femoral artery had a similar and low rate of vascular complications. Cardiac catheterization laboratories need to be encouraged to adopt an early ambulation policy post CC/PCI from the femoral artery to improve patient comfort and expedite patient discharge from the hospital.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To explore the effect of bed rest duration after sheath removal following percutaneous coronary interventions on the incidence of vascular complications, back pain and urinary problems. BACKGROUND According to the literature, the duration of bed rest after sheath removal following percutaneous coronary interventions ranges from 2-24 hours. Several studies have assessed the effect of duration of bed rest on vascular complications, but a clear final conclusion about the exact duration of bed rest has not been reached. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, IranMedex and IranDoc were searched. No language limitation was applied. RCTs that used two different periods for ambulation were included. Two reviewers separately assessed the quality of each included study and extracted the data. Dichotomous outcomes were recorded as odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. RESULTS Five studies involving 1115 participants were included in the review. Among them, two studies had three comparison groups. The studies considered a variety of periods as early and late ambulation, ranging from 2-10 hours. Totally, there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula and urinary problems between early and late ambulation. There was a statistically significant reduction in the risk of haematoma formation at four to six hours of bed rest compared with eight hours of bed rest (odds ratio = 0·37, 95% CI: 0·15, 0·91). Back pain was reported in one study evaluating three hours of bed rest with an odds ratio of 0·45 (95% confidence interval: 0·28, 0·71) when compared with 10 hours of bed rest. CONCLUSIONS Early ambulation after percutaneous coronary interventions is safe and feasible; however, the results should be used with caution as the majority of included studies had methodological flaws. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The results of this study suggest that patients could be ambulated three to four hours after sheath removal following percutaneous coronary interventions and early ambulation dose does not increase the risk of vascular complications, but it moderates back pain occurrence.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study systematically examined previous studies on the effect of early ambulation on vascular complications in subjects who had just undergone a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and analyzed the effects of early ambulation on both hemorrhage and hematoma formation at the puncture site. METHODS Study data were analyzed using the R (version 2.13.1) program. Publication bias was verified via regression analysis, using the logarithm of the odds ratio (OR) and sample size, and a funnel plot using sample size. The risk ratio of the incidence of bleeding and hematoma formation at the puncture site, relative to early ambulation, was confirmed using ORs and the forest plot. RESULTS The PCI recipients' bed rest time had no significant effect on the risk ratio of hematoma formation (OR = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.68-1.17) nor the incidence of bleeding (OR = 1.14; 95% CI = 0.77-1.7) at the puncture site. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective study's findings show that early ambulation following PCI had no effect on the incidence of either hematoma formation nor bleeding at the puncture site; however, differences in demographic factors should be considered carefully, in order to avoid interpreting the results too broadly.

Abstract
Background—
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a day-case setting might reduce logistic constraints on hospital resources, but data on safety are limited. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after PCI.
Methods and Results—
Eight hundred consecutive patients scheduled for elective PCI by femoral approach were randomized to same-day discharge or overnight hospital stay. Four hours after PCI, patients were triaged as suitable for early discharge or not. Suitable patients were discharged immediately or kept overnight, according to randomization. Patients with an indication for extended hospital stay were not discharged regardless of randomization. Primary end points were death, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, repeat PCI, or puncture-related complications occurring within 24 hours after PCI. A total of 403 patients were assigned to same-day discharge, of whom 77 (19%) were identified for extended observation; 397 patients were assigned to overnight stay, of whom 85 (21%) were identified for extended observation. Among all patients, the composite primary end point occurred in 9 (2.2%) same-day discharge patients and in 17 (4.2%) overnight stay patients (risk difference, −0.020; 95% CI, −0.045 to −0.004;
P
for noninferiority <0.0001). Among patients deemed suitable for early discharge, the composite end point occurred in 1 of 326 (0.3%) same-day discharge patients and 2 of 312 (0.6%) overnight-stay patients (risk difference, −0.003; 95% CI, −0.014 to 0.007;
P
for noninferiority <0.0001). The last 3 events were related to puncture site.
Conclusions—
Same-day discharge after elective PCI is feasible and safe in the majority (80%) of patients selected for day-case PCI. Same-day discharge does not lead to additional complications compared with overnight stay.

Abstract
Stent thrombosis is the major cause of early adverse events during percutaneous coronary intervention. Its incidence has fallen considerably in recent years, principally due to the introduction of effective antithrombotic therapies. The selection of an appropriate antithrombotic regimen is critical in achieving a balance between reducing ischaemic events and minimising bleeding complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. In this article, evidence for the role of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies is discussed, including the thienopyridines, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, direct thrombin inhibitors and pentasaccharides.

Abstract
This chapter about antithrombotic therapy during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is part of the seventh ACCP Conference on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy: Evidence Based Guidelines. Grade 1 recommendations are strong and indicate that the benefits do, or do not, outweigh risks, burden, and costs. Grade 2 suggests that individual patients' values may lead to different choices (for a full understanding of the grading, see Guyatt et al, CHEST 2004;126:179S-187S). Among the key recommendations in this chapter are the following: For patients undergoing PCI, we recommend pretreatment with aspirin, 75 to 325 mg (Grade 1A). For long-term treatment after PCI, we recommend aspirin, 75 to 162 mg/d (Grade 1A). For long-term treatment after PCI in patients who receive antithrombotic agents such as clopidogrel or warfarin, we recommend lower-dose aspirin, 75 to 100 mg/d (Grade 1C+). For patients who undergo stent placement, we recommend the combination of aspirin and a thienopyridine derivative (ticlopidine or clopidogrel) over systemic anticoagulation therapy (Grade 1A). We recommend clopidogrel over ticlopidine (Grade 1A). For all patients undergoing PCI, particularly those undergoing primary PCI, or those with refractory unstable angina or other high-risk features, we recommend use of a glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa antagonist (abciximab or eptifibatide) [Grade 1A]. In patients undergoing PCI for ST-segment elevation MI, we recommend abciximab over eptifibatide (Grade 1B). In patients undergoing PCI, we recommend against the use of tirofiban as an alternative to abciximab (Grade 1A). In patients after uncomplicated PCI, we recommend against routine postprocedural infusion of heparin (Grade 1A). For patients undergoing PCI who are not treated with a GP IIb-IIIa antagonist, we recommend bivalirudin over heparin during PCI (Grade 1A). In PCI patients who are at low risk for complications, we recommend bivalirudin as an alternative to heparin as an adjunct to GP IIb-IIIa antagonists (Grade 1B). In PCI patients who are at high risk for bleeding, we recommend that bivalirudin over heparin as an adjunct to GP IIb-IIIa antagonists (Grade 1B). In patients who undergo PCI with no other indication for systemic anticoagulation therapy, we recommend against routine use of vitamin K antagonists after PCI (Grade 1A).

Abstract
Clinical trials have shown that coronary stenting is associated with a high level of complications at the access site. Arterial sealing devices have proven their efficacy in obtaining immediate hemostasis after sheath removal, in allowing early ambulation, and in improving patient comfort. However, there is no report showing a reduction of local complications related to their use. The purpose of this multicenter study was to compare randomly the efficacy of Angio-Seal versus compression methods of hemostasis in reducing the rate of access site complications after coronary angioplasty in 612 selected patients with higher risk of local events satisfying at least one of the following high-risk criteria: age > 70, previous puncture at the same site, history of hypertension, treatment with ticlopidine at least 2 days before the procedure, use of abciximab, 8 Fr access, prolonged heparin treatment after the angioplasty, and use of lytics if fibrinogen > 1 g/l. Group A (n = 306) had immediate sheath removal, Angio-Seal implantation, and cessation of bed rest 4 hr after the intervention. Group B (n = 306) had sheath removal according to local practice and cessation of bed rest 6-18 hr after the hemostasis procedure, also according to local practice. Clinical follow-up was done at 1 hr, 4 hr, 24 hr, discharge, and 7 days and a systematic color flow duplex sonography was performed to confirm diagnosis of access site complication. In group A, device deployment and immediate hemostasis were obtained in, respectively, 96.8% and 87% of patients. Time to hemostasis was shorter in group A: 5 vs. 52 min (P < 0.001). Cessation of bed rest was dramatically reduced in group A (438 +/- 450 min) vs. group B (952 +/- 308 min; P < 0.001). The cumulative rate of complications, using a composite primary endpoint, at 7 days was significantly different between the two groups: 5.9% of group A patients and 18% of group B patients (P < 0.001). This difference was mainly due to the dramatic reduction of prolonged bleeding in group A patients. Angio-Seal device use in high-local-risk patients allows immediate sheath removal and hemostasis with a reduction of local event rate despite a higher level of anticoagulation, compared to regular compression techniques, directly related to a dramatic decrease of prolonged bleeding.

Abstract
We tested the approach of reversing anticoagulation following PCI and immediate sheath removal in 429 consecutive patients. On completion of the PCI, protamine was administered, and the vascular sheath was immediately removed. Stents were used in 364 patients (85%) and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors were used in 52 patients (12%). Time to achieve hemostasis was 30 +/- 17 min. Minor groin bleeding occurred in six patients. One patient required repair of femoral pseudoaneurysm. Mean creatine kinase at 8 and 16 hr post-PCI were 129 +/- 35 and 145 +/- 32 units, respectively. Creatine kinase rose to > 3 times normal in 12 out of 350 patients (3.4%). Prior to 48 hr, eight patients (1.9%) required emergency PCI or coronary bypass surgery. Follow-up at 30 days observed no deaths and only three target vessel revascularizations (0.7%). In conclusion, immediate reversal of anticoagulation and sheath removal after PCI is safe and feasible.

Abstract
Immediate removal of the femoral artery sheath after coronary angioplasty may allow rapid mobilization and reduces the number of in-hospital days. We studied the early and 1-month clinical and angiographic follow-up of patients having heparin reversed with protamine after implantation of phosphorylcholine-coated metal (Divysio) stents, followed by removal of the femoral artery sheath. Fifty patients (37 men, mean age 59 +/- 10 years) with stable angina pectoris and a single totally occluded artery (1 unprotected left main stem, 15 left anterior descending, 11 left circumflex, 23 right) underwent coronary angioplasty. Antithrombotic medication was salicylic acid 75 to 160 mg before, heparin bolus 7,500 IU during, and protamine sulfate 25 mg and oral ticlopidine 250 mg after the procedure. Angiography was performed after 30 minutes and at 1 month. The mean number of stents was 1.4 +/- 0.6/lesion, with a mean final diameter of 2.69 +/- 0.40 mm. One stent thrombus was detected after 30 minutes and was treated with balloon dilatation. One patient underwent emergency bypass surgery for non-stent-related problems. Forty-six patients were mobile after 5 hours, and 2 after >5 hours. At 1 month there had been no major coronary end points, rehospitalizations, groin bleeding, or more thrombi. One episode of transient pulmonary edema occurred after protamine injection. Thirty-eight patients (79%) had no angina at 1 month, maximal bicycle exercise capacity increased from 128 +/- 42 to 160 +/- 45 W (p <0.05), and left ventricular ejection fraction increased from 63% to 68% (p <0.05). Thus, reversal of heparin with protamine sulfate after implantation of a phosphorylcholine-coated stent enables early mobilization. This approach seems safe in patients with 1 -vessel total occlusions and angioplasty could be performed as an outpatient procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether immediate suture closure of 8F femoral arterial puncture sites can facilitate same-day discharge after coronary angioplasty. METHODS AND RESULTS After coronary angioplasty, 100 patients were randomly assigned to immediate sheath removal with the double-suture Prostar-Plus device or delayed sheath removal with application of a c-clamp. After suture closure, mobilization at 4 hours after sheath removal and discharge 4 hours later were planned. Patients treated with the c-clamp had sheaths removed 4 hours after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, were mobilized 6 hours later, and discharged the following day. Patients were assessed for groin complications at 8, 24, and 72 hours. Overall, patients who received suture closure were mobilized at 7.1 +/- 5.3 hours and discharged 11. 15 +/- 6.22 hours after sheath removal versus 15.49 +/- 3.9 hours and 21.9 +/- 3.8 hours for patients with the c-clamp (P <.001). Initial failure of the suture device occurred in 5 patients, with 1 requiring surgery for an entrapped device. After the procedure, patients with suture closure more frequently had an ooze of blood (55% vs 24%, P <.001) and a trend to more overt external bleeding (10% vs 2%, P = not significant). Hematomas were reported by 20% of patients in both groups at 72 hours. Overall, patients preferred the suture closure method of sheath removal when assessed by a simple questionnaire. An economic analysis by cost minimization demonstrated potential hospital cost saving. CONCLUSIONS Suture closure of 8F arterial puncture sites can facilitate early mobilization and same-day discharge and is considered acceptable by more patients compared with application of the c-clamp. There is potential to realize cost savings with a strategy of same-day discharge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of ambulation of patients two hours after elective coronary angioplasty or stenting, or both. METHODS Coronary angioplasty and stenting were performed using 6 F guiding catheters by the femoral approach and a standard dose of heparin 5000 IU. There were no angiographic exclusion criteria except for planned atherectomy. Patients given oral anticoagulants or heparin were not eligible. All patients were given aspirin. Patients who underwent stent implantation also received ticlopidine 250 mg daily. The arterial sheath was removed immediately after the procedure. Haemostasis was achieved by manual compression and maintained with an inguinal compression bandage. Early ambulation was attempted after two hours of supine bed rest following removal of the bandage. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The incidence of bleeding at or during ambulation requiring compression and additional bed rest, and puncture site complications documented 48 hours after the procedure. RESULTS 300 of 359 consecutive eligible patients were included for two hour ambulation. Stent implantation was performed in 32% of the procedures. The mean (SD) time to haemostasis was 9.6 (3.2) minutes. Bleeding at ambulation occurred in five patients (1.7%), and nine patients (3.0%) reached the secondary end point of haematoma > 5 x 5 cm at 48 hour follow up. All were treated conservatively without further sequelae. There was no late bleeding or vascular complications. CONCLUSION Ambulation two hours after elective balloon angioplasty or stent implantation with 6 F guiding catheters by the femoral route and low dose heparin is feasible and safe, with a low incidence of puncture site complications. This early ambulation protocol facilitates a short hospital stay.

Abstract
The German Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions in Private Practice has started a registry of cardiac procedures since 1996 in order to establish a standard for performance. Although quality management for the cath lab makes sense and is also legally required, there is no generally recommended infrastructure for quality assurance existing in Germany at this time. Therefore, the German Society of Cardiologists in Private Practice (BNK) initiated a project in 1994 to develop a computer program for paperless documentation of diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and coronary interventions (PTCA) using a minimal data set. In 1996, 8 private associated groups participated in this project. The (anonymous) analysis of 10,316 diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and 2597 PTCA yielded the following results: In 95% of the patients, diagnostic cardiac catheterization was performed using the femoral and in 5% the brachial/radial approach. The mean volume of administered contrast medium was 164 +/- 138 ml/patient. The mean LV-EF was greater than 50% in 58.4% of the patients and between 30% and 50% in 10.1%. Coronary artery disease was diagnosed in 69.6% of the patients and valvular/congenital heart disease in 8.5%. In 18.4% of the patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterizations no significant heart disease was identified. Mortality in the cath lab as well as the rate of cerebral insults was 0.05%. In 22.9% and 19% of the patients PTCA and cardiac surgery respectively was recommended. In patients undergoing PTCA, stable angina was present in 74.4% and unstable angina in 13.1%. Of the total number of PTCA procedures, 5.8% were performed in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. The PTCA lesion success rate was 96%, the mean diameter stenosis was 81% pre and 6% post-intervention. The mortality rate at 1 month post-PTCA was 0.4%, and myocardial infarction 1.0%. An acute occlusion occurred in 1.3% of the PTCA patients; 0.6% had to be transferred for emergency bypass surgery. None of the cath labs had on-site surgery. In comparison to other registries, our data show some similarities but also some different trends. Thus, our newly developed software proved to be reliable, fast and easy to use. Participating centers receive immediate feedback regarding their position within the whole group.
