Abstract

In the historical development of cardiac catheterization, the main complications have been the cardiac and vascular ones. In the practice the first ones are already solved, but the worry persists for vascular complications derived from the percutaneous arterial puncture.
The technical implement of catheters of smaller caliber with better biocompatibility, faster explorations, and the intubators and contrasts with less harmful effects to blood vessels, allow to reduce the times of immobilization after cardiac catheterization. In fact, we could start the mobilization of the most patients 7 hours after the procedure.
The advances in hemostasis have been relevant because of the different systems of percutaneous arterial closure. In this work, we discuss about one of them, the most frequently used in our hospital. The Perclose® system consist of a canister that lodges needles and threads of suture that ties from the outside and advances towards the surface of the femoral artery through a special advancing device.
