Management of bleeding at the femoral vascular access site following percutaneous catheterization is of paramount importance. Traditionally, manual or mechanical compression has been the standard approach to achieve hemostasis.

Intracoronary stents have been a major milestone in interventional cardiology ever since two large, randomized trials1,2 documented that they reduced restenosis and repeat revascularization rates and increased event-free survival at 6 months....
