Coronary AngiographyNCT03142126
Accelerated Ambulation After Vascular Access Closure Device
A study testing Early ambulation with Angioseal closure device in people with Coronary Angiography and Heart Catheterization, run by Henry Ford Health System.
Trial summary
The researchers are seeking to study whether or not there is benefit in keeping patients flat after Angioseal for extended periods of time after diagnostic heart catheterization or if a more aggressive approach of early ambulation would be just as safe while improving cost and patient comfort.

About this study
Official title: Angioseal Groin Management After Left Heart Catheterization
The researchers are seeking to study whether or not there is benefit in keeping patients flat after Angioseal for extended periods of time after diagnostic heart catheterization or if a more aggressive approach of early ambulation would be just as safe while improving cost and patient comfort.
Read the detailed description
Diagnostic left heart catheterization is the gold standard to assess coronary anatomy. A number of post procedure closure devices have been used in order to be able to ambulate patients after the procedure. Without closure device of the arterial sheath the typical time a patient must lay flat following a diagnostic left heart catheterization at Providence hospital is approximately six hours. This extended time of having to lie flat for the patient is both uncomfortable and time consuming for hospital employees.
The Angioseal closure device is a vascular plug that has been approved by the FDA in order to seal the femoral artery arteriotomy and allow for a faster ambulation time after cardiac catheterization. Currently, the Angioseal device has been approved for ambulation times of 20 minutes after diagnostic left heart catheterization but a more conservative approach is typically used after device. A very common strategy after Angioseal is to keep the patient flat for 2 hours prior to ambulation and then to keep the patient another hour after ambulation for observation of the femoral site.
While a conservative strategy may be considered safer to the operator the Angioseal device has already been approved for an early ambulation strategy. The goal of this study is to reaffirm the safety and efficacy of using Angioseal for early ambulation. If early ambulation is performed it could improve patient comfort and even reduce cost.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Early ambulation with Angioseal closure device in people with Coronary Angiography and Heart Catheterization, run by Henry Ford Health System.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Failure of device to achieve hemostasis (time frame: 20 minutes after procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03142126, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2025.
