Accelerated ambulation after vascular access closure device

Patients who are candidates to receive an Angioseal？ (St. Jude Medical) device for arteriotomy closure are allowed to ambulate 20 min after the deployment of the device. More frequently, however, patients are kept on bed rest for several hours following Angioseal？ deployment. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess patients when ambulating 20 min after Angioseal？ deployment instead of prolonged best rest of 2–3 h
