Application of the new blood vessel suture device Starclose in coronary interventional procedure for senile patients

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of blood vessel suture device, Starclose, in coronary interventional procedure for senile patients. Methods Among the 204 senile patients who underwent coronary interventional procedure, Starclose was used in 110 who patients served as a suture group, and manual compression hemostasis was used in 93 patients who served as a control group. Hemostatic time, immobilization time of the lower extremities, and total incidence rate of operation-related complications in both groups were recorded, respectively. Results No difference was found in the success rate for hemostasis between the two groups （P＞0.05）. The hemostatic time and immobilization time of the lower extremities were shorter in suture group than in control group （P＜0.01） while the operation-related complication rate was significantly higher in control group than in suture group （P＜0.05）. Conclusion Starclose has a rather good efficacy and safety when applied in the interventional diagnosis and treatment of coronary heat disease of senile patients.
