FAST trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study in participants needing hemostasis after femoral arterial puncture. All eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either manual compression or novel method without manual compression after femoral arterial puncture. This study is aimed to investigate if novel method without manual compression is noninferior to manual compression regarding access site complications.
The common femoral artery is the most frequently used access site in cardiovascular interventional therapy. Closure of the arteriotomy site is usually achieved by manual compression after femoral arterial puncture. There are many disadvantages of this standard method for hemostasis which is still related to high rate of access-site complications such as pseudoaneurysm, major bleeding, ipsilateral groin hematomas and so on. Several vascular closure devices are emerging as novel means for improving patient comfort and accelerating ambulation after invasive cardiovascular procedures performed via femoral arterial access, however, the cost performance and other aspects limit its wide application especially in developing countries. Actually the investigators found a novel method for femoral artery hemostasis without manual compression. After sheath removal, four or five sterile gauzes were overlaid layer by layer and then bandaged without the procedure of manual compression. FAST trial is aimed to investigate if the safety and efficacy of this novel method without manual compression is noninferior to the standard manual compression.

Novel method for femoral artery hemostasis without manual compression. After sheath removal, four or five sterile gauzes were overlaid layer by layer and then bandaged without the procedure of manual compression.
Standard method for femoral artery hemostasis with manual compression.After sheath removal, manual compression was continued for at least 10 minutes or until hemostasis. After that four or five sterile gauzes were overlaid layer by layer and then bandaged without the procedure of manual compression.
