When can you walk after artery closure? new study seeks answer
NCT ID NCT07179536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how soon patients can safely walk after a leg artery procedure using a special closure device called ProGlide. Researchers will compare different waiting times in 300 people to find the best balance between quick recovery and avoiding complications like bleeding or bruising. The goal is to make the process more comfortable and efficient without increasing risks.

Inclusion Criteria: * Scheduled for peripheral angiography or endovascular intervention via transfemoral access. * Femoral artery puncture site located at the common femoral artery. * Use of 6-8F vascular sheath. * Hemostasis achieved with 6F ProGlide closure device (defined as no active bleeding, no hematoma formation, and no ischemia of the punctured limb after closure). * Preoperative ankle-brachial index (ABI) \> 0.9 on both sides. * Conscious, cooperative, and with normal lower limb mobility. Exclusion Criteria: * Undergoing carotid artery intervention. * Femoral artery diameter \< 5 mm, or effective lumen \< 5 mm due to plaque burden. * History of vascular complications at the puncture site. * Abnormal cardiopulmonary function. * Intraoperative platelet count \< 80 × 10⁹/L, or use of thrombolytic agents. * Cognitive impairment, uncooperative, or limited lower limb mobility.
