- This report summarizes our initial experience with QuikClot Interventional Hemostatic Bandage (QCI) under thrombocyte aggregation inhibition following interventional procedures using 8 French (Fr) catheters or larger, and investigates the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of procedures conducted on 27 patients.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent QCI application after interventional procedures using 8 French (Fr) catheters or larger between 16.02.2021 and 20.01.2025 at a tertiary referral center.
Results
Of the 27 patients included, 20 were male. The mean age was 69 ± 10.2 years, and the mean BMI was 24.6 kg/m2 (± 4.1 kg/m2). 15/27 of the procedures performed were peripheral interventions for peripheral arterial disease. The most common access sheath size was 8 Fr (23/27), and the maximum size was 14 Fr. The technical success rate of the QCI application was 100%. In all patients, a false aneurysm (FA) in need of revision could be excluded viaThis report summarizes our initial experience with QuikClot Interventional Hemostatic Bandage (QCI) under thrombocyte aggregation inhibition following interventional procedures using 8 French (Fr) catheters or larger, and investigates the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of procedures conducted on 27 patients.

The most common access sheath size was 8 Fr (23/27), and the maximum size was 14 Fr. The technical success rate of the QCI application was 100%. In all patients, a false aneurysm (FA) in need of revision could be excluded via sonography. QCI-associated complication rate was 3.7 %. One surgical revision was performed within the first 30 days. One case of mortality (1/27) was unlikely to be associated with the VCD.
Conclusion
The present study demonstrated that using QCI for access-site closure is easy and effective in combination with manual compression and a pressure bandage, even in cases of large-bore arteriotomies (≥8Fr) and under thrombocyte aggregation inhibition.…
