Perclose ProGlide Suture-Mediated Closure System (SMC) - LARGE-BORE PROCEDURES
Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of closure strategies post venous access procedures.
Hypothesis: We anticipate that the use of a venous closure device will decrease the time to hemostasis (TTH), time to ambulation (TTA) and time to discharge (TTD) compared to conventional methods of closure following venous access procedure.
