Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does femoral angiogram prior to arteriotomy closure device reduce vascular complications in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Answer: We found no evidence that performing an FA prior to ACD placement as recommended by the manufacturer had any influence on the clinical success rate of ACD placement or rates of VCs. Therefore, ACD use without FA guidance in patients undergoing CA/PCI is an equally safe and effective method in successfully obtaining hemostasis without an increased risk of VCs.
Output (English): no
