Study of bleeding after sheath removal in heart ICU
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what affects bleeding after removing a tube from an artery in the groin (femoral sheath) and how long people need to lie flat. It is for patients in a cardiac ICU who are having the sheath removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit.
- You are having a tube called a femoral arterial sheath removed (usually after a heart procedure).
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You are able to lie flat on your back for some time.
- You do not have a serious blood vessel injury at the sheath site.
- You do not have severe DIC (a bleeding condition).

This study looks at the best time to give a standard blood thinner (heparin) during a heart procedure called angioplasty, which opens blocked heart arteries through a wrist artery. It may help reduce bleeding or clotting risks.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding after a heart procedure through the groin: using a special pad or a sandbag. It aims to see which method works better and is safer.
This study looks at how often a temporary emergency heart catheter, called a central venous catheter, stays in and causes problems in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand when to remove such catheters.
This study looks at blood flow patterns in patients after non-emergency heart surgery to see if they relate to recovery in the ICU. It uses a special ultrasound to check blood vessels in the belly and leg.
This study looks at whether removing a central line (a tube in a large vein) in the ICU increases the risk of blood clots. It may help doctors understand how to prevent clots in ICU patients.
This study follows adults with very poor blood flow to the foot or leg (with wounds or severe pain) who are having a revascularization procedure to improve circulation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after treatment and improve care for people with critical limb ischemia.
