About the VASCADE Vascular Closure System and RESPECT Study
There are over 6 million interventional procedures a year in the United States alone, and bleeding at the access site remains the number one source of complications for these patients. The VASCADE Vascular Closure System is the only closure system to demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in access site complications in a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial called RESPECT. The RESPECT study included 420 patients at 20 U.S. centers, comparing VASCADE to manual compression for femoral arterial closure.
