Vascular surgery. Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
The main goal of a Vascular Closure Device is to provide rapid hemostasis of the artery as well as reduce access site complications. VCD's also help reduce time to ambulation and time to hospital discharge. In addition, VCD's are more comfortable for the patient compared to manual compression.
