The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of the 2 treatment groups were similar (Table 2).

The primary and secondary safety endpoints were the rates of access site-related major and minor complications during follow-up
(Table 3). The major complication rates were clinically the same (0%) for VASCADE MVP and Manual Compression (MC). The
VASCADE MVP minor complication rate was numerically lower than for MC and clinically similar.
Table 3: AMBULATE As-Reported Major and Minor Closure-Related Complications, Number of Limbs with Each Event
Access Site Closure-Related Complications at 30 Days by Event
Any major venous access site closure-related complication
Access site bleeding requiring transfusion
Vascular injury requiring surgical repair
Access site infection confirmed and requiring intravenous antibiotics and/or prolonged
hospitalisation
New onset permanent access site-related nerve injury (i.e. persisting for > 30 days)
New onset access site-related nerve injury in the ipsilateral lower extremity requiring
surgical repair
Pulmonary embolism requiring surgical or endovascular intervention and/or resulting
in death
Pulmonary embolism NOT requiring surgical or endovascular intervention and/or NOT
resulting in death
Any Minor Venous Access Site Closure-Related Complication
Bleeding from the access site requiring > 30 minutes of continual manual compression
to achieve initial venous haemostasis
Access site-related haematoma > 6 cm documented by ultrasound
Delayed bleeding from the access site (following hospital discharge)
Ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis, confirmed by ultrasound/imaging
Localised access site infection confirmed and treated with intramuscular or oral
antibiotics
Arteriovenous fistula requiring treatment
Arteriovenous fistula not requiring treatment
Pseudoaneurysm requiring thrombin/fibrin adhesive injection or ultrasound-guided
compression
Pseudoaneurysm not requiring treatment
Access site-related vessel laceration
Access site wound dehiscence
Transient access site-related nerve injury
