N2 - We report the safety and efficacy of sealing the femoral puncture site with percutaneously applied collagen after Palmaz-Schatz stent implantation in 100 consecutive patients. Patients were anticoagulated with continuous heparin infusion, overlapping oral anticoagulants, and antiplatelet therapy by dextran, aspirin, and dipyridamole. At the time of sheath removal and collagen application, the mean activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time values expressed as international normalized ratio were 3.2 ± 2.1 and 1.6 ± 0.7, respectively. The hemostasis time ranged from 1 to 8 minutes (mean 2.18 ± 2.08 minutes). Only two (2%) patients had major puncture-site bleeding (not seal related in one case) that required surgery and blood transfusions. Small (
