The use of the closure device for femoral venous access after PVI led to safe discharge of patients within 6 h from the intervention in 96% of the population. This approach could minimize the overcrowding of healthcare facilities. The gain in post-operative recovery time improved patients' satisfaction and balanced the economic cost of the device.
