Comparison of standard vs modified "figure-of-eight" suture to achieve femoral venous hemostasis after cryoballoon based atrial fibrillation ablation.

The mFoE suture using three-way stopcock is an available, effective, maybe safe, and time- and cost-saving alternative technique to achieve immediate hemostasis after removal of 15 Fr right femoral venous sheath in patients undergoing cryoablation.
