The results of our meta-analysis showed that there was no difference in the risk of access site pseudoaneurysm and fistula between FoE and manual pressure. FoE was associated with lower risk of access site hematoma and bleeding compared with manual pressure. Our results reiterate the safety and feasibility of FoE suture for venous access closure.
