Abstract
A 70-year-old female with a history of hypertension developed chest pain and was admitted to a local hospital. Heparin was administered intravenously. Later that day, she underwent coronary angiography, which showed a critical stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. The lesion was treated with angioplasty and stent placement. The right femoral artery sheath was left in place overnight, and heparin was continued. The following morning after stopping heparin, the sheath was removed and a femostop device was placed over the groin for 4 h. Heparin was then restarted.
