Quick takeaways

The KELT closure device has revolutionized outpatient-based lab (OBL) procedures by allowing for quicker and more efficient procedures without the need for prolonged bed rest or post-procedure monitoring.

The KELT closure device significantly improves the patient experience by enabling faster recovery times, reducing discomfort, and minimizing the risk of complications such as hematomas or pseudoaneurysms.

The KELT closure device offers high levels of technical precision and safety, providing easy deployment, control over placement, and minimal risk of dislodging plaque.

Benefits of Using the KELT Device in the OBL Setting

Using the KELT device in the outpatient-based lab (OBL) setting has proven to be a game changer. The device allows for quicker procedures as there is no need for prolonged bed rest or post-procedure monitoring. This helps increase efficiency and throughput in the OBL. Additionally, the KELT device provides a more predictable and secure closure, which is crucial in the OBL where patients rely on the expertise of the physicians without the same level of backup as in a hospital setting.

SHOW NOTES

We begin the episode by discussing how closure devices have evolved over recent years and gained popularity in both hospital and OBL settings. Dr. Hussain and Dr. Saleh highlight the logistical advantages associated with a consistent, reliable closure device. Both doctors speak about their patients’ reported experiences and preferences for different types of closure devices and the importance of having a variety of options at hand.

Dr. Saleh and Dr. Hussain also introduce the new CELT ACD closure device from Vasorum. We learn how to place a CELT, and Dr. Saleh highlights the ease of deployment and the reliability of results. Dr. Hussain also shares his experience in using the CELT, comparing its deployment to a “mic drop”. Additionally, we discuss if there are any potential drawbacks or special considerations that may exist in using CELT compared to other devices.

The doctors cover the time from CELT closure to ambulation/discharge, citing an abstract published in Journal of Vascular Surgery (see resources below). Dr. Hussain and Dr. Saleh also report very few closure-site complications when using CELT, good outcomes with calcified arteries, and ease of bailout options. To conclude the episode, we discuss how physicians can get CELT and other products into their hospital or OBL through the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) scores, and other methods.
