Arteriespidsen kan fjernes, når koagulationen er vendt tilbage til det normale, svarende til at aktiveret koagulationstid (ACT) er mindre end 180 sekunder (almindeligvis 2- 6 timer efter seponering af heparin).
Arterial sheaths may be removed when coagulation has returned to normal (e. g., when activated clotting time [ACT] is less than 180 seconds (usually 2-6 hours after discontinuation of heparin).
