This prospective randomized study was done to assess the safety of 4‐hr ambulation after diagnostic cardiac catheterization with 8 French sheaths and catheters. In this selected group of patients, we found that early ambulation could be done without an increase in access site complications. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
