Patients who underwent a single-catheter coronary angioplasty through the femoral artery in the groin area.
The participants had to read and write.
They had not taken analgesics in the last few hours and were free from any hematoma or infection on the skin surrounding the sheath site.
If the subjects declined to participate, they were eliminated.
If patients suffer from severe visual impairment, a changed mental state, skin conditions linked to cold sensitivity (such as Raynaud's disease), sensory-motor deficiency, diabetes, neuropathy, and scar tissue from burns, wounds, or other injuries surrounding the sheath site.
Patients have a two-sheath area in the femur.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Relieve the pain intensity that occurs after arterial sheath removal. Timepoint: When arterial sheath removal is immediately applied, an intervention for 20 minutes is applied, and the pain intensity is measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after that. Method of measurement: Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
