Abstract Femoral artery pseudoaneurysms are usually the result of femoral artery cannulation for percutaneous cardiac or endovascular procedures. It causes compression of surrounding structures, may cause distal embolization, arteriovenous fistula…
In an original manuscript in this issue of Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine , Linda Lee et al. [ ] describe an innovative method of assessing the right forearm arterial circulation by…
Abstract Background Transradial coronary angiography/intervention (TRA/TRI) is associated with reduced rates of bleeding, vascular complications, and major adverse cardiovascular events as compared to the transfemoral approach, but remains underutilized in…
Abstract Background Stenting of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) generally results in good angiographic results and a decrease in transcoarctation pressure gradient. However, effect on blood pressure control is less…
We greatly appreciate the letter to the Editor by professor Deora [ ] and the interest in our article [ ]. It is true that treatment of female population and…
I have read with great interest the review “Strategies to increase the use of forearm approach during coronary angiography and interventions” written by Rigatou et al. [ ]. The authors…
Summary It has been shown that statins preloading, before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), may reduce the risk of cardiovascular outcomes for acute coronary syndrome patients. Nevertheless, the effect of such…
Abstract Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular disorder, occurring in up to 10% of the general population. Although surgery is the established treatment for primary MR, many patients…
Abstract Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds (BVS) have the potential for adaptive vessel remodeling, restoration of vasomotion, and late luminal enlargement, thus allowing them to circumvent target lesion failures associated with bare…
Abstract Urgent cardiothoracic surgical intervention for the management of complications of percutaneous coronary intervention is uncommon in the stent era. Nonetheless, given increasing procedural complexity, in part reflecting an aging…
