Abstract Background Patient presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) have extremely high mortality rates. Objectives We sought to assess the impact of prior revascularization by…
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 Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a major limitation of transradial catheterization (TRC). Two radial compression hemostatic devices are compared for their respective effects on RAO. Methods In…
Abstract Background The impact of patient obesity on scrub technologist radiation dose during coronary angiography has not been adequately studied. Methods Real-time radiation exposure data were prospectively collected during consecutive…
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…
