Comparative Efficacy of Transradial Versus Transfemoral Approach for Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Nov 25, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Comparative Efficacy of Transradial Versus Transfemoral Approach for Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Transradial artery (TRA) approach is associated with fewer vascular complications and reduced mortality in patients at high risk compared with transfemoral approach (TFA). The objective of our study was to…

Effect of Left Versus Right Radial Artery Approach for Coronary Angiography on Radiation Parameters in Patients With Predictors of Transradial Access Failure

Nov 25, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Effect of Left Versus Right Radial Artery Approach for Coronary Angiography on Radiation Parameters in Patients With Predictors of Transradial Access Failure

Left transradial approach (TRA) for coronary angiography is associated with lower radiation parameters than right TRA in an all-comers population. The aim of this study was to determine the effects…

Effect of Fractional Flow Reserve (≤0.90 vs >0.90) on Long-Term Outcome (>10 Years) in Patients With Nonsignificant Coronary Arterial Narrowings

Nov 25, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Effect of Fractional Flow Reserve (≤0.90 vs >0.90) on Long-Term Outcome (>10 Years) in Patients With Nonsignificant Coronary Arterial Narrowings

We assessed the long-term (>10 years) clinical course of patients with documented coronary lesions deemed nonsignificant according to fractional flow reserve (FFR) assessment and investigated whether the initial FFR value impacted…

Angiographic Findings and Revascularization Success in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and Previous Coronary Bypass Grafting

Nov 25, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Angiographic Findings and Revascularization Success in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and Previous Coronary Bypass Grafting

Current guidelines recommend invasive coronary angiography and interventional revascularization in ST-elevation and Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI and NSTEMI). The aim of this study was to analyze culprit lesions and percutaneous…
