Distal transradial access (dTRA) by the snuffbox approach for coronary catheterization has emerged as an alternative to classic forearm TRA with certain advantages and limitations.The aim of this study was evaluate effectiveness safety dTRA exclusively from right arm. Forty-nine consecutive patients (31 males 18 females, mean age 64 ± 12 years), who were candidates in two cath laboratory centers, regardless indication, recruited. Right used. Radial artery patency both at region evaluated 24...
Abstract Background/Introduction Patients with Heart Failure preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) have impaired diastolic function that plays a major role in the syndrome΄s pathophysiology . Several studies imply these patients also suffer from left ventricular systolic dysfunction as assessed by Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) estimation Other show of General Myocardial Work (GMW) is associated function. Purpose The aim our study evaluation echocardiography indexes HFpEF patients. Methods...
Abstract Background/Introduction Left Atrial (LA) End Systolic Diameter (ESD) and atrial Volume index (LAVi) are used for the evaluation of dystolic dysfunction diagnosis patients with Heart Failure preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). Recent studies imply that left strain rate is an myopathy . Also other a relationship between right function clinical status in HFpEF patients. Purpose The aim our study these echocardiography indexes Methods We enrolled 50 subjects (25 25 control subjects)....
Background: We examined the procedural outcomes of chronic total occlusions (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with prior artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods and Results: compared clinical, angiographic characteristics 3486 CTO performed (n=1101) without (n=2317) CABG at 21 centers. Prior (32% cohort) were older (67±9 versus 63±10 years; P <0.001) had more comorbidities lower left ventricular ejection fraction (50% [40–58] 55% [45–60]; <0.001). The target...
Abstract Background When crossing into the distal true lumen fails during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), subintimal plaque modification (SPM) is often performed to restore antegrade flow and facilitate subsequent lesion recanalization. Methods Between January 2012 May 4, 2019, 4,659 CTO PCIs were included in PROGRESS‐CTO registry, of which 935 (20%) had a prior unsuccessful attempt. Of those patients, 119 (13%) SPM. We analyzed outcomes 58 SPM...
Aims: We aimed to demonstrate whether coronary microvascular function is improved after ticagrelor administration compared clopidogrel in STEMI subjects undergoing thrombolysis. Methods and results: MIRTOS a multicentre study of versus treated with fibrinolysis. enrolled 335 patients <75 years old eligible for thrombolysis, whom 167 were randomised receive 168 together Primary outcome was the difference post-PCI corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). All clinical events recorded three-month...
Guidewires and microcatheters are critical to the success of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Abstract Background Proximal cap ambiguity is a key parameter in the global chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) crossing algorithm. Methods We examined baseline characteristics and procedural outcomes of 9718 CTO PCIs performed 9498 patients at 41 US non‐US centers between 2012 2022. Results was present 35% lesions. Patients whose lesions had proximal were more likely to have prior artery bypass graft surgery (37% vs. 24%; p < 0.001). Lesions with...
BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with post–coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) has a high diagnostic accuracy for visualization of grafts. Invasive coronary (ICA) CABG is associated increased procedural time, contrast agent administration, radiation exposure, and complications, compared non-CABG patients. The aim this multicenter, randomized controlled trial was to compare the strategy CCTA-guided ICA versus classic prior CABG. METHODS: Patients were...
