Background: Distal radial artery access (DRA) has been emerged as an alternative for conventional transradial arterial access. While palpation of is mandatory prior coronary angiography, it remains unknown the clinical impact in DRA success. Aim our study to explore whether palpability distal linked with higher rates successful Methods: We conducted a post-hoc analysis using data from two randomized-controlled trials on DRA. All patients available and cannulation’s success were included...
Distal transradial access (dTRA), through the anatomical snuffbox (AS) of hand, is a novel, potentially beneficial, vascular for patients undergoing coronary procedures.Consecutive with an indication angiography and/or percutaneous intervention (PCI) were enrolled in our tertiary center, from November 2018 to March 2019. The success rate procedure, incidence local complications, time required hemostasis, and radial artery occlusion (RAO) evaluated.Α total 167 catheterized dTRA (79.6% men,...
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...
Abstract Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedural details in swine are similar to those performed humans, since their heart anatomy closely resembles. However, only a few detailed descriptions of the procedure available, containing notable differences. We present feasible reproducible protocol for interventions porcine experimental models, utilizing ultrasound-guided femoral approach. Nine female pigs were studied explore feasibility superficial arterial...
The management of heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in real-world practice remains a debating issue, while the number HF patients with AF increase dramatically. While it is unclear if rhythm or rate control therapy more beneficial under which circumstances, anticoagulation cornerstone AF-HF patients' approach. Vitamin-K antagonists were gold-standard during past, but currently their usage limited specific conditions. Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have gained ground...
Background: Drug-coated balloons have been used as a non-stenting treatment in coronary and peripheral artery disease. Until recently, only sirolimus- paclitaxel-coated investigated clinical trials. We evaluated the safety efficacy of an innovative everolimus-coated balloon (ECB) swine model. Methods: thirty-two arteries were prepared through dilatation with non-coated angioplasty closed-chest During period 90 days, following four groups (four animals per group, two animal) compared for...
Abstract Background Distal transradial access (DRA) is increasingly performed for coronary angiography and interventions, due to lower incidence of radial artery occlusion, faster hemostasis decreased local complications rate. However, higher rates crossover other sites remains the major limitation DRA optimal technique achieving successful cannulation under investigation. Purpose Aim our analysis explore whether a palpable distal associated with cannulation. Methods We conducted...
Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) characterizes a congenital dysgenetic disorder of the optic disc, coexisting with arterial intracranial abnormalities, including Moyamoya vascular disease, significantly rare disease in European populations. We report 2.5-year-old female child from Greece previously diagnosed MGDA, who presented right-hand paresis, accompanied by focal epileptic spasms, followed an episode brief absence seizure, as well some arm clonic spasms. Magnetic resonance angiography...
A patient was referred for aortic valve replacement and aneurysm resection; however, the deemed to be non-resectable due severe calcification, thus posing a high operative risk. The eventually underwent transcatheter implantation. Eleven years later, coronary angiography depicted giant artery measuring 63 mm in diameter containing intraluminal thrombus. To our knowledge, this is largest reported literature.
