To share our experience with the left distal radial approach for transradial coronary angiography and interventions. By performing puncture in fossa radialis or so called anatomical "Snuffbox" we aimed to present feasibility complications of this new technique.Left artery was used as an access site 54 patients admitted clinic intervention between May 25th October 20th 2017. All them had pulse their artery. In laboratory, they arm gently flexed at shoulder that hand placed over right groin....
Background: This study aims to retrospectively analyze in-hospital mortality rates in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and identify independent risk factors contributing increased mortality. Materials Methods: Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study was conducted at the Cardiolo-gy Clinic of Aktif International Hospital between January 1, 2023, December 30, 2024. A total 694 ACS were included study. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, imaging data collected. Independent...
Objective: To compare radial vasomotor functions at three different access sites namely right, left main artery, and distal (LDR) artery.Study Design: Observational study.
Radial endothelial dysfunction may occur after transradial coronary angiography (CAG). This study aimed to make a comparative evaluation of the radial functions before and catheterization between three different access sites: left (LR) artery, distal (LDR) right (RR) artery.Seventy patients scheduled for elective CAG intervention from September 6, 2017 March 2018 were consecutively enrolled. artery arm measured by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) upon admission, at 24 hours, 2 months...
Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor often overlooked in clinical practice. For this reason, we planned to LVH-TR (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Turkish Population) trial determine the aetiological causes and demographic characteristics of LVH patients.Methods Our study was a multicentre, national, observational included 886 patients who applied cardiology clinics 22 centres between February 2020 August 2021. In initial evaluation,...
Left distal radial artery access site has emerged as a new technique for coronary angiography procedures.We aimed at assessing its applicability an alternative way primary percutaneous interventions in ST-elevation myocardial infarction.Retrospective observational cohort study.Left was used 30 consecutive infarction patients intervention. It by experienced operators who were unaware of the study. All had prominent pulse their left forearm and artery. Each patient’s arm gently bent into...
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the awareness of pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13, PPSV23) in general cardiology outpatient clinics and impact physicians’ recommendations on rates. Methods: This was a multicenter, observational, prospective cohort study. Patients over age 18 from 40 hospitals different regions Turkey who applied clinic between September 2022 August 2021 participated. The rates were calculated within three months follow-up admitting patient clinics. Results: 403 (18.2%) patients...
Left distal radial artery (LDRA) has got high popularity as an alternative safe access site in coronary angiography. However, little is known about its applicability primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI) ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We aimed to assess the convenience of LDRA STEMI patients and make comparative evaluation with transfemoral (TF) route.A total 91 consecutive who underwent PPCI from January June 2019, were analyzed. Experienced operators,...
Abstract Background and Aim: Using thrombolytics in intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE) patients or not is a controversial issue. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy complications of half-dose alteplase low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) administration PE with risk. Material Methods : The diagnosed at Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital between 01.01.2016 – 13.02.2023 were included study. after establishment Pulmonary Embolism Team (EGEPET) (2.10.2018) formed...
Introduction: Hypertension is a systemic disease characterized by high blood pressure and an important threat for the population, as it common can cause serious complications. Genetic environmental factors are involved in its development like recently defined genetic risk factor ARHGAP42 that encodes Rho GTPase activating protein 42. In study, intronic rs604723 (C/T) gene polymorphism of was investigated relation to arterial stiffness. Methods: Peripheral samples, taken from 63 study group...
The article delves into the significance of incorporating omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber-rich foods one's diet, all which have been associated with a lower risk atherosclerosis heart attacks.
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Although there is not enough data on pneumococcal vaccination status in patients with cardiovascular disease and or risk factors our country, it known that rates are quite low the current data. Purpose We aimed to evaluate awareness (PCV13, PPSV23) general cardiology outpatient clinics impact physician’s recommendation (with educational brochures) rate. Methods Awareness vaccination, before COVID-19 pandemic, was...
Abstract Valve perforation complicating infective endocarditis has been for decades a bad sign leading to severe valve destruction, intractable heart failure and even death if surgical therapy is not administered in time. Here we present 57 years old male patient inadvertently diagnosed with pneumonia chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation another hospital. After 20 days of broad spectrum antibiotics bronchodilator no improvement was achieved. During examination aortic...
Amaç: Aterosklerotik değişikliklerin ve endotel disfonksiyonunun patogenezi karmaşık çok faktörlüdür. Kandaki elektrolitlerden magnezyum fosfat mineralleri aterogenez fonksiyon bozukluğunun patofizyolojisinde yer alan önemli minerallerdir. Endotel fonksiyonu değerlendirmede en kabul görmüş akım aracılı vazodilatasyon testidir. Çalışmamızda, koroner arter hastalığı olan hastalarda magnezyum/fosfat oranı ile fonksiyonları arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç Yöntem:...
Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are rare cardiac anomalies.They frequently arise from the right coronary (RCA) with originating left anterior descending (LAD) or multiple arteries being less common.They do not usually cause symptoms and incidentally diagnosed on routine imaging.We report a 70 years old male patient presenting chest pain syncope during physical activity.Diagnostic angiography revealed bilateral CAF both LAD RCA.As high blood flow output was recognized in these large vascular...
In the presence of tricuspid valve intervention, implantation right ventricle lead can be hazardous for malfunction and to regurgitation. Few cases have been reported with successful left ventricular pacing via coronary sinus (CS) after replacement. We represent a 43 year old female patient who had implanted DDD-R permanent pacemaker CS due symptomatic bradyarrhythmia soon triple (aortic, mitral tricuspid) stenosis 6 years ago (Fig. 1). aimed highlight an uncommon life threating complication...
Compared to transfemoral coronary angiography (CAG), transradial CAG has been associ¬ated with less access site complications, shorter hospitalization, better patient comfort, and early mobilization. However, the use of radial in may also cause entry compli¬cations. Radial pseudoaneurysm after is a rare complication reported than 0.1% procedures. In this report, we present 78-year-old who was diag¬nosed right artery by Doppler ultrasonography treated nonsurgically
