Background: The shorter time to hemostasis in patients who undergo transradial cardiac catheterization may reduce the complications, cause less pain, facilitate early discharge, and improve patient satisfaction. Objective: This trial aimed evaluate if SoftSeal‐STF (Chitogen Inc., Plymouth, MN) with manual compression alone or combination a radial device (RCD) would compared RCD only (Vasc Band). Methods: We enrolled 300 four arms, including compression, Vasc Band (standard of care), TR Band,...
In this manuscript, we summarise the experience of Greece during post-pandemic influenza season 2010/11 from 04 October 2010 to 22 May 2011. The spread disease and its impact were monitored using multiple surveillance systems, such as sentinel surveillance, virological all-cause mortality surveillance. We also focus on characteristics laboratory-confirmed severe cases who required admission an intensive care unit (ICU) (n=368), and/or with a fatal outcome (n=180). influenza-like illness rate...
The aim of the study is to evaluate current trends and long-term durability both drug-eluting stents (DES) drug-coated balloons (DCB) in treatment peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Purpose: Dual antiplatelet therapy is standard for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stents. Traditionally, swallow the loading dose of a P2Y12 inhibitor before or during PCI. Time to achieve adequate platelet inhibition after swallowing varies significantly. Chewed tablets may allow more rapid aggregation. However, data this strategy in stable ischemic heart disease non-ST-elevation acute syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are less robust.
Abstract Background Atherectomy use in treatment of femoropopliteal disease has significantly increased despite scant evidence benefit to long‐term clinical outcomes. Aims We investigated the benefits atherectomy over standard for interventions. Methods Using data from Society Vascular Surgery's Quality Initiative (VQI) registry, we identified patients who underwent isolated interventions occlusive disease. compared 13,423 treated with 47,371 receiving treatment; both groups were allowed...
Introduction: Contemporary data on clinical presentation and outcomes of constrictive pericarditis (CP) in a community setting is lacking. We investigated the spectrum CP real-world setting. Hypothesis: Diagnosis contemporary practice difficult frequently requires multimodality testing, with possible impact outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort patients surgically proven from January 2000 to December 2009 was studied. Baseline characteristics, presentation, radiological imaging, cardiac...
Introduction : In a push to treat STEMI patients with primary PCI within 90 minutes of door-to-balloon time, medical institutions have developed emergency cardiac catheterization laboratory activation protocols that bypass other routine clinical assessments. This has raised concerns about more frequent catheterizations in who may not need them. Our study objective was determine the incidence, predictors and prognosis false-positive STEMI. Methods We studied prospective cohort diagnosed...
A 76-year-old man underwent direct aortic CoreValve® (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). After successful implantation of the CoreValve, a transoesophageal echocardiogram showed mean and peak gradients 5 14 mmHg, respectively, along with mild valvular paravalvular regurgitation. Prior to discharge from hospital, transthoracic …
