Trends point to more and more PCIs being performed via the wrist, but the US still trails behind other countries.

Although enthusiasm for transradial access for neurointerventional procedures has grown, a unique set of considerations bear emphasis to preserve safety and minimize complications. In the first part ...

Methods and results: We report an uncommon but critical complication of acute right coronary artery occlusion resulting from valve dislocation during TAVR. For the first time, we employed novel ...

Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease Patients with diabetes mellitus have more extensive atherosclerosis with more plaques susceptible to the breakdown that causes the artery to block and cause heart ...

HCV Procedure Surgical Techniques A number of minimally invasive techniques have been developed to anastomose the LIMA to the LAD. Minimally invasive direct CABG (MIDCAB) refers to LIMA harvest ...

ABSTRACT Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) has considerable benefits over the conventional coronary artery bypass grafting procedure. This case report presents the ...

The no-touch (NT) technique is a novel method for harvesting SVGs together with their surrounding tissues; however, it exacerbates wound complications. The patency of NT SVGs is superior to that of ...

However, radial artery spasm (RAS) remains one of the most commonly cited reasons for access site conversions. We discuss the benefits, techniques, and indications for using the long radial sheath in ...

Ultrasound-based algorithms are commonly used to assess mechanical properties of arterial walls in studies of arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. Speckle tracking based techniques used for ...

Light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) is a pigment–protein complex present in higher plants and green algae. LHCII represents the main site of light absorption, and its role is to transfer the ...

For the noninvasive and accurate measurement of instantaneous blood pressure (BP) in the radial artery, the performance of a device based on the principle of volume-compensation was assessed by ...
