Clinical trial supports radial artery access as preferable to femoral artery for angioplasty in patients with ST elevation acute coronary syndrome San Francisco, CA --Results of a randomized clinical ...

CARDIFF, WALES — Although the femoral artery remains a common access point for chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, it's associated with increased risk of access-site complications like bleeding but ...

BOSTON, MA—Ultrasound guidance for femoral access does not appear to reduce bleeding or vascular complications but does reduce the risk of venipuncture and lowers the number of arterial puncture ...

Cardiac catheterization begins with arterial access and ends with access-site closure, both of which are fundamental to the safe performance of diagnostic and interventional procedures The preferred ...

September 30, 2009 (San Francisco, California) — A small study has found that ultrasound imaging doesn't seem to improve upon the overall success rate of fluoroscopy-assisted femoral-access PCI, ...

As the evidence grows for the superiority of radial access over femoral access with regard to reducing bleeding events and improving clinical outcomes, the authors discuss the modern approach to ...

The radial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces vascular access site complications when compared with the femoral approach and results in similar success rates. These findings ...

Alternative access such as transpedal and tibial access is important in the practice of vascular intervention today. For example, in long chronic total occlusions, the first access we usually try is ...

A new study published today in the Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (JSCAI) explores the safety and efficacy of using radial access (RA) for peripheral artery ...

(HealthDay News) — For patients with acute coronary syndrome managed with invasive procedures, radial artery access reduces mortality, major coronary adverse events, and major bleeding compared to ...
