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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—Operators performing PCI via the femoral artery can rest assured that the procedure causes no more harm than primary PCI performed via the radial artery, according to the results of a ...

Radial artery access for diagnostic coronary angiography and PCI as an alternative to femoral artery access has been used internationally for 2 decades and may be gaining momentum in the United States ...

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 ...

For years transfemoral access was the predominant approach for cardiac procedures, but transradial cardiac interventions have recently gained substantial and rapid growth in the United States.

Heart catheterization, a procedure to detect and clear clogged arteries, traditionally involves inserting a plastic tube through a groin incision into the femoral artery. But a new study shows fewer ...

BOSTON -- Routine ultrasound guidance for accessing the femoral vein for percutaneous coronary procedures didn't cut down on bleeding and vascular complications, the UNIVERSAL trial showed. The ...

Heart catheterization, a procedure to detect and clear clogged arteries, traditionally involves inserting a plastic tube through a groin incision into the femoral artery. But a new study shows fewer ...

The key feature defining transcatheter cardiovascular interventions is that access to the vessels and heart is achieved by arterial puncture with a needle, rather than surgical incision with a scalpel ...
