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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Long Beach, Calif. – May 2, 2024 – New data demonstrate the superiority of radial arterial access compared to femoral arterial access for coronary interventions. Findings showed radial access was ...

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 ...

New data demonstrate the superiority of radial arterial access compared to femoral arterial access for coronary interventions. Findings showed radial access was associated with lower rates of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vascular closure devices are being widely used in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization through femoral arterial access. Cardiovascular procedures that require catheterization include ...

In endovascular peripheral vascular interventions, the use of arterial cutdown and smaller sheath diameters may reduce the risk for brachial access site complications. For a recent study, researchers ...
