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 ...

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 ...

The use of the radial arterial access site for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the US increased markedly between 2013 and 2022 and was linked to lower risks for in-hospital mortality, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although using the radial artery as the access point for angioplasty has been linked to reduced bleeding compared to use of the femoral artery, only a small number of high-risk heart attack patients ...

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 ...

In patients with peripheral artery disease, radial artery access is safe and feasible for peripheral vascular intervention. Radial artery access is safe and feasible for peripheral vascular ...

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 ...

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 ...
