Abstract 4140682: Clinical Case: Flipping the Script: Tackling CAD in Dextrocardia During Cardiac Catheterization

Circulation

Introduction:Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition where the heart's apex points to the right, with an incidence of about 0.01%. After guidewire crossing, balloon angioplasty was performed, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed. An intravascular ultrasound was also performed, which was negative for vessel dissection.

Systematic approach to obtain axillary arterial access for pediatric heart catheterizations

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023. We aimed ultrasound-guided punctures in the proximal two-thirds of axillary arteries with diameters ≥2 mm to insert 7 cm/4 Fr short introducers. months (IQR, 0.3–5.4),
