PTA+DCB, P Key findings include: · One-year primary patency (freedom from both clinically driven target lesion revascularization and duplex ultrasound-derived restenosis) did not differ between groups, despite the significant difference in baseline calcification. · DA+DCB versus 5.9% versus 21.1%, P =0.014). versus 21.1%, P =0.014).

Systematic approach to obtain axillary arterial access for pediatric heart catheterizations

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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. Overall, 27/36 procedures were interventional, including 6 aortic valvuloplasties, 6 balloon angioplasties, and 15 stenting procedures. We administrated intra-arterial verapamil (1.25 mg)

A dialysis patient with nonspecific symptoms and pseudonormalization of ST segments

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

His ED cardiac ultrasound (which is not at all ideal for detecting wall motion abnormalities, and is also very operator dependent for this finding) was significant for depressed global EF. The lesion was intervened on with balloon angioplasty and had subsequent TIMI 3 flow. The patient's initial troponin I was 2.0
