Systematic approach to obtain axillary arterial access for pediatric heart catheterizations

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Overall, 27/36 procedures were interventional, including 6 aortic valvuloplasties, 6 balloon angioplasties, and 15 stenting procedures. Results We identified 30 patients (66.7% males) with a median age of 1.1 months (IQR, 0.3–5.4), 5.4), and a median weight of 3.1 kg kg (IQR, 2.7–3.7). months (IQR, 1.7–5.1). mm (IQR, 2.4–3). min (IQR, 19.2–34.8).

EMS 12-Lead

A second 12 Lead ECG was recorded: This is a testament to the dynamic nature of coronary thrombosis and thrombolysis. One stent was deployed with restorative TIMI-0 flow. The patient verbalized spontaneous improvement just before 324mg ASA administration. But the lesion is still active! However, when the Troponin I returned 8.4
